Let us call a figure on a sheet of squares an arbitrary finite set of connected squares, i.e. a set of squares in which it is possible to go from any square to any other by walking only on the squares of this figure. Prove that for every natural n there exists such a figure on the sheet of squares that it can be cut into "corners" (Fig. 1) exactly in $F_n$ ways, where $F_n$ s the $n$-th Fibonacci number (in the series of Fibonacci numbers $F_1 = F_2 = 1$ and for each $i > 1$ holds $F_{i+2} = F_{i+1} + F_i$). For example, a rectangle of $2 \times 3$ squares can be cut at the corners in exactly two ways (Fig. $2$).

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We say that a natural number $k$ has the property $C_n$ if there exist $2k$ distinct positive integers $a_1,b_1,\ldots,a_k,b_k$ such that the sums $a_1+b_1,\ldots,a_k+b_k$ are distinct and strictly smaller than $n$.

(b) Prove that $5$ has the property $C_{14}$.
(c) If $(2n-3)/5$ is an integer, prove that it has the property $C_n$.

[i]The Marathon.[/i] Let $\omega$ denote the incircle of triangle $ABC$. The segments $BC$, $CA$, and $AB$ are tangent to $\omega$ at $D$, $E$ and $F$, respectively. Point $P$ lies on $EF$ such that segment $PD$ is perpendicular to $BC$. The line $AP$ intersects $BC$ at $Q$.

On the $1$ km long ridge of Mount SPAM, there are $2006$ lemmings. In the beginning, each of them walks along the ridge in one of the two possible directions with speed $1$ m/s . When two lemmings meet, they both reverse the directions they walk but keep their walking speed. When some lemming reaches the end of the ridge, he falls down and dies.
Find the least upper bound for the time it can take until all the lemmings are dead.
Let $n$ and $k$ be two positive integers. Consider a group of $k$ people such that, for each group of $n$ people, there is a $(n+1)$-th person that knows them all (if $A$ knows $B$ then $B$ knows $A$).

2) If $k=2n+2$, give an example of such a group in which no-one knows all others.
