Austin is at the Lincoln Airport. He wants to take $5$ successive flights whose destinations are randomly chosen among Indianapolis, Jackson, Kansas City, Lincoln, and Milwaukee. The origin and destination of each flight may not be the same city, but Austin must arrive back at Lincoln on the last of his flights. Compute the probability that the cities Austin arrives at are all distinct.

Circle $k$ with radius $r$ touches the line $p$ in point $A$. Let $AB$ be a dimeter of circle and $C$ an arbitrary point of circle distinct from points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be a foot of perpendicular from point $C$ to line $AB$. Let $E$ be a point on extension of line $CD$, over point $D$, such that $ED=BC$. Let tangents on circle from point $E$ intersect line $p$ in points $K$ and $N$. Prove that length of $KN$ does not depend from $C$
There are $2^n$ airports, numbered with binary strings of length $n{}$. Any two stations whose numbers differ in exactly one digit are connected by a flight that has a price (which is the same in both directions). The sum of the prices of all $n{}$ flights leaving any station does not exceed 1. Prove that one can travel between any two airports by paying no more than 1.
Given an $n \times n$ ($n \ge 3$) square table with one of the following unit vectors $\uparrow, \downarrow, \leftarrow, \rightarrow$ in any its cell (the vectors are parallel to the sides and the middles of them coincide with the centers of the cells). Per move a beetle creeps from one cell to another in accordance with the vector’s direction. If the beetle starts from any cell, then it comes back to this cell after some number of moves. The vectors are directed so that they do not allow the beetle to leave the table.
Is it possible that the sum of all vectors at any row (except for the first one and the last one) is equal to the vector that is parallel to this row, and the sum of all vectors at any column (except for the first one and the last one) is equal to the vector that is parallel to this column ?

Al walks down to the bottom of an escalator that is moving up and he counts 150 steps. His friend, Bob, walks up to the top of the escalator and counts 75 steps. If Al's speed of walking (in steps per unit time) is three times Bob's walking speed, how many steps are visible on the escalator at a given time? (Assume that this value is constant.)
$\Delta oa_1b_1$ is isosceles with $\angle a_1ob_1 = 36^\circ$. Construct $a_2,b_2,a_3,b_3,...$ as below, with $|oa_{i+1}| = |a_ib_i|$ and $\angle a_iob_i = 36^\circ$, Call the summed area of the first $k$ triangles $A_k$.
