Inside the trihedral angle $ OABC $, whose plane angles $ AOB $, $ BOC $, $ COA $ are equal, a point $ S $ is chosen equidistant from the faces of this angle. Through point $ S $ a plane is drawn that intersects the edges $ OA $, $ OB $, $ OC $ at points $ M $, $ N $, $ P $, respectively. Prove that the sum $$ \frac{1}{OM} + \frac{1}{ON} + \frac{1}{OP}$$ has a constant value, i.e. independent of the position of the plane $ MNP $.

We are given an equilateral triangle ABC with the length of its side equal to $1$. There are $n-1$ points on each side of the triangle $ABC$ that equally divide the side into $n$ segments. We draw all possible lines that pass through any two of all those $3(n-1)$ points such that they are parallel to one of three sides of triangle $ABC$. All such lines divide triangle $ABC$ into some lesser triangles whose vertices are called [i]nodes[/i]. We assign a real number for each [i]node[/i] such that the following conditions are satisfied: (I) real numbers $a,b,c$ are assigned to $A,B,C$ respectively; (II) for any rhombus that is consisted of two lesser triangles that share a common side, the sum of the numbers of vertices on its one diagonal is equal to that of vertices on the other diagonal. 1) Find the minimum distance between the [i]node[/i] with the maximal number to the [i]node[/i] with the minimal number; 2) Denote by $S$ the sum of the numbers of all [i]nodes[/i], find $S$.

Four frogs sit on the vertices of a square, one on each vertex. They jump in arbitrary order but not simultaneously. Each frog jumps to the point symmetrical to its take-off position with respect to the centre of gravity of the three other frogs. Can one of them jump (at a given time) exactly on to one of the others (considering their locations as points)? (A Andzans)

Morteza places a function $[0,1]\to [0,1]$ (that is a function with domain [0,1] and values from [0,1]) in each cell of an $n \times n$ board. Pavel wants to place a function $[0,1]\to [0,1]$ to the left of each row and below each column (i.e. to place $2n$ functions in total) so that the following condition holds for any cell in this board: If $h$ is the function in this cell, $f$ is the function below its column, and $g$ is the function to the left of its row, then $h(x) = f(g(x))$ for all $x \in [0, 1]$. Prove that Pavel can always fulfil his plan.

He puts the addresses on at random sends out the letters anyways. What are the chances that none of the three recipients get their intended letter? [b]p2.[/b] David is a horrible bowler. Luckily, Logan and Christy let him use bumpers. The bowling lane is $2$ meters wide, and David's ball travels a total distance of $24$ meters.
