In an $8\times 8$ chessboard, the rows are numbers from $1$ to $8$ and the columns are labelled from $a$ to $h$. In a two-player game on this chessboard, the first player has a White Rook which starts on the square $b2$, and the second player has a Black Rook which starts on the square $c4$. The two players take turns moving their rooks. In each move, a rook lands on another square in the same row or the same column as its starting square. However, that square cannot be under attack by the other rook, and cannot have been landed on before by either rook. The player without a move loses the game. Which player has a winning strategy?

Prove that it is possible to choose $90$ of inhabitants so, that if you tell them a news simultaneously, it will be known to everybody in $10$ days.

A basket is called "[i]Stuff Basket[/i]" if it includes $10$ kilograms of rice and $30$ number of eggs. A market is to distribute $100$ Stuff Baskets. We know that there is totally $1000$ kilograms of rice and $3000$ number of eggs in the baskets, but some of market's baskets include either more or less amount of rice or eggs. In each step, market workers can select two baskets and move an arbitrary amount of rice or eggs between selected baskets. Starting from an arbitrary situation, what's the minimum number of steps that workers provide $100$ Stuff Baskets?

Show that Petya can play in such a manner, that after $n$ moves, the denominator of the fraction left on the board is at most $2^n+50$, no matter how Vasya acts.

A right circular cone pointing downward forms an angle of $60^\circ$ at its vertex. Sphere $S$ with radius $1$ is set into the cone so that it is tangent to the side of the cone. Three congruent spheres are placed in the cone on top of S so that they are all tangent to each other, to sphere $S$, and to the side of the cone.
