A right $100$-gon $P$ is given, which has $x$ vertices coloured in white and all other in black. If among some vertices of a right polygon, all the vertices of which are also vertices of $P$, there is exactly one white vertex, then you are allowed to colour this vertex in black. Find all positive integers $x \leq 100$ for which for all initial colourings it is not possible to make all vertices black. [i]A. Vaidzelevich,M. Shutro[/i]

In the city of $\textrm{Las Cobayas}$, the houses are arranged in a rectangular grid of $3$ rows and $n\geq 2$ columns, as illustrated in the figure. $\textrm{Mich}$ plans to move there and wants to tour the city to visit some of the houses in a way that he visits at least one house from each column and does not visit the same house more than once. During his tour, $\textrm{Mich}$ can move between adjacent houses, that is, after visiting a house, he can continue his journey by visiting one of the neighboring houses to the north, south, east, or west, which are at most four. The figure illustrates one $\textrm{Mich´s}$ position (circle), and the houses to which he can move (triangles). Let $f(n)$ be the number of ways $\textrm{Mich}$ can complete his tour starting from a house in the first column and ending at a house in the last column. Prove that $f(n)$ is odd.

Given $n$ lines on the plane, they divide the plane onto several bounded or bounded polygonal regions. Define the rank of a region as the number of vertices on its boundary (a vertex is a point which belongs to at least two lines). Prove that the sum of squares of ranks of all regions does not exceed $10n^2$. (D. Fomin)

In Middle-Earth, nine cities form a $3$ by $3$ grid. The top left city is the capital of Gondor and the bottom right city is the capital of Mordor. How many ways can the remaining cities be divided among the two nations such that all cities in a country can be reached from its capital via the grid-lines without passing through a city of the other country?

Let $\Omega$ and $O$ be the circumcircle and the circumcentre of an acute-angled triangle $ABC$ with $AB > BC$. The angle bisector of $\angle ABC$ intersects $\Omega$ at $M \ne B$. Let $\Gamma$ be the circle with diameter $BM$. The angle bisectors of $\angle AOB$ and $\angle BOC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at points $P$ and $Q,$ respectively. The point $R$ is chosen on the line $P Q$ so that $BR = MR$. Prove that $BR\parallel AC$. (Here we always assume that an angle bisector is a ray.) [i]Proposed by Sergey Berlov, Russia[/i]

Let $n \geq 3$ be an integer. John and Mary play the following game: First John labels the sides of a regular $n$-gon with the numbers $1, 2,\ldots, n$ in whatever order he wants, using each number exactly once. Then Mary divides this $n$-gon into triangles by drawing $n-3$ diagonals which do not intersect each other inside the $n$-gon. All these diagonals are labeled with number $1$. Into each of the triangles the product of the numbers on its sides is written. Let S be the sum of those $n - 2$ products. Determine the value of $S$ if Mary wants the number $S$ to be as small as possible and John wants $S$ to be as large as possible and if they both make the best possible choices.
