$8$ CPLP football teams competed in a championship in which each team played one and only time with each of the other teams. In football, each win is worth $3$ points, each draw is worth $1$ point and the defeated team does not score. In that championship four teams were in first place with $15$ points and the others four came in second with $N$ points each. Knowing that there were $12$ draws throughout the championship, determine $N$.

The diagram below shows two parallel rows with seven points in the upper row and nine points in the lower row. The points in each row are spaced one unit apart, and the two rows are two units apart. How many trapezoids which are not parallelograms have vertices in this set of $16$ points and have area of at least six square units?

Write two ones, then a $2$ between them, then a $3$ between the numbers whose sum is $3$, then a $4$ between the numbers whose sum is $4$, as shown below: $$(1, 1), (1, 2, 1),(1, 3, 2, 3, 1), (1, 4, 3, 2, 3, 4, 1)$$ and so on.

Vanya was asked to write on the board an expression equal to $10$, using only the numbers $1$, the signs $+$ and $-$ and brackets (you cannot make up the numbers $11$, $111$, etc., as well as $(-1)$). He knows that the bully Anton will then correct all the $+$ signs to $-$ and vice versa. Help Vanya compose the required expression, which will remain equal to $10$ even after Anton's actions.

The numbers $1,\, 2,\, \ldots\, , n^{2}$ are written in the squares of an $n \times n$ board in some order. Initially there is a token on the square labelled with $n^{2}.$ In each step, the token can be moved to any adjacent square (by side). At the beginning, the token is moved to the square labelled with the number $1$ along a path with the minimum number of steps. Then it is moved to the square labelled with $2,$ then to square $3,$ etc, always taking the shortest path, until it returns to the initial square. If the total trip takes $N$ steps, find the smallest and greatest possible values of $N.$
