Consider a $m\times n$ rectangular board consisting of $mn$ unit squares. Two of its unit squares are called [i]adjacent[/i] if they have a common edge, and a [i]path[/i] is a sequence of unit squares in which any two consecutive squares are adjacent. Two parths are called [i]non-intersecting[/i] if they don't share any common squares.
Each unit square of the rectangular board can be colored black or white. We speak of a [i]coloring[/i] of the board if all its $mn$ unit squares are colored.
Let $N$ be the number of colorings of the board such that there exists at least one black path from the left edge of the board to its right edge. Let $M$ be the number of colorings of the board for which there exist at least two non-intersecting black paths from the left edge of the board to its right edge.
Prove that $N^{2}\geq M\cdot 2^{mn}$.

Let $A$ be point in the exterior of the circle $\mathcal C$. Two lines passing through $A$ intersect the circle $\mathcal C$ in points $B$ and $C$ (with $B$ between $A$ and $C$) respectively in $D$ and $E$ (with $D$ between $A$ and $E$).

Let $G$ be the second point of intersection between the circle $\mathcal C$ and the line $AF$ and $M$ the point in which the lines $AB$ and $EG$ intersect. Prove that

Alex thinks of a two-digit integer (any integer between $10$ and $99$). Greg is trying to guess it. If the number Greg names is correct, or if one of its digits is equal to the corresponding digit of Alex’s number and the other digit differs by one from the corresponding digit of Alex’s number, then Alex says “hot”; otherwise, he says “cold”. (For example, if Alex’s number was $65$, then by naming any of $64, 65, 66, 55$ or $75$ Greg will be answered “hot”, otherwise he will be answered “cold”.)
[list][b](a)[/b] Prove that there is no strategy which guarantees that Greg will guess Alex’s number in no more than 18 attempts.
[b](b)[/b] Find a strategy for Greg to find out Alex’s number (regardless of what the chosen number was) using no more than $24$ attempts.
[b](c)[/b] Is there a $22$ attempt winning strategy for Greg?[/list]
