There are $n$ boys $B_1, B_2, ... , B_n$ and $n$ girls $G_1, G_2, ... , G_n$. Each boy ranks the girls in order of preference, and each girl ranks the boys in order of preference. Show that we can arrange the boys and girls into n pairs so that we cannot find a boy and a girl who prefer each other to their partners.
For example if $(B_1, G_3)$ and $(B_4, G_7)$ are two of the pairs, then it must not be the case that $B_4$ prefers $G_3$ to $G_7$ and $G_3$ prefers $B_4$ to $B_1$.

Each of the $9$ referees on the figure skating championship estimates the program of $20$ sportsmen by assigning him a place (from $1$ to $20$). The winner is determined by adding those numbers. (The less is the sum - the higher is the final place). It was found, that for the each sportsman, the difference of the places, received from the different referees was not greater than $3$. What can be the maximal sum for the winner?

Fedir and Mykhailo have three piles of stones: the first contains $100$ stones, the second $101$, the third $102$. They are playing a game, going in turns, Fedir makes the first move. In one move player can select any two piles of stones, let's say they have $a$ and $b$ stones left correspondently, and remove $gcd(a, b)$ stones from each of them. The player after whose move some pile becomes empty for the first time wins. Who has a winning strategy?
As a reminder, $gcd(a, b)$ denotes the greatest common divisor of $a, b$.
