be two $n\times n$ tables such that $\{a_{ij}|1\le i,j\le n\}=\{b_{ij}|1\le i,j\le n\}=\{k\in N^*|1\le k\le n^2\}$.
One can perform the following operation on table $A$: Choose $2$ numbers in the same row or in the same column of $A$, interchange these $2$ numbers, and leave the remaining $n^2-2$ numbers unchanged. This operation is called a [b]transposition[/b] of $A$.
Find, with proof, the smallest positive integer $m$ such that for any tables $A$ and $B$, one can perform at most $m$ transpositions such that the resulting table of $A$ is $B$.

Let $ f(x) \equal{} x^8 \plus{} 4x^6 \plus{} 2x^4 \plus{} 28x^2 \plus{} 1.$ Let $ p > 3$ be a prime and suppose there exists an integer $ z$ such that $ p$ divides $ f(z).$ Prove that there exist integers $ z_1, z_2, \ldots, z_8$ such that if \[ g(x) \equal{} (x \minus{} z_1)(x \minus{} z_2) \cdot \ldots \cdot (x \minus{} z_8),\] then all coefficients of $ f(x) \minus{} g(x)$ are divisible by $ p.$
Consider a right cylinder with height $5\sqrt3$. A plane intersects each of the bases of the cylinder at exactly one point, and the cylindric section (the intersection of the plane and the cylinder) forms an ellipse. Find the product of the sum and the dierence of the lengths of the major and minor axes of this ellipse.
[i]Note:[/i] An ellipse is a regular oval shape resulting when a cone is cut by an oblique plane which does not intersect the base. The major axis is the longer diameter and the minor axis the shorter.
The first $510$ positive integers are written on a blackboard: $1, 2, 3, ..., 510$. An [i]operation [/i] consists of of erasing two numbers whose sum is a prime number. What is the maximum number of operations in a row what can be done? Show how it is accomplished and explain why it can be done in no more operations.
Let $K$, $L$, $M$, $N$ be the midpoints of sides $BC$, $CD$, $DA$, $AB$ respectively of a convex quadrilateral $ABCD$. The common points of segments $AK$, $BL$, $CM$, $DN$ divide each of them into three parts. It is known that the ratio of the length of the medial part to the length of the whole segment is the same for all segments. Does this yield that $ABCD$ is a parallelogram?
