Mummy-trolley huts are located on a straight line at points with coordinates $x_1, x_2,...., x_n$. In this village are going to build $3$ stores $A, B$ and $C$, of which will be brought every day to all Moomin-trolls chocolates, bread and water. For the delivery of chocolate, the store takes the distance from the store to the hut, raised to the square; for bread delivery , take the distance from the store to the hut; for water delivery take distance $1$, if the distance is greater than $1$ km, but do not take anything otherwise. a) Where to build each of the stores so that the total cost of all Moomin-trolls for delivery wasthe smallest? b) Where to place the TV tower, if the fee for each Moomin-troll is the maximum distance from the TV tower to the farthest hut from it? c) How will the answer change if the Moomin-troll huts are not located in a straight line, and on the plane?

Де побудувати кожний з магазинiв, щоб загальнi витрати всiх Мумi-тролей на доставку були найменшими? 2. Де розташувати телевежу, якщо плата для кожного Мумi-троля – максимальна вiдстань вiд телевежi до самої вiддаленої вiд неї хатинки? 3.

Rachel has two indistinguishable tokens, and places them on the first and second square of a $1 \times 6$ grid of squares, She can move the pieces in two ways: $\bullet$ If a token has free square in front of it, then she can move this token one square to the right. $\bullet$ If the square immediately to the right of a token is occupied by the other token, then she can “leapfrog” the first token; she moves the first token two squares to the right, over the other token, so that it is on the square immediately to the right of the other token. If a token reaches the $6$th square, then it cannot move forward any more, and Rachel must move the other one until it reaches the $5$th square. How many different sequences of moves for the tokens can Rachel make so that the two tokens end up on the $5$th square and the 6th square?

What is the minimum number of applications of this operation necessary to sort $A$?

Ten students take a test consisting of $4$ different papers in Algebra, Geometry, Number Theory and Combinatorics. First, the proctor distributes randomly the Algebra paper to each student. Then the remaining papers are distributed one at a time in the following order: Geometry, Number Theory, Combinatorics in such a way that no student receives a paper before he finishes the previous one. In how many ways can the proctor distribute the test papers given that a student may for example nish the Number Theory paper before another student receives the Geometry paper, and that he receives the Combinatorics paper after that the same other student receives the Combinatorics papers.
