Let $n\geq 1$ be a positive integer. We say that an integer $k$ is a [i]fan [/i]of $n$ if $0\leq k\leq n-1$ and there exist integers $x,y,z\in\mathbb{Z}$ such that
\begin{align*}
x^2+y^2+z^2 &\equiv 0 \pmod n;\\
xyz &\equiv k \pmod n.
\end{align*}

A regular hexagon with side length $1$ is given. Using a ruler construct points in such a way that among the given and constructed points there are two such points that the distance between them is $\sqrt7$.
Notes: ''Using a ruler construct points $\ldots$'' means: Newly constructed points arise only as the intersection of straight lines connecting two points that are given or already constructed. In particular, no length can be measured by the ruler.
A line, which passes through the incentre $I$ of the triangle $ABC$, meets its sides $AB$ and $BC$ at the points $M$ and $N$ respectively. The triangle $BMN$ is acute. The points $K,L$ are chosen on the side $AC$ such that $\angle ILA=\angle IMB$ and $\angle KC=\angle INB$. Prove that $AM+KL+CN=AC$.

Graph $G$ has $n\geq 2$ vertices. Find the largest $m$ such that one of the following is true for always:
1. There exists a cycle with $k\geq m$ vertices.
2. There exists an independent set with $m$ vertices.
Two long cylindrical tubes of the same length but different diameters lie parallel to each other on a flat surface. The larger tube has radius $72$ and rolls along the surface toward the smaller tube, which has radius $24$. It rolls over the smaller tube and continues rolling along the flat surface until it comes to rest on the same point of its circumference as it started, having made one complete revolution. If the smaller tube never moves, and the rolling occurs with no slipping, the larger tube ends up a distance $x$ from where it starts. The distance $x$ can be expressed in the form $a\pi+b\sqrt{c},$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are integers and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$
a) 2 white and 2 black cats are sitting on the line. The sum of distances from the white cats to one black cat is 4, to the other black cat is 8. The sum of distances from the black cats to one white cat is 3, to the other white cat is 9. What cats are sitting on the edges?
b) 2 white and 3 black cats are sitting on the line. The sum of distances from the white cats to one black cat is 11, to another black cat is 7 and to the third black cat is 9. The sum of distances from the black cats to one white cat is 12, to the other white cat is 15. What cats are sitting on the edges?

If $E$ and $F$ are points on lines $AB$ and $AC$ such that $\angle XEA = \angle XFA = 90^o$ , then prove that the line $DX$ bisects the segment $EF$.

Let $(a_1,a_2,\ldots, a_{13})$ be a permutation of $(1, 2, \ldots, 13)$. Ayvak takes this permutation and makes a series of [i]moves[/i], each of which consists of choosing an integer $i$ from $1$ to $12$, inclusive, and swapping the positions of $a_i$ and $a_{i+1}$. Define the [i]weight[/i] of a permutation to be the minimum number of moves Ayvak needs to turn it into $(1, 2, \ldots, 13)$.
