2003 Tournament Of Towns, 1

Smallville is populated by unmarried men and women, some of them are acquainted. Two city’s matchmakers are aware of all acquaintances. Once, one of matchmakers claimed: “I could arrange that every brunette man would marry a woman he was acquainted with”. The other matchmaker claimed “I could arrange that every blonde woman would marry a man she was acquainted with”. An amateur mathematician overheard their conversation and said “Then both arrangements could be done at the same time! ” Is he right?

Let $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$ be real numbers, and let $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_n$ be distinct positive integers. Suppose that there is a polynomial $f(x)$ satisfying the identity \[ (1-x)^n f(x) = 1 + \sum_{i=1}^n a_i x^{b_i}. \] Find a simple expression (not involving any sums) for $f(1)$ in terms of $b_1, b_2, \dots, b_n$ and $n$ (but independent of $a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n$).

2005 Belarusian National Olympiad, 7

The deputies in a parliament were split into $10$ fractions. According to regulations, no fraction may consist of less than five people, and no two fractions may have the same number of members. After the vacation, the fractions disintegrated and several new fractions arose instead. Besides, some deputies became independent. It turned out that no two deputies that were in the same fraction before the vacation entered the same fraction after the vacation. Find the smallest possible number of independent deputies after the vacation.

Kyiv City MO 1984-93 - geometry, 1989.8.5

The student drew a right triangle $ABC$ on the board with a right angle at the vertex $B$ and inscribed in it an equilateral triangle $KMP$ such that the points $K, M, P$ lie on the sides $AB, BC, AC$, respectively, and $KM \parallel AC$. Then the picture was erased, leaving only points $A, P$ and $C$. Restore erased points and lines.

[b]10.[/b] A car is used by $n$ drivers. Every morning the drivers choose by drawing that one of them who will drive the car that day. Let us define the random variable $\mu (n)$ as the least positive integer such that each driver drives at least one day during the first $\mu (n)$ days.

2022 IMO Shortlist, C7

Lucy starts by writing $s$ integer-valued $2022$-tuples on a blackboard. After doing that, she can take any two (not necessarily distinct) tuples $\mathbf{v}=(v_1,\ldots,v_{2022})$ and $\mathbf{w}=(w_1,\ldots,w_{2022})$ that she has already written, and apply one of the following operations to obtain a new tuple: \begin{align*} \mathbf{v}+\mathbf{w}&=(v_1+w_1,\ldots,v_{2022}+w_{2022}) \\ \mathbf{v} \lor \mathbf{w}&=(\max(v_1,w_1),\ldots,\max(v_{2022},w_{2022})) \end{align*} and then write this tuple on the blackboard. It turns out that, in this way, Lucy can write any integer-valued $2022$-tuple on the blackboard after finitely many steps. What is the smallest possible number $s$ of tuples that she initially wrote?
