A coin is tossed three times. How many different sequences of heads and tails can you get?

Find the number of rectangles made up of the cells of a board with \(m\) horizontals and \(n\) verticals that contain a cell with the coordinates \((p, q)\).

Each of the edges of a complete graph consisting of 6 vertices is coloured in one of two colours. Prove that there are three vertices, such that all the edges connecting them are the same colour.

A square area of size \(100\times 100\) is covered in tiles of size \(1\times 1\) in 4 different colours – white, red, black, and grey. No two tiles of the same colour touch one another, that is share a side or a corner. How many red tiles can there be?

101 points are marked on a plane; not all of the points lie on the same straight line. A red pencil is used to draw a straight line passing through each possible pair of points. Prove that there will always be a marked point on the plane through which at least 11 red lines pass.

a) Can 4 points be placed on a plane so that each of them is connected by segments with three points (without intersections)?

b) Can 6 points be placed on a plane and connected by non-intersecting segments so that exactly 4 segments emerge from each point?

Some open sectors – that is sectors of circles with infinite radii – completely cover a plane. Prove that the sum of the angles of these sectors is no less than \(360^\circ\).

It is known that in a convex \(n\)-gon (\(n > 3\)) no three diagonals pass through one point. Find the number of points (other than the vertex) where pairs of diagonals intersect.
