The White Rook pursues a black horse on a board of \(3 \times 1969\) cells (they walk in turn according to the usual rules). How should the rook play in order to take the horse? White makes the first move.
Does there exist a number \(h\) such that for any natural number \(n\) the number \(\lfloor h \times 2021^n\rfloor\) is not divisible by \(\lfloor h \times 2021^{n-1}\rfloor\)?
The numbers \(1, 2, 3, \dots , 99\) are written onto 99 blank cards in order. The cards are then shuffled and then spread in a row face down. The numbers \(1, 2, 3, \dots, 99\) are once more written onto in the blank side of the cards in order. For each card the numbers written on it are then added together. The 99 resulting summations are then multiplied together. Prove that the result will be an even number.
In a set there are 100 weights, each two of which differ in mass by no more than 20 g. Prove that these weights can be put on two cups of weighing scales, 50 pieces on each one, so that one cup of weights is lighter than the other by no more than 20 g.
A monkey escaped from it’s cage in the zoo. Two guards are trying to catch it. The monkey and the guards run along the zoo lanes. There are six straight lanes in the zoo: three long ones form an equilateral triangle and three short ones connect the middles of the triangle sides. Every moment of the time the monkey and the guards can see each other. Will the guards be able to catch the monkey, if it runs three times faster than the guards? (In the beginning of the chase the guards are in one of the triangle vertices and the monkey is in another one.)
It is known that a camera located at \(O\) cannot see the objects \(A\) and \(B\), where the angle \(AOB\) is greater than \(179^\circ\). 1000 such cameras are placed in a Cartesian plane. All of the cameras simultaneously take a picture. Prove that there will be a picture taken in which no more than 998 cameras are visible.
Prove that for every convex polyhedron there are two faces with the same number of sides.
Two identical gears have 32 teeth. They were combined and 6 pairs of teeth were simultaneously removed. Prove that one gear can be rotated relative to the other so that in the gaps in one gear where teeth were removed the second gear will have whole teeth.
The sum of 100 natural numbers, each of which is no greater than 100, is equal to 200. Prove that it is possible to pick some of these numbers so that their sum is equal to 100.
A conference was attended by a finite group of scientists, some of whom are friends. It turned out that every two scientists, who have an equal number of friends at the conference, do not have friends in common. Prove that there is a scientist who has exactly one friend among the conference attendees.
