Mark one card with a $1$, two cards with a $2$, ..., fifty cards with a $50$. Put these $1+2+...+50=1275$ cards into a box and shuffle them. How many cards do you need to take from the box to be certain that you will have taken at least $10$ cards with the same mark?

For every pair of integers $a$, $b$, we define an operator $a\otimes b$ with the following three properties.
1. $a\otimes a=a+2$;
2. $a\otimes b=b\otimes a$;
3. $\frac{a\otimes (a+b)}{a\otimes b}=\frac{a+b}{b}.$
Calculate $8\otimes 5$.

During a tournament with six players, each player plays a match against each other player. At each match there is a winner; ties do not occur. A journalist asks five of the six players how many matches each of them has won. The answers given are $4$, $3$, $2$, $2$ and $2$. How many matches have been won by the sixth player?

Let $n$ be an integer (positive or negative). Find all values of $n$, for which $n$ is $4^{\frac{n-1}{n+1}}$ an integer.

Klein tosses $n$ fair coins and Möbius tosses $n+1$ fair coins. What’s the probability that Möbius gets more heads than Klein? (Note that a fair coin is one that comes up heads half the time, and comes up tails the other half of the time).

The letters $A$, $E$ and $T$ each represent different digits from $0$ to $9$ inclusive. We are told that $$ATE\times EAT\times TEA=36239651.$$ What is $A\times E\times T$?

The kingdom of Rabbitland consists of a finite number of cities. No matter how you split the kingdom into two, there is always a train connection from a city in one part of the divide to a city in the other part of the divide. Show that one can in fact travel from any city to any other, possibly changing trains.
