Sam and Lena have several chocolates, each weighing not more than 100 grams. No matter how they share these chocolates, one of them will have a total weight of chocolate that does not exceed 100 grams. What is the maximum total weight of all of the chocolates?
A straight corridor of length 100 m is covered with 20 rugs that have a total length of 1 km. The width of each rug is equal to the width of the corridor. What is the longest possible total length of corridor that is not covered by a rug?
a) There are 21 coins on a table with the tails side facing upwards. In one operation, you are allowed to turn over any 20 coins. Is it possible to achieve the arrangement were all coins are facing with the heads side upwards in a few operations?
b) The same question, if there are 20 coins, but you are allowed to turn over 19.
Prove that no straight line can cross all three sides of a triangle, at points away from the vertices.
A rectangular billiard with sides 1 and \(\sqrt {2}\) is given. From its angle at an angle of \(45 ^\circ\) to the side a ball is released. Will it ever get into one of the pockets? (The pockets are in the corners of the billiard table).
A ream of squared paper is shaded in two colours. Prove that there are two horizontal and two vertical lines, the points of intersection of which are shaded in the same colour.
There are 25 points on a plane, and among any three of them there can be found two points with a distance between them of less than 1. Prove that there is a circle of radius 1 containing at least 13 of these points.
A unit square contains 51 points. Prove that it is always possible to cover three of them with a circle of radius \(\frac{1}{7}\).
What is the minimum number of points necessary to mark inside a convex \(n\)-sided polygon, so that at least one marked point always lies inside any triangle whose vertices are shared with those of the polygon?
A plane contains \(n\) straight lines, of which no two are parallel. Prove that some of the angles will be smaller than \(180^\circ/n\).
