Given \(n\) points that are connected by segments so that each point is connected to some other and there are no two points that would be connected in two different ways. Prove that the total number of segments is \(n - 1\).

120 unit squares are placed inside a \(20 \times 25\) rectangle. Prove that it will always be possible to place a circle with diameter 1 inside the rectangle, without it overlapping with any of the unit squares.

You are given \(7\) straight lines on a plane, no two of which are parallel. Prove that there will be two lines such that the angle between them is less than \(26^{\circ}\).

A system of points connected by segments is called “connected” if from each point one can go to any other one along these segments. Is it possible to connect five points to a connected system so that when erasing any segment, exactly two connected points systems are formed that are not related to each other? (We assume that in the intersection of the segments, the transition from one of them to another is impossible).

All of the integers from 1 to 64 are written in an \(8 \times 8\) table. Prove that in this case there are two adjacent numbers, the difference between which is not less than 5. (Numbers that are in cells which share a common side are called adjacent).

What is the largest amount of numbers that can be selected from the set 1, 2, ..., 1963 so that the sum of any two numbers is not divisible by their difference?

All of the integers from 1 to 81 are written in a \(9 \times 9\) table. Prove that in this case there are two adjacent numbers, the difference between which is not less than 6. (Numbers that are in cells which share a common side are called adjacent.)

Prove that in a group of 11 arbitrary infinitely long decimal numbers, it is possible to choose two whose difference contains either, in decimal form, an infinite number of zeroes or an infinite number of nines.

A group of \(2n\) people were gathered together, of whom each person knew no less than \(n\) of the other people present. Prove that it is possible to select 4 people and seat them around a table so that each person sits next to people they know. (\(n \geq 2\))

Two players play on a square field of size \(99 \times 99\), which has been split onto cells of size \(1 \times 1\). The first player places a cross on the center of the field; After this, the second player can place a zero on any of the eight cells surrounding the cross of the first player. After that, the first puts a cross onto any cell of the field next to one of those already occupied, etc. The first player wins if he can put a cross on any corner cell. Prove that with any strategy of the second player the first can always win.
