There are \(16\) cities in the kingdom. Prove that it is not possible to build a system of roads in such a way that one can get from any city to any other without passing through more than one city on the way, and with at most four roads coming out of each city.

Today’s topic is inequalities, expressions like \(a\geq b\), or \(a>b\). There are certain rules for operating inequalities: one can subtract the same number from both sides of the inequality, namely if \(a\geq b\), then \(a-b \geq 0\). If \(a \geq b\) and \(b\geq c\), then \(a\geq c\). If a number \(c\geq 0\), then from \(a\geq b\) it follows that \(ac \geq bc\). However, in case of multiplication by a negative number \(c\leq 0\), the inequality sign reverses: from \(a\geq b\) it follows that \(ac \leq bc\). One should also remember that the square of any real number is non-negative.
Recall that a line is tangent to a circle if they have only one point of intersection, a circle is called inscribed in a polygon if it is tangent to every side as a segment of that polygon.
In the triangle \(CDE\) the angle \(\angle CDE = 90^{\circ}\) and the line \(DH\) is the median. A circle with center \(A\) is inscribed in the triangle \(CDH\) and is tangent to the segment \(DH\) in its middle, let’s denote it as \(G\), so \(GH=DG\). Find the angles of the triangle \(CDE\).
A circle with center \(A\) is inscribed into a square \(CDFE\). A line \(GH\) intersects the sides \(CD\) and \(CE\) of the square and is tangent to the circle at the point \(I\). Find the perimeter of the triangle \(CHG\) (the sum of lengths of all the sides) if the side of the square is \(10\)cm.
Recall that a line is tangent to a circle if they have only one point of intersection, a circle is called inscribed in a polygon if it is tangent to every side as a segment of that polygon.
In the triangle \(EFG\) the line \(EH\) is the median. Two circles with centres \(A\) and \(C\) are inscribed into triangles \(EFH\) and \(EGH\) respectively, they are tangent to the median \(EH\) at the points \(B\) and \(D\). Find the length of \(BD\) if \(EF-EG=2\).
Is it possible to cover a \(6 \times 6\) board with the \(L\)-tetraminos without overlapping? The pieces can be flipped and turned.
Is it possible to cover a \((4n+2) \times (4n+2)\) board with the \(L\)-tetraminos without overlapping for any \(n\)? The pieces can be flipped and turned.

There are \(100\) people standing in line, and one of them is Arthur. Everyone in the line is either a knight, who always tells the truth, or a liar who always lies. Everyone except Arthur said, "There are exactly two liars between Arthur and me." How many liars are there in this line, if it is known that Arthur is a knight?
