Prove that a graph with \(n\) vertices, the degree of each of which is at least \(\frac{n-1}{2}\), is connected.
In the Far East, the only type of transport is a carpet-plane. From the capital there are 21 carpet-planes, from the city of Dalny there is one carpet-plane, and from all of the other cities there are 20. Prove that you can fly from the capital to Dalny (possibly with interchanges).

There are three groups of stones: in the first – 10, in the second – 15, in the third – 20. During one turn, you are allowed to split any pile into two smaller ones; the one who cannot make a move loses.
Numbers from 1 to 20 are written in a row. Players take turns placing pluses and minuses between these numbers. After all of the gaps are filled, the result is calculated. If it is even, then the first player wins, if it is odd, then the second player wins. Who won?
