In the secret service, there are \(n\) agents – 001, 002, ..., 007, ..., \(n\). The first agent monitors the one who monitors the second, the second monitors the one who monitors the third, etc., the nth monitors the one who monitors the first. Prove that \(n\) is an odd number.
Construct a function defined at all points on a real line which is continuous at exactly one point.
In a square which has sides of length 1 there are 100 figures, the total area of which sums to more than 99. Prove that in the square there is a point which belongs to all of these figures.
Every point in a plane, which has whole-number co-ordinates, is plotted in one of \(n\) colours. Prove that there will be a rectangle made out of 4 points of the same colour.
Prove that multiplying the polynomial \((x + 1)^{n-1}\) by any polynomial different from zero, we obtain a polynomial having at least \(n\) nonzero coefficients.
One of \(n\) prizes is embedded in each chewing gum pack, where each prize has probability \(1/n\) of being found.
How many packets of gum, on average, should I buy to collect the full collection prizes?
On a \(100 \times 100\) board 100 rooks are placed that cannot capturing one another.
Prove that an equal number of rooks is placed in the upper right and lower left cells of \(50 \times 50\) squares.
On a board of size \(8 \times 8\), two in turn colour the cells so that there are no corners of three coloured squares. The player who can’t make a move loses. Who wins with the right strategy?
Find the number of zeros in which the number \(11^{100} - 1\) ends.
On a plane there are 100 sheep-points and one wolf-point. In one move, the wolf moves by no more than 1, after which one of the sheep moves by a distance of no more than 1, after that the wolf again moves, etc. At any initial location of the points, will a wolf be able to catch one of the sheep?
