To transmit messages by telegraph, each letter of the Russian alphabet () ( and are counted as identical) is represented as a five-digit combination of zeros and ones corresponding to the binary number of the given letter in the alphabet (letter numbering starts from zero). For example, the letter is represented in the form 00000, letter -00001, letter -10111, letter -11111. Transmission of the five-digit combination is made via a cable containing five wires. Each bit is transmitted on a separate wire. When you receive a message, Cryptos has confused the wires, so instead of the transmitted word, a set of letters is received. Find the word you sent.

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).

Let \(E\) and \(F\) be the midpoints of the sides \(BC\) and \(AD\) of the parallelogram \(ABCD\). Find the area of the quadrilateral formed by the lines \(AE, ED, BF\) and \(FC\), if it is known that the area \(ABCD\) is equal to \(S\).

Prove that a convex quadrilateral \(ICEF\) can contain a circle if and only if \(IC+EH = CE+IF\).

Let \(O\) be the center of the rectangle \(ABCD\). Find the geometric points of \(M\) for which \(AM \geq OM, BM \geq OM\), \(CM \geq OM\), and \(DM \geq OM\).

Three segments whose lengths are equal to \(a, b\) and \(c\) are given. Construct a segment of length: a) \(ab/c\); b) \(\sqrt {ab}\).

Two circles of radius \(R\) touch at point \(E\). On one of them, point \(B\) is chosen and on the other point \(D\) is chosen. These points have a property of \(\angle BED = 90^{\circ}\). Prove that \(BD = 2R\).

Two circles of radius \(R\) intersect at points \(D\) and \(B\). Let \(F\) and \(G\) be the points of intersection of the middle perpendicular to the segment \(BD\) with these circles lying on one side of the line \(BD\). Prove that \(BD^2 + FG^2 = 4R^2\).
