Does a continuous function that takes every real value exactly 3 times exist?
Prove that a convex quadrilateral \(ICEF\) can contain a circle if and only if \(IC+EH = CE+IF\).
Two perpendicular straight lines are drawn through the centre of the square. Prove that their intersection points with the sides of a square form a square.
Two circles \(c\) and \(d\) are tangent at point \(B\). Two straight lines intersecting the first circle at points \(D\) and \(E\) and the second circle at points \(G\) and \(F\) are drawn through the point \(B\). Prove that \(ED\) is parallel to \(FG\).
Several circles, whose total length of circumferences is 10, are placed inside a square of side 1. Prove that there will always be some straight line that crosses at least four of the circles.
We are given 51 two-digit numbers – we will count one-digit numbers as two-digit numbers with a leading 0. Prove that it is possible to choose 6 of these so that no two of them have the same digit in the same column.
