In some country there is a capital and another 100 cities. Some cities (including the capital) are connected by one-way roads. From each non-capital city 20 roads emerge, and 21 roads enter each such city. Prove that you cannot travel to the capital from any city.
Prove that on the edges of a connected graph one can arrange arrows so that from some vertex one can reach any other vertex along the arrows.
Several teams played a volleyball tournament amongst themselves. We will say that team \(A\) is better than team \(B\), if either \(A\) has either beaten team \(B\), or there exists such a team \(C\) that was beaten by \(A\), whilst \(C\) beat team \(B\).
a) Prove that there is a team that is better than all.
b) Prove that the team that won the tournament is the best.
Some two teams scored the same number of points in a volleyball tournament. Prove that there are teams \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\), in which \(A\) beat \(B\), \(B\) beat \(C\) and \(C\) beat \(A\).
In the country called Orientation a one-way traffic system was introduced on all the roads, and each city can be reached from any other one by driving on no more than two roads. One road was closed for repairs but from every city it remained possible to get to any other. Prove that for every two cities this can still be done whilst driving on no more than 3 roads.
In what number system is the equality \(3 \times 4 = 10\) correct?
Prove that \(\frac {1}{2} (x^2 + y^2) \geq xy\) for any \(x\) and \(y\).
Prove that for \(a, b, c > 0\), the following inequality is valid: \(\left(\frac{a+b+c}{3}\right)^2 \ge \frac{ab+bc+ca}{3}\).
Prove that for \(x \geq 0\) the inequality is valid: \(2x + \frac {3}{8} \ge \sqrt[4]{x}\).
