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.
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?
The planet has \(n\) residents, some are liars and some are truth tellers. Each resident said: “Among the remaining residents of the island, more than half are liars.” How many liars are on the island?
You are given a table of size \(m \times n\) (\(m, n > 1\)). In it, the centers of all cells are marked. What is the largest number of marked centers that can be chosen so that no three of them are the vertices of a right triangle?
A \(99 \times 99\) chequered table is given, each cell of which is painted black or white. It is allowed (at the same time) to repaint all of the cells of a certain column or row in the colour of the majority of cells in that row or column. Is it always possible to have that all of the cells in the table are painted in the same colour?
There are several cities (more than one) in a country; some pairs of cities are connected by roads. It is known that you can get from every city to any other city by driving along several roads. In addition, the roads do not form cycles, that is, if you leave a certain city on some road and then move so as not to pass along one road twice, it is impossible to return to the initial city. Prove that in this country there are at least two cities, each of which is connected by a road with exactly one city.
