There are \(25\) bugs sitting on the squares of a \(5 \times 5\) board, \(1\) at each square. When I clap my hands, each bug jumps to a square diagonally from where it was before. Show that after I clap my hands, at least \(5\) squares will be empty.

In a convex quadrilateral \(ABCD\), all the triangles \(\triangle ABC\), \(\triangle BCD\), \(\triangle CDA\) and \(\triangle DAB\) have equal perimeters. Show that \(ABCD\) is a rectangle.

For two congruent triangles Prove that their corresponding heights are equal.

The sides \(AB\) and \(CD\) of the quadrilateral \(ABCD\) are equal, the points \(E\) and \(F\) are the midpoints of \(AB\) and \(CD\) correspondingly. Prove that the perpendicular bisectors of the segments \(BC\), \(AD\), and \(EF\) intersect at one point.

In the triangle \(ABC\) the heights \(AD\) and \(CE\) intersect at the point \(F\). It is known that \(CF=AF\). Prove that the triangle \(ABC\) is isosceles.

In the triangle \(ABC\) the points \(D,E,F\) are chosen on the sides \(AB, BC, AC\) in such a way that \(\angle ADF = \angle BDE\), \(\angle AFD = \angle CFE\), \(\angle CEF = \angle BED\). Prove that the segments \(AE, BF, CD\) are the heights of the triangle \(ABC\).

There are real numbers written on each field of a \(m \times n\) chessboard. Some of them are negative, some are positive. In one move we can multiply all the numbers in one column or row by \(-1\). Is that always possible to obtain a chessboard where sums of numbers in each row and column are non-negative?

Tom found a large, old clock face and put \(12\) sweets on the number \(12\). Then he started to play a game: in each move he moves one sweet to the next number clockwise, and some other to the next number anticlockwise. Is it possible that after finite number of steps there is exactly \(1\) of the sweets on each number?

There are numbers \(1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\) and \(10\) written on a board. Each time you make a "move" you can erase three of the remaining numbers, \(a,b\) and \(c\), and replace them with the numbers \(2a+b,2b+c\) and \(2c+a\). Is it possible to make all the \(10\) numbers left on the board equal?

On a certain island there are \(17\) grey, \(15\) brown and \(13\) crimson chameleons. If two chameleons of different colours meet, both of them change to the third colour. No other colour changes are allowed. Is it possible that after a few such colour transitions all the chameleons have the same colour?
