The city plan is a rectangle of \(5 \times 10\) cells. On the streets, a one-way traffic system is introduced: it is allowed to go only to the right and upwards. How many different routes lead from the bottom left corner to the upper right?

Some open sectors – that is sectors of circles with infinite radii – completely cover a plane. Prove that the sum of the angles of these sectors is no less than \(360^\circ\).

It is known that in a convex \(n\)-gon (\(n > 3\)) no three diagonals pass through one point. Find the number of points (other than the vertex) where pairs of diagonals intersect.

10 magazines lie on a coffee table, completely covering it. Prove that you can remove five of them so that the remaining magazines will cover at least half of the table.

Every point in a plane, which has whole-number co-ordinates, is plotted in one of \(n\) colours. Prove that there will be a rectangle made out of 4 points of the same colour.

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.

There are three sets of dominoes of different colours. How can you put the dominoes from all three sets into a chain (according to the rules of the game) so that every two neighbouring dominoes are of a different colour?
