What is the minimum number of points necessary to mark inside a convex \(n\)-sided polygon, so that at least one marked point always lies inside any triangle whose vertices are shared with those of the polygon?

A plane contains \(n\) straight lines, of which no two are parallel. Prove that some of the angles will be smaller than \(180^\circ/n\).

Cut an arbitrary triangle into 3 parts and out of these pieces construct a rectangle.

a) In Wonderland, there are three cities \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\). 6 roads lead from city \(A\) to city \(B\), and 4 roads lead from city \(B\) to city \(C\). How many ways can you travel from \(A\) to \(C\)?

b) In Wonderland, another city \(D\) was built as well as several new roads – two from \(A\) to \(D\) and two from \(D\) to \(C\). In how many ways can you now get from city \(A\) to city \(C\)?

How many distinct seven-digit numbers exist? It is assumed that the first digit cannot be zero.
