Problems
Every year the citizens of the planet “Lotsofteeth" enter a contest
to see who has the most teeth.
This year the judge notices:
Nobody has 0 teeth (everyone has at least 1).
There are more people in the contest than the most teeth that any one person has. (For example, if the most teeth anyone has is 27, then there are more than 27 people participating in the contest.)
Must there be two people who have exactly the same number of teeth? Explain why.
Long before meeting Snow White, the seven dwarves lived in seven different mines. There is an underground tunnel connecting any two mines. All tunnels were separate, so you could not start in one tunnel and somehow end up in another. Is it possible to walk through every tunnel exactly once without retracing your path?
A circle with centre \(A\) has the point \(B\) on its circumference. A smaller circle is drawn inside this with \(AB\) as a diameter and \(C\) as its centre. A point \(D\) (which is not \(B\)) is chosen on the circumference of the bigger circle, and the line \(BD\) is drawn. \(E\) is the point where the line \(BD\) intersects the smaller circle.
Show that \(|BE|=|DE|\).
Find the mistake in the sequence of equalities: \(-1=(-1)^{\frac{2}{2}}=((-1)^2)^{\frac{1}{2}}=1^{\frac{1}{2}}=1\).
A circle with center \(A\) is inscribed into a square \(CDFE\). A line \(GH\) intersects the sides \(CD\) and \(CE\) of the square and is tangent to the circle at the point \(I\). Find the perimeter of the triangle \(CHG\) (the sum of lengths of all the sides) if the side of the square is \(10\)cm.
The triangle visible in the picture is equilateral. The hexagon inside is a regular hexagon. If the area of the whole big triangle is \(18\), find the area of the small blue triangle.
In a pentagon \(ABCDE\), diagonal \(AD\) is parallel to the side \(BC\) and the diagonal \(CE\) is parallel to the side \(AB\). Show that the areas of the triangles \(\triangle ABE\) and \(\triangle BCD\) are the same.
Which triangle has the largest area? The dots form a regular grid.
