What is the minimum number of squares that need to be marked on a chessboard, so that:
1) There are no horizontally, vertically, or diagonally adjacent marked squares.
2) Adding any single new marked square breaks rule 1.
We are given 101 rectangles with integer-length sides that do not exceed 100.
Prove that amongst them there will be three rectangles \(A, B, C\), which will fit completely inside one another so that \(A \subset B \subset C\).
Find the number of solutions in natural numbers of the equation \(\lfloor x / 10\rfloor = \lfloor x / 11\rfloor + 1\).
An after school club was attended by 60 pupils. It turns out that in any group of 10 there will always be 3 classmates. Prove that within the group of 60 who attended there will always be at least 15 pupils from the same class.
4 points \(a, b, c, d\) lie on the segment \([0, 1]\) of the number line. Prove that there will be a point \(x\), lying in the segment \([0, 1]\), that satisfies \[\frac{1}{ | x-a |}+\frac{1}{ | x-b |}+\frac{1}{ | x-c |}+\frac{1}{ | x-d |} < 40.\]
Some points with integer co-ordinates are marked on a Cartesian plane. It is known that no four points lie on the same circle. Prove that there will be a circle of radius 1995 in the plane, which does not contain a single marked point.
Some real numbers \(a_1, a_2, a_3,\dots ,a _{2022}\) are written in a row. Prove that it is possible to pick one or several adjacent numbers, so that their sum is less than 0.001 away from a whole number.
The surface of a \(3\times 3\times 3\) Rubik’s Cube contains 54 squares. What is the maximum number of squares we can mark, so that no marked squares share a vertex or are directly adjacent to another marked square?
Each of the 1994 deputies in parliament slapped exactly one of his colleagues. Prove that it is possible to draw up a parliamentary commission of 665 people whose members did not clarify the relationship between themselves in the manner indicated above.
The centres of all unit squares are marked in a \(10 \times 10\) chequered box (100 points in total). What is the smallest number of lines, that are not parallel to the sides of the square, that are needed to be drawn to erase all of the marked points?
