1

Each of the $10$ dwarfs either always tells the truth or always lies. It is known that each of them loves exactly one type of ice cream: vanilla, chocolate or fruit. First, Snow White asked those who like the vanilla ice cream to raise their hands, and everyone raised their hands, then those who like chocolate ice cream - and half of the dwarves raised their hands, then those who like the fruit ice cream - and only one dwarf raised his hand. How many of the gnomes are truthful?

2

The number $12$ is written on the whiteboard. Each minute, the number on the board is either multiplied or divided by one of the numbers $2$ or $3$ (a division is possible only if the result is an integer) . Prove that the number that will be written on the board in exactly one hour will not be equal to $54$.

3

Point $E$ is the midpoint of the base $AD$ of the trapezoid $ABCD$. Segments $BD$ and $CE$ intersect at point $F$. It is known that $AF$ is perpendicular to $BD$. Prove that $BC = FC$.

4

Is it possible to arrange all the integers from $0$ to $9$ in circles so that the sum of three numbers along any of the six segments is the same?

5

The teacher wrote on the board the quadratic polyomial $x^2+10x+20$. Then in turn, each of the students came to the board and increased or decreased by $1$ either the coefficient at $x$ or the constant term, but not both at once. As a result, the quadratic polyomial $x^2 + 20x +10$ appeared on the board. Is it true that at some point a quadratic polyomial with integer roots appeared on the board?

6

Eight pieces are placed on a chessboard so that each row and each column contains exactly one piece. Prove that there are an even number of pieces on the black squares of the board.

7

Points$ D, E, F$ are chosen on the sides $AB$, $BC$, $AC$ of a triangle $ABC$, so that $DE = BE$ and $FE = CE$. Prove that the centre of the circle circumscribed around triangle $ADF$ lies on the bisectrix of angle $DEF$.

8

Find the least value of the expression $(x+y)(y+z)$, under the conditionthat $x,y,z$ are positive numbers satisfying the equation $xyz(x + y + z) = 1$.

9

Does there exist a function $f(n)$, which maps the set of natural numbers into itself and such that for each natural number $n > 1$ the following equation is satisfied $$f(n) = f(f(n - 1)) + f(f(n + 1))?$$

10

It is known that $\frac{7}{13} + \sin \phi = \cos \phi$ for some real $\phi$. What is sin $2\phi$?

11

For which $k$ the number $N = 101 ... 0101$ with $k$ ones is a prime?

12

There are $11$ empty boxes. In one move, a player can put one coin in each of some $10$ boxes. Two people play, taking turns. The winner is the player after whose move in one of the boxes there will be $21$ coins. Who has a winning strategy?
