There are
cities in a country, where
is an integer. Some pairs of cities are connected by direct (two-way) flights. For two cities
and
we define:
A
between
and
as a sequence of distinct cities
,
, such that there are direct flights between
and
for every
;
A
between
and
as a path between
and
such that no other path between
and
has more cities;
A
between
and
as a path between
and
such that no other path between
and
has fewer cities.
Assume that for any pair of cities
and
in the country, there exist a long path and a short path between them that have no cities in common (except
and
). Let
be the total number of pairs of cities in the country that are connected by direct flights. In terms of
, find all possible values

connected set in grid
by David-Vieta, Sep 8, 2024, 5:06 AM
Given a positive integer
. Consider a
grid, a set
of squares is called connected if for any points
in
, there exists an integer
and
squares
in
such that
and
shares a common side (
).
Find the largest integer
satisfying that however the squares are colored black or white, there always exists a connected set
for which the absolute value of the difference between the number of black and white squares is at least
.

It took me so long to solve. Only if I knew a few projective theorems.
Problem : (RMM 2013 Problem 3)
Let
be a quadrilateral inscribed in a circle
. The lines
and
meet at
, the lines
and
meet at
, and the diagonals
and
meet at
. Let
be the midpoint of the segment
, and let
be the common point of the segment
and the circle
. Prove that the circumcircle of the triangle
and
are tangent to one another.
Solution :
Let
be the center of

Let
and

Let
be the reflection of

Lemma :
Proof :
Well known
Obviously,
is a straight line (radical axis are concurrent).
Let
Then, since
is the polar od
, 

Thus
and
are straight lines..
We know that
and
are cyclic quadrilaterals.

Hence
It is well known that
Since
lies on the polar of
,

Also since
is a straight line;
is the midpoint of

Since
is the reflection of

is the reflection of
about 
Hence
That is
Using the above results,
is a cyclic pentagon.
Now invert with radius
and centre
.
Obviously
The cyclic pentagon implies,
and 
Thus one of
