Problem 1

At a party, there are 20112011 people with a glass of fruit juice each sitting around a circular table. Once a second, they clink glasses obeying the following two rules: (a) They do not clink glasses crosswise. (b) At each point of time, everyone can clink glasses with at most one other person. How many seconds pass at least until everyone clinked glasses with everybody else?

Problem 10

On each square of an n×nn\times n -chessboard, there are two bugs. In a move, each bug moves to a (vertically of horizontally) adjacent square. Bugs from the same square always move to different squares. Determine the maximal number of free squares that can occur after one move.
