Problem 1

Several people visited a library yesterday. Each one visited the library just once (in the course of yesterday). Amongst any three of them, there were two who met in the library. Prove that there were two moments TT and TT ' yesterday such that everyone who visited the library yesterday was in the library at TT or T′T' (or both).

Problem 2

Three circles C1C_1 , C2C_2 , C3C_3 in the plane touch each other (in three different points). Connect the common point of C1C_1 and C2C_2 with the other two common points by straight lines. Show that these lines meet C3C_3 in diametrically opposite points.

Problem 3

(x1,y1,z1)(x_1, y_1,z_1) and (x2,y2,z2)(x_2, y_2, z_2) are triples of real numbers such that for every pair of integers (m,n)(m,n) at least one of x1m+y1n+z1x_{1m} + y_{1n} + z_1 , x2m+y2n+z2x_{2m} + y_{2n} + z_2 is an even integer. Prove that one of the triples consists of three integers.
