Let $T$ denote the $15$-element set $\{10a+b:a,b\in\mathbb{Z},1\le a<b\le 6\}$. Let $S$ be a subset of $T$ in which all six digits $1,2,\ldots ,6$ appear and in which no three elements together use all these six digits. Determine the largest possible size of $S$.
In Greifswald there are three schools called $A,B$ and $C$, each of which is attended by at least one student. Among any three students, one from $A$, one from $B$ and one from $C$, there are two knowing each other and two not knowing each other. Prove that at least one of the following holds: Some student from $A$ knows all students from $B$. Some student from $B$ knows all students from $C$. Some student from $C$ knows all students from $A$.
Given a rectangular grid, split into $m\times n$ squares, a colouring of the squares in two colours (black and white) is called valid if it satisfies the following conditions: All squares touching the border of the grid are coloured black. No four squares forming a $2\times 2$ square are coloured in the same colour. No four squares forming a $2\times 2$ square are coloured in such a way that only diagonally touching squares have the same colour. Which grid sizes $m\times n$ (with $m,n\ge 3$) have a valid colouring?
Two persons play the following game with integers. The initial number is $2011^{2011}$. The players move in turns. Each move consists of subtraction of an integer between $1$ and $2010$ inclusive, or division by $2011$, rounding down to the closest integer when necessary. The player who first obtains a non-positive integer wins. Which player has a winning strategy?
