Let $n$ be a positive integer. We arrange $1+2+\cdots+n$ circles in a triangle with $n$ rows, such that the $i^{\text {th }}$ row contains exactly $i$ circles. The following figure shows the case $n=6$. In this triangle, a ninja-path is a sequence of circles obtained by repeatedly going from a circle to one of the two ...

Let $n \geqslant 2$ be a positive integer. Paul has a $1 \times n^{2}$ rectangular strip consisting of $n^{2}$ unit squares, where the $i^{\text {th }}$ square is labelled with $i$ for all $1 \leqslant i \leqslant n^{2}$. He wishes to cut the strip into several pieces, where each piece consists of a number of consecuti...

The Imomi archipelago consists of $n \geqslant 2$ islands. Between each pair of distinct islands is a unique ferry line that runs in both directions, and each ferry line is operated by one of $k$ companies. It is known that if any one of the $k$ companies closes all its ferry lines, then it becomes impossible for a tra...
