There are 100100 random, distinct real numbers corresponding to 100100 points on a circle. Prove that you can always choose 44 consecutive points in such a way that the sum of the two numbers corresponding to the points on the outside is always greater than the sum of the two numbers corresponding to the two points on the inside.

Each of 10001000 elves has a hat, red on the inside and blue on the outside or vise versa. An elf with a hat that is red outside can only lie, and an elf with a hat that is blue outside can only tell the truth. One day every elf tells every other elf, “Your hat is red on the outside.” During that day, some of the elves turn their hats inside out at any time during the day. (An elf can do that more than once per day.) Find the smallest possible number of times any hat is turned inside out.

On an n×nn\times n chart, where n4n \geq 4, stand "++" signs in the cells of the main diagonal and "-" signs in all the other cells. You can change all the signs in one row or in one column, from - to ++ or from ++ to -. Prove that you will always have nn or more ++ signs after finitely many operations.
