\problem{}
|
||||
|
||||
Twelve people are standing in a circle. Each is assigned a number between 1 and 12. \par
|
||||
Participants numbered 1, 2, 3, and 4 hold red, green, yellow, and black balls, respectively. \par
|
||||
Everyone else is empty-handed.
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2mm}
|
||||
|
||||
Each participant can pass their ball to any student that is exactly 5 positions away. \par
|
||||
Balls cannot be passed to someone who has one in hand.
|
||||
|
||||
\vspace{2mm}
|
||||
|
||||
After a number of passes, the first four participants again hold all the balls. \par
|
||||
Participant 1 has a black ball. Which balls are held by participants 2, 3, and 4?
|
||||
|
||||
\begin{solution}
|
||||
\begin{itemize}
|
||||
\item the graph of possible moves is isomorphic to a circle (since 5 and 12 are coprime),
|
||||
\item but the balls get passed around, so swapping the place of any two balls is not allowed. \\
|
||||
Therefore, the balls will stay in their initial (cyclic) order:
|
||||
\end{itemize}
