The remaining point creates a right triangle with hypotenuse and one leg
解答:
把四条长度为 的线段看成以这四个点为顶点的图的边。若其中没有三角形,它们就会构成一个 环,而长度为 的线段会是它的一条对角线。另外两个点各自给出一条总长为 的两边路径,连接该对角线的两个端点。三角不等式取等号会迫使两个中间点都成为这条对角线的中点,与四点互异矛盾。因此有三个点构成边长为 的等边三角形,记为 。
第四个点 到其中一点(设为 )的距离为 ,到另一点(设为 )的距离为 。由于 ,点 共线,且 是 的中点。因此 是过 、圆心为 的圆的直径,所以 是直角三角形。
于是 ,所以 。
所以正确答案是 A。
Regard the four length- segments as edges of a graph on the four points. If they contained no triangle, they would form a -cycle. The length- segment would then be one of its diagonals. Each of the other two points gives a two-edge path of total length between the diagonal’s endpoints. Equality in the triangle inequality would force both intermediate points to be the midpoint of that diagonal, contradicting that the four points are distinct. Therefore three points do form an equilateral triangle of side call them
The fourth point is distance from one of these points, say and distance from another, say Because the points are collinear and is the midpoint of Thus is a diameter of the circle through centered at so is right.
Thus , so .
Thus, A is the correct answer.

Let be a list of the first positive integers such that for each either or or both appear somewhere before in the list. How many such lists are there?
小提示:
反向构造时,每一步移除当前剩余数中的最小值或最大值。
At each reverse step, remove either the smallest or largest remaining number
大提示:
直到最后一个数被迫确定之前,每一步都有 种选择。
There are choices until the final number is forced
解答:
每个前缀 都必须构成一个连续整数区间,因为每个新加入的数必须比已出现的某个数大一或小一。特别地,完整集合就是区间 。
反向阅读这个排列。每一步删去的项必须是当前区间的最小值或最大值;若删去内部的数,那么正向排列中该数前面就没有与它相邻的整数。反之,每一种依次删去端点的方式都能产生一个合格排列。对 中的每一项都有两种选择,之后 被唯一确定,所以总数为 。
所以正确答案是 B。
Every prefix must form an interval of consecutive integers: each new term is required to be one more or one less than a term already present. In particular, the full set is the interval
Read the list backward. At each step, the term removed must be either the smallest or the largest integer in the current interval; removing an interior term would leave that term with no adjacent predecessor in the forward list. Conversely, every sequence of endpoint removals produces a valid list. There are two choices for each of after which is forced. Hence there are lists.
Thus, the correct answer is B .

情况 :三对女孩各自恰好有一首只被这对喜欢的歌。
给第一对选歌有 种,第二对有 种,第三对有 种;剩下的歌可以被 人中的恰好一人喜欢或无人喜欢。因此这一类有
情况 :某一对女孩共同喜欢 首歌。
选共同喜欢两首歌的那一对有 种;从四首歌中选出这对喜欢的 首有 种;再把剩下两首分配给另外两对,有 种。因此这一类有
总数为 。
所以正确答案是 B。
There are two cases: Each pair has exactly one liked song in common, or some pair has liked songs in common. This is because each pair must have at least liked song in common, and any more pairs than in the cases would result in songs.
Case Each pair has exactly one liked song in common
There are ways to choose the song that one pair likes, ways to choose the song that the second pair likes, and ways to choose the song the third pair likes if we choose some order for them. Then, for the last song, one of them could like it which has cases or none of them likes it which is another case. Thus, the number of solutions in this case is
Case Some pair has liked songs in common
There are ways to choose the pair that has liked songs in common. Then, there are ways to choose which two songs they like. Finally, there are ways to assign the two remaining songs to the other two pairs. Thus, the number of solutions in this case is
The total amount is then
Thus, the correct answer is B .

A bug travels from to along the segments in the hexagonal lattice pictured below. The segments marked with an arrow can be traveled only in the direction of the arrow, and the bug never travels the same segment more than once. How many different paths are there?
小提示:
按路径使用了哪些反向箭头分类。
Classify paths by which backward arrows they use
大提示:
不使用反向箭头时,各列选择数为 。
The no-backward-arrow case has choices by column
解答:
按路径使用的反向箭头集合 分类。若 ,路径由每一列选择一条前进边确定,共 条。
若 只含一个外侧反向箭头,每种外侧选择有 条;若含两个外侧反向箭头但不含中间箭头,有 条。
若 只含中间反向箭头,有 条;若含中间箭头和恰好一个外侧反向箭头,对每一种外侧箭头的选择都有 条;若三个反向箭头都使用,有 条。
总数为 。
所以正确答案是 E。
Classify a path by the set of backward arrows it uses. If , the path is determined by choosing one forward arrow in each column, giving paths.
If uses only the left backward arrow, there are paths, and by symmetry the same for only the right backward arrow. If it uses both outer backward arrows but not the middle one, there are paths.
If uses only the middle backward arrow, there are paths. If it uses the middle arrow and exactly one outer backward arrow, there are paths for each choice of outer arrow. If it uses all three backward arrows, there are paths.
The total is .
Thus, E is the correct answer.
