Subject:  Ling Contest for Bulgarian High School Students

A nationwide competition in linguistics for high school students
took place in Ruse on Sat 28 April.  There were 21 contestants,
forming 7 teams of 3 students each.

Two different contests were held at the event: an individual one,
at which every student had to solve a set of three problems alone,
and a team one, at which they worked on a similar test in triplets,
applying a team strategy of their choice.

Each problem required the contestants to analyse linguistic data,
take notice of the relevant facts and answer questions or do some
translating or pairing up.  The problems at the individual contest
involved Lithuanian--Bulgarian etymological correspondences,
the names and promotion patterns of some of the men in the world's
largest chess variant and the Yoruba number system.  The problems
at the team contest were on Maori personal pronouns and sentence
structure, Chukchi vowel harmony and something I would describe
as alphabetical ordering with an attitude.

The problems with my solutions (in English) are yours for the asking.
Be sure to indicate whether you prefer PostScript, PDF or PaPeR.
(The Bulgarian text is also available, in Rich Text Format.)

All questions, comments, etc. etc. are more than welcome.
