In a volleyball tournament teams play each other once. A win gives the team 1 point, a loss 0 points. It is known that at one point in the tournament all of the teams had different numbers of points. How many points did the team in second last place have at the end of the tournament, and what was the result of its match against the eventually winning team?
Prove that amongst any 11 different decimal fractions of infinite length, there will be two whose digits in the same column – 10ths, 100s, 1000s, etc – coincide (are the same) an infinite number of times.
The number of permutations of a set of \(n\) elements is denoted by \(P_n\).
Prove the equality \(P_n = n!\).
How many six-digit numbers exist, for which each succeeding number is smaller than the previous one?
Why are the equalities \(11^2 = 121\) and \(11^3 = 1331\) similar to the lines of Pascal’s triangle? What is \(11^4\) equal to?
How many four-digit numbers can be made using the numbers 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5, if:
