Do you think that among the four consecutive natural numbers there will be at least one that is divisible a) by 2? b) by 3? c) by 4? d) by 5?
Six sacks of gold coins were found on a sunken ship of the fourteenth century. In the first four bags, there were 60, 30, 20 and 15 gold coins. When the coins were counted in the remaining two bags, someone noticed that the number of coins in the bags has a certain sequence. Having taken this into consideration, could you say how many coins are in the fifth and sixth bags?
Can the equality \(K \times O \times T = U \times W \times E \times N \times H \times Y\) be true if the numbers from 1 to 9 are substituted for the letters? Different letters correspond to different numbers.
Which five-digit numbers are there more of: ones that are not divisible by 5 or those with neither the first nor the second digit on the left being a five?
The sequence of numbers \(a_1, a_2, \dots\) is given by the conditions \(a_1 = 1\), \(a_2 = 143\) and
for all \(n \geq 2\).
Prove that all members of the sequence are integers.
You are given 11 different natural numbers that are less than or equal to 20. Prove that it is always possible to choose two numbers where one is divisible by the other.
Can there be exactly 100 roads in a state in which three roads leave each city?
Let \(p\) be a prime number, and \(a\) an integer number not divisible by \(p\). Prove that there is a positive integer \(b\) such that \(ab \equiv 1 \pmod p\).

A professional tennis player plays at least one match each day for training purposes. However in order to ensure he does not over-exert himself he plays no more than 12 matches a week. Prove that it is possible to find a group of consecutive days during which the player plays a total of 20 matches.
