In a group of friends, each two people have exactly five common acquaintances. Prove that the number of pairs of friends is divisible by 3.
Prove that the equation \[a_1 \sin x + b_1 \cos x + a_2 \sin 2x + b_2 \cos 2x + \dots + a_n \sin nx + b_n \cos nx = 0\] has at least one root for any values of \(a_1 , b_1, a_2, b_2, \dots, a_n, b_n\).
At a round table, 10 boys and 15 girls were seated. It turned out that there are exactly 5 pairs of boys sitting next to each other.
How many pairs of girls are sitting next to each other?
Of 11 balls, 2 are radioactive. For any set of balls in one check, you can find out if there is at least one radioactive ball in it (but you cannot tell how many of them are radioactive). Is it possible to find both radioactive balls in 7 checks?
Solve the equation \(2x^x = \sqrt {2}\) for positive numbers.
Find the first 99 decimal places in the number expansion of \((\sqrt{26} + 5)^{99}\).
Let \(M\) be a finite set of numbers. It is known that among any three of its elements there are two, the sum of which belongs to \(M\).
What is the largest number of elements in \(M\)?
Someone arranged a 10-volume collection of works in an arbitrary order. We call a “disturbance” a situation where there are two volumes for which a volume with a large number is located to the left. For this volume arrangement, we call the number \(S\) the number of all of the disturbances. What values can \(S\) take?
A convex figure and point \(A\) inside it are given. Prove that there is a chord (that is, a segment joining two boundary points of a convex figure) passing through point \(A\) and dividing it in half at point \(A\).
There are 18 sweets in one piles, and 23 in another. Two play a game: in one go one can eat one pile of sweets, and the other can be divided into two piles. The loser is one who cannot make a move, i.e. before this player’s turn there are two piles of sweets with one sweet in each. Who wins with a regular game?
