Ten people wanted to found a club. To do this, they need to collect a certain amount of entrance fees. If the organizers were five people more, then each of them would have to pay £100 less. How much money did each one pay?

Teams A, B, C, D and E participated in a relay. Before the competition, five fans expressed the following forecasts.

1) team E will take 1st place, team C – 2nd;

2) team A will take 2nd place, D – 4th;

3) C – 3rd place, E – 5th;

4) C – 1st place, D – 4th;

5) A – 2nd place, C – 3rd.

In each forecast, one part was confirmed, and the other was not. What place did each team take?

In the race of six athletes, Andrew lagged behind Brian and two more athletes. Victor finished after Dennis, but before George. Dennis beat Brian, but still came after Eustace. What place did each athlete take?

Replace the letters in the word \(TRANSPORTIROVKA\) by numbers (different letters correspond to different numbers, but the same letters correspond to identical numbers) so that the inequality \(T > R > A > N < P <O < R < T > I > R > O < V < K < A\).

Restore the numbers. Restore the digits in the following example by dividing as is shown in the image

Decipher the numerical puzzle system \[\left\{\begin{aligned} & MA \times MA = MIR \\ & AM \times AM = RIM \end{aligned}\right.\] (different letters correspond to different numbers, and identical letters correspond to the same numbers).

The tower clock chimes three times in 12 seconds. How long will six chimes last?

The smell of a flowering lavender plant diffuses through a radius of 20 m around it. How many lavender plants must be planted along a straight 400m path so that the smell of the lavender reaches every point on the path.

Given an endless piece of chequered paper with a cell side equal to one. The distance between two cells is the length of the shortest path parallel to cell lines from one cell to the other (it is considered the path of the center of a rook). What is the smallest number of colors to paint the board (each cell is painted with one color), so that two cells, located at a distance of 6, are always painted with different colors?

A group of numbers \(A_1, A_2, \dots , A_{100}\) is created by somehow re-arranging the numbers \(1, 2, \dots , 100\).

100 numbers are created as follows: \[B_1=A_1,\ B_2=A_1+A_2,\ B_3=A_1+A_2+A_3,\ \dots ,\ B_{100} = A_1+A_2+A_3\dots +A_{100}.\]

Prove that there will always be at least 11 different remainders when dividing the numbers \(B_1, B_2, \dots , B_{100}\) by 100.
