“What about monkeys?”

“Yes, there were seven times less monkeys than non-monkeys.”

“Where there any lions?”

What is the answer he gave to this last question?

The graph of the function \(y=kx+b\) is shown on the diagram below. Compare \(|k|\) and \(|b|\).

Compare the numbers: \(A=2011\times 20122012\times 201320132013\) and \(B= 2013\times 20112011 \times 201220122012\).

The board has the form of a cross, which is obtained if corner boxes of a square board of \(4 \times 4\) are erased. Is it possible to go around it with the help of the knight chess piece and return to the original cell, having visited all the cells exactly once?

Construct a triangle with the side \(c\), median to side \(a\), \(m_a\), and median to side \(b\), \(m_b\).

Inside an angle two points, \(A\) and \(B\), are given. Construct a circle which passes through these points and cuts the sides of the angle into equal segments.
