Consider the set $A$ containing all positive integers whose decimal expansion contains no $0$, and whose sum $S(N)$ of the digits divides $N$. (a) Prove that there exist infinitely many elements in $A$ whose decimal expansion contains each digit the same number of times as each other digit. (b) Explain that for each positive integer $k$ there exist an element in $A$ having exactly $k$ digits.

A digital calendar displays the date: day, month, and year, with $2$ digits for the day, $2$ digits for the month, and $2$ digits for the year. For example, $01-01-01$ is January $1$, $2001$ and $05-25-23$ is May $25$, $2023$. In front of the calendar is a mirror. The digits of the calendar are as in the figure [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/c/5/a08a4e34071fff4d33b95b23690254f55b33e1.gif[/img] If $0, 1, 2, 5$, and $8$ are reflected, respectively, in $0, 1, 5, 2$, and $8$, and the other digits lose meaning when reflected, determine how many days of the century, when reflected in the mirror, also correspond to a date.

Alka finds a number $n$ written on a board that ends in $5.$ She performs a sequence of operations with the number on the board. At each step, she decides to carry out one of the following two operations: $1.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write it´s cube $m^3$. $2.$ Erase the written number $m$ and write the product $2023m$. Alka performs each operation an even number of times in some order and at least once, she finally obtains the number $r$. If the tens digit of $r$ is an odd number, find all possible values that the tens digit of $n^3$ could have had.

A [i]figuric [/i] is a convex polyhedron with $26^{5^{2019}}$ faces. On every face of a figuric we write down a number. When we throw two figurics (who don't necessarily have the same set of numbers on their sides) into the air, the figuric which falls on a side with the greater number wins; if this number is equal for both figurics, we repeat this process until we obtain a winner. Assume that a figuric has an equal probability of falling on any face. We say that one figuric rules over another if when throwing these figurics into the air, it has a strictly greater probability to win than the other figuric (it can be possible that given two figurics, no figuric rules over the other). Milisav and Milojka both have a blank figuric. Milisav writes some (not necessarily distinct) positive integers on the faces of his figuric so that they sum up to $27^{5^{2019}}$. After this, Milojka also writes positive integers on the faces of her figuric so that they sum up to $27^{5^{2019}}$. Is it always possible for Milojka to create a figuric that rules over Milisav's?
