Let $n\ge 2$ be an integer. $a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_n$ are arbitrarily chosen positive integers with $(a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_n)=1$. Let $A=a_1+a_2+\dotsb+a_n$ and $(A,a_i)=d_i$. Let $(a_2,a_3,\dotsc,a_n)=D_1, (a_1,a_3,\dotsc,a_n)=D_2,\dotsc, (a_1,a_2,\dotsc,a_{n-1})=D_n$.

Juku has the first $100$ volumes of the Harrie Totter book series at his home. For every$ i$ and $j$, where $1 \le i < j \le 100$, call the pair $(i, j)$ reversed if volume No. $j$ is before volume No, $i$ on Juku’s shelf. Juku wants to arrange all volumes of the series to one row on his shelf in such a way that there does not exist numbers $i, j, k$, where $1 \le i < j < k \le 100$, such that pairs $(i, j)$ and $(j, k)$ are both reversed. Find the largest number of reversed pairs that can occur under this condition
Let $x, y, z$ be positive real numbers. Prove that $\frac{y^2 + z^2}{x}+\frac{z^2 + x^2}{y}+\frac{x^2 + y^2}{z}\ge 2(x + y + z)$.
Let $N$ be a positive integer. Kingdom Wierdo has $N$ castles, with at most one road between each pair of cities. There are at most four guards on each road. To cost down, the King of Wierdos makes the following policy:
(1) For any three castles, if there are roads between any two of them, then any of these roads cannot have four guards.
(2) For any four castles, if there are roads between any two of them, then for any one castle among them, the roads from it toward the other three castles cannot all have three guards.
Prove that, under this policy, the total number of guards on roads in Kingdom Wierdo is smaller than or equal to $N^2$.
[i]Remark[/i]: Proving that the number of guards does not exceed $cN^2$ for some $c > 1$ independent of $N$ will be scored based on the value of $c$.
