Find the smallest natural number $n$ such that the sum of the measures of the angles of the $n$-gon, with $n > 6$ is less than $n^2$ degrees. p5. There are a few magic cards. By stating on which card a number is there, without looking at the card at all, someone can precisely guess the number. If the number is on Card $A$ and $B$, then the number in question is $1 + 2$ (sum of corner number top left) cards $A$ and $B$. If the numbers are in $A$, $B$, and $C$, the number what is meant is $1 + 2 + 4$ or equal to $7$ (which is obtained by adding the numbers in the upper left corner of each card $A$,$B$, and $C$). [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/e/5/9e80d4f3bba36a999c819c28c417792fbeff18.png[/img] a. How can this be explained? b. Suppose we are going to make cards containing numbers from $1$ to with $15$ based on the rules above. Try making the cards. [hide=original wording for p5, as the wording isn't that clear]Ada suatu kartu ajaib. Dengan menyebutkan di kartu yang mana suatu bilan gan berada, tanpa melihat kartu sama sekali, seseorang dengan tepat bisa menebak bilangan yang dimaksud. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada pada Kartu A dan B, maka bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 (jumlah bilangan pojok kiri atas) kartu A dan B. Kalau bilangan tersebut ada di A, B, dan C, bilangan yang dimaksud adalah 1 + 2 + 4 atau sama dengan 7 (yang diperoleh dengan menambahkan bilangan-bilangan di pojok kiri atas masing-masing kartu A, B, dan C) a. Bagaimana hal ini bisa dijelaskan? b. Andai kita akan membuat kartu-kartu yang memuat bilangan dari 1 sampai dengan 15 berdasarkan aturan di atas. Coba buatkan kartu-kartunya[/hide]

Let a ,b and c be positive real numbers such that $a^2+b^2+c^2=3$. Prove that for whatever positive real numbers x y and z, the inequality below holds. $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge \sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}$ At first I noticed $\sqrt{xy}+\sqrt{yz}+\sqrt{zx}\le \sqrt{x+y+z}\sqrt{x+y+z}=x+y+z$, so perhaps the next move is to prove $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge x+y+z$, but I don't see how to do that, the best thing that I can do with the LHS of this inequality is to prove it by AM-GM in the way that $\frac{x}{a}+\frac{y}{b}+\frac{z}{c}\ge 3\left(\frac{xyz}{abc}\right)^{\frac{1}{3}}\ge 3(xyz)^{\frac{1}{3}}$, but this isn't going to be helpful...
