[b]p1.[/b] Twenty five horses participate in a competition. The competition consists of seven runs, five horse compete in each run. Each horse shows the same result in any run it takes part. No two horses will give the same result. After each run you can decide what horses participate in the next run. Could you determine the three fastest horses? (You don’t have stopwatch. You can only remember the order of the horses.) [b]p2.[/b] Prove that the equation $x^6-143x^5-917x^4+51x^3+77x^2+291x+1575=0$ does not have solutions in integer numbers.
