A round-robin tournament is one where each team plays every other team exactly once. Five teams take part in such a tournament getting: $3$ points for a win, $1$ point for a draw and $0$ points for a loss. At the end of the tournament the teams are ranked from first to last according to the number of points. (a) Is it possible that at the end of the tournament, each team has a different number of points, and each team except for the team ranked last has exactly two more points than the next-ranked team? (b) Is this possible if there are six teams in the tournament instead?

Given an integer $h > 1$. Let's call a positive common fraction (not necessarily irreducible) [i]good[/i] if the sum of its numerator and denominator is equal to $h$. Let's say that a number $h$ is [i]remarkable[/i] if every positive common fraction whose denominator is less than $h$ can be expressed in terms of good fractions (not necessarily various) using the operations of addition and subtraction. Prove that $h$ is remarkable if and only if it is prime. (Recall that an common fraction has an integer numerator and a natural denominator.)

[b]Venusian [/b]: Me too. [b]Martian [/b]: But Venusian and I have spend much more time here than you, Human. [b]Human [/b]: That is true. However, Venusian and I are of the same age. [b]Venusian [/b]: Yes, I have lived $300$ Earth years. [b]Martian [/b]: Venusian and I have been on Pluton for the past $13$ years. It is known that Human and Martian together have lived $104$ Earth years.
