A [i]slip[/i] on an integer $n\geq 2$ is an operation that consists in choosing a prime divisor $p$ of $n$ and replacing $n$ by $\frac{n+p^2}{p}.$ Starting with an arbitrary integer $n\geq 5$, we successively apply the slip operation on it. Show that one eventually reaches $5$, no matter the slips applied.

Let $n \geq 1$ be an integer. Ruben takes a test with $n$ questions. Each question on this test is worth a different number of points. The first question is worth $1$ point, the second question $2$, the third $3$ and so on until the last question which is worth $n$ points. Each question can be answered either correctly or incorrectly. So an answer for a question can either be awarded all, or none of the points the question is worth. Let $f(n)$ be the number of ways he can take the test so that the number of points awarded equals the number of questions he answered incorrectly. Do there exist infinitely many pairs $(a; b)$ with $a < b$ and $f(a) = f(b)$?
