We consider friendly sets in which each of the squares has sides of length $n$. Determine the largest possible number of squares in such a friendly set.

Let $ABCD$ be a unit square. For any interior points $M,N$ such that the line $MN$ does not contain a vertex of the square, we denote by $s(M,N)$ the least area of the triangles having their vertices in the set of points $\{ A,B,C,D,M,N\}$.

A set of $61$ coins that look alike is given. Two coins (whose weights are equal) are counterfeit. The other $59$ (genuine) coins also have the same weight, but a different weight from that of the counterfeit coins. However it is not known whether it is the genuine coins or the counterfeit coins which are heavier. How can this question be resolved by three weighings on the one balance? (It is not required to separate the counterfeit coins from the genuine ones.) (D. Fomin, Leningrad)

[b]6.[/b] For a prime factorisation of a positive integer $N$ let us call the exponent of a prime $p$ the integer $k$ for which $p^{k} \mid N$ but $p^{k+1} \nmid N$; let, further, the power $p^{k}$ be called the "contribution" of $p$ to $N$. Show that for any positive integer $n$ and for any primes $p$ and $q$ the contibution of $p$ to $n!$ is greater than the contribution of $q$ if and only if the exponent of $p$ is greater than that of $q$.

Suppose that in a certain society, each pair of persons can be classified as either [i]amicable [/i]or [i]hostile[/i]. We shall say that each member of an amicable pair is a [i]friend[/i] of the other, and each member of a hostile pair is a [i]foe[/i] of the other. Suppose that the society has $\, n \,$ persons and $\, q \,$ amicable pairs, and that for every set of three persons, at least one pair is hostile. Prove that there is at least one member of the society whose foes include $\, q(1 - 4q/n^2) \,$ or fewer amicable pairs.
