2023 SAFEST Olympiad, 2

There are $n!$ empty baskets in a row, labelled $1, 2, . . . , n!$. Caesar first puts a stone in every basket. Caesar then puts 2 stones in every second basket. Caesar continues similarly until he has put $n$ stones into every nth basket. In other words, for each $i = 1, 2, . . . , n,$ Caesar puts $i$ stones into the baskets labelled $i, 2i, 3i, . . . , n!.$ Let $x_i$ be the number of stones in basket $i$ after all these steps. Show that $n! \cdot n^2 \leq \sum_{i=1}^{n!} x_i^2 \leq n! \cdot n^2 \cdot \sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{1}{i} $

In the space are given $2006$ distinct points, such that no $4$ of them are coplanar. One draws a segment between each pair of points. A natural number $m$ is called [i]good[/i] if one can put on each of these segments a positive integer not larger than $m$, so that every triangle whose three vertices are among the given points has the property that two of this triangle's sides have equal numbers put on, while the third has a larger number put on. Find the minimum value of a [i]good[/i] number $m$.

2009 IMO Shortlist, 5

Five identical empty buckets of $2$-liter capacity stand at the vertices of a regular pentagon. Cinderella and her wicked Stepmother go through a sequence of rounds: At the beginning of every round, the Stepmother takes one liter of water from the nearby river and distributes it arbitrarily over the five buckets. Then Cinderella chooses a pair of neighbouring buckets, empties them to the river and puts them back. Then the next round begins. The Stepmother goal's is to make one of these buckets overflow. Cinderella's goal is to prevent this. Can the wicked Stepmother enforce a bucket overflow? [i]Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Netherlands[/i]
