Vera has several identical matches, from which she makes a triangle. Vera wants any two sides of this triangle to differ in length by at least $10$ matches, but it turned out that it is impossible to add such a triangle from the available matches (it is impossible to leave extra matches). What is the maximum number of matches Vera can have?

Omkar, Krit1, Krit2, and Krit3 are sharing $x > 0$ pints of soup for dinner. Omkar always takes $1$ pint of soup (unless the amount left is less than one pint, in which case he simply takes all the remaining soup). Krit1 always takes $\frac16$ of what is left, Krit2 always takes $\frac15$ of what is left, and Krit3 always takes $\frac14$ of what is left. They take soup in the order of Omkar, Krit1, Krit2, Krit3, and then cycle through this order until no soup remains. Find all $x$ for which everyone gets the same amount of soup.

Let $K$ and $L$ be positive integers. On a board consisting of $2K \times 2L$ unit squares an ant starts in the lower left corner square and walks to the upper right corner square. In each step it goes horizontally or vertically to a neighbouring square. It never visits a square twice. At the end some squares may remain unvisited.
In some cases the collection of all unvisited squares forms a single rectangle. In such cases, we call this rectangle [i]MEMOrable[/i].
Determine the number of different MEMOrable rectangles.
[i]Remark: Rectangles are different unless they consist of exactly the same squares.[/i]

The table below displays some of the results of last summer's Frostbite Falls Fishing Festival, showing how many contestants caught $n$ fish for various values of $n$.
\[ \begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline n & 0 & 1 & 2 & 3 & \dots & 13 & 14 & 15 \\ \hline \text{number of contestants who caught} \ n \ \text{fish} & 9 & 5 & 7 & 23 & \dots & 5 & 2 & 1 \\ \hline \end{array} \]
In the newspaper story covering the event, it was reported that
(a) the winner caught 15 fish;
(b) those who caught 3 or more fish averaged 6 fish each;
(c) those who caught 12 or fewer fish averaged 5 fish each.
What was the total number of fish caught during the festival?

A dance with 2018 couples takes place in Havana. For the dance, 2018 distinct points labeled $0, 1,\ldots, 2017$ are marked in a circumference and each couple is placed on a different point. For $i\geq1$, let $s_i=i\ (\textrm{mod}\ 2018)$ and $r_i=2i\ (\textrm{mod}\ 2018)$. The dance begins at minute $0$. On the $i$-th minute, the couple at point $s_i$ (if there's any) moves to point $r_i$, the couple on point $r_i$ (if there's any) drops out, and the dance continues with the remaining couples. The dance ends after $2018^2$ minutes. Determine how many couples remain at the end.
Note: If $r_i=s_i$, the couple on $s_i$ stays there and does not drop out.
