Let ${\mathcal A}$ be a ${C^{\ast}}$ algebra with a unit element and let ${\mathcal A_+}$ be the cone of the positive elements of ${\mathcal A}$ (this is the set of such self adjoint elements in ${\mathcal A}$ whose spectrum is in ${[0,\infty)}$. Consider the operation \[ \displaystyle x \circ y =\sqrt{x}y\sqrt{x},\ x,y \in \mathcal A_+\] Prove that if for all ${x,y \in \mathcal A_+}$ we have \[ \displaystyle (x\circ y)\circ y = x \circ (y \circ y), \] then ${\mathcal A}$ is commutative.

Pictures are taken of $100$ adults and $100$ children, with one adult and one child in each, the adult being the taller of the two. Each picture is reduced to $\frac 1k$ of its original size, where $k$ is a positive integer which may vary from picture to picture. Prove that it is possible to have the reduced image of each adult taller than the reduced image of every child.

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.
