Petya has $10, 000$ balls, among them there are no two balls of equal weight. He also has a device, which works as follows: if he puts exactly $10$ balls on it, it will report the sum of the weights of some two of them (but he doesn't know which ones). Prove that Petya can use the device a few times so that after a while he will be able to choose one of the balls and accurately tell its weight.

Let $P$ and $Q$ be points on line $\ell$ with $PQ = 12$. Two circles, $\omega$ and $\Omega$, are both tangent to $\ell$ at $P$ and are externally tangent to each other.

2004 Tournament Of Towns, 2
Two persons are playing the following game. They have a pile of stones and take turns removing stones from it, with the first player taking the first turn. At each turn, the first player removes either 1 or 10 stones from the pile, and the second player removes either m or n stones. The player who can not make his move loses. It is known that for any number of stones in the pile, the first player can always win (regardless of the second player's moves). What are the possible values of m and n?
