$10$ real numbers are given $a_1,a_2,\ldots ,a_{10} $, and the $45$ sums of two of these numbers are formed $a_i+a_j $, $1\leq i<j\leq 10$ . It is known that not all these sums are integers. Determine the minimum value of $k$ such that it is possible that among the $45$ sums there are $k$ that are not integers and $45-k$ that are integers.

Four drivers took part in the round-robin racing. Their cars started simultaneously from one point and moved at constant speeds. It is known that after the start of the race, for any three cars there was a moment when they met. Prove that after the start of the race there will be a moment when all 4 cars meet. (We consider races to be infinitely long in time.)

Let $O$ be a point inside an acute angle with the vertex $A$ and $H, N$ be the feet of the perpendiculars drawn from $O$ onto the sides of the angle. Let point $B$ belong to the bisector of the angle, $K$ be the foot of the perpendicular from $B$ onto either side of the angle. Denote by $P,F$ the midpoints of the segments $AK,HN$ respectively. Known that $ON + OH = BK$, prove that $PF$ is perpendicular to $AB$.

Suppose we have ten coins with radii $1, 2, 3, \ldots , 10$ cm. We can put two of them on the table in such a way that they touch each other, after that we can add the coins in such a way that each new coin touches at least two of previous ones. The new coin cannot cover a previous one. Can we put several coins in such a way that the centers of some three coins are collinear?
