In a concert, 20 singers will perform. For each singer, there is a (possibly empty) set of other singers such that he wishes to perform later than all the singers from that set. Can it happen that there are exactly 2010 orders of the singers such that all their wishes are satisfied? [i]Proposed by Gerhard Wöginger, Austria[/i]

A checkerboard of $ 13$ rows and $ 17$ columns has a number written in each square, beginning in the upper left corner, so that the first row is numbered $ 1, 2, \ldots , 17$, the second row $ 18, 19, \ldots , 34$, and so on down the board. If the board is renumbered so that the left column, top to bottom, is $ 1, 2, \ldots , 13$, the second column $ 14, 15, \ldots , 26$ and so on across the board, some squares have the same numbers in both numbering systems. Find the sum of the numbers in these squares (under either system). $ \textbf{(A)}\ 222 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 333 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 444 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 555 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 666$

Let \( n, k \geq 1 \). In a school, there are \( n \) students and \( k \) clubs. Each student participates in at least one of the clubs. One day, a school uniform was established, which could be either blue or red. Each student chose only one of these colors. Every day, the principal visited one of the clubs, forcing all the students in it to switch the colors of the uniforms they wore. Assuming that the students are distributed in clubs in such a way that any initial choice of uniforms they make, after a certain number of days, it is possible to have at most one student with one of the colors. Show that \[ n \geq 2^{n-k-1} - 1. \]
