Andryusha has $100$ stones of different weight and he can distinguish the stones by appearance, but does not know their weight. Every evening, Andryusha can put exactly $10$ stones on the table and at night the brownie will order them in increasing weight. But, if the drum also lives in the house then surely he will in the morning change the places of some $2$ stones.Andryusha knows all about this but does not know if there is a drum in his house. Can he find out?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Suppose that we have disks of radii $1, 2, . . . , n.$ Of each size there are two disks: a transparent one and an opaque one. In every disk there is a small hole in the centre, with which we can stack the
disks using a vertical stick. We want to make stacks of disks that satisfy the following conditions:
$i)$ Of each size exactly one disk lies in the stack.
$ii)$ If we look at the stack from directly above, we can see the edges of all of the $n$ disks in the stack. (So if there is an opaque disk in the stack,no smaller disks may lie beneath it.)
Determine the number of distinct stacks of disks satisfying these conditions.
(Two stacks are distinct if they do not use the same set of disks, or, if they do use the same set of disks and the orders in which the disks occur are different.)

There is the tournament for boys and girls. Every person played exactly one match with every other person, there were no draws. It turned out that every person had lost at least one game. Furthermore every boy lost different number of matches that every other boy. Prove that there is a girl, who won a match with at least one boy.

For $n$ an odd positive integer, the unit squares of an $n\times n$ chessboard are coloured alternately black and white, with the four corners coloured black. A it tromino is an $L$-shape formed by three connected unit squares. For which values of $n$ is it possible to cover all the black squares with non-overlapping trominos? When it is possible, what is the minimum number of trominos needed?

Mariana plays with an $8\times 8$ board with all its squares blank. She says that two houses are [i]neighbors [/i] if they have a common side or vertex, that is, two houses can be neighbors vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The game consists of filling the $64$ squares on the board, one after the other, each with a number according to the following rule: she always chooses a house blank and fill it with an integer equal to the number of neighboring houses that are still in White. Once this is done, the house is no longer considered blank.
Show that the value of the sum of all $64$ numbers written on the board at the end of the game does not depend in the order of filling. Also, calculate the value of this sum.
Note: A house is not neighbor to itself.
