Five guys join five girls for a night of bridge. Bridge games are always played by a team of two guys against a team of two girls. The guys and girls want to make sure that every guy and girl play against each other an equal number of times. Given that at least one game is played, what is the least number of games necessary to accomplish this?

For each positive integer $n$, denote by $\omega(n)$ the number of distinct prime divisors of $n$ (for example, $\omega(1)=0$ and $\omega(12)=2$). Find all polynomials $P(x)$ with integer coefficients, such that whenever $n$ is a positive integer satisfying $\omega(n)>2023^{2023}$, then $P(n)$ is also a positive integer with \[\omega(n)\ge\omega(P(n)).\] Greece (Minos Margaritis - Iasonas Prodromidis)

For integers $n \ge k \ge 0$ we define the [i]bibinomial coefficient[/i] $\left( \binom{n}{k} \right)$ by \[ \left( \binom{n}{k} \right) = \frac{n!!}{k!!(n-k)!!} .\] Determine all pairs $(n,k)$ of integers with $n \ge k \ge 0$ such that the corresponding bibinomial coefficient is an integer. [i]Remark: The double factorial $n!!$ is defined to be the product of all even positive integers up to $n$ if $n$ is even and the product of all odd positive integers up to $n$ if $n$ is odd. So e.g. $0!! = 1$, $4!! = 2 \cdot 4 = 8$, and $7!! = 1 \cdot 3 \cdot 5 \cdot 7 = 105$.[/i]

Let $m, n$ be positive integers. Consider a sequence of positive integers $a_1, a_2, ... , a_n$ that satisfies $m = a_1 \ge a_2\ge ... \ge a_n \ge 1$. Then define, for $1\le  i\le  m$, $b_i =$ # $\{ j \in \{1, 2, ... , n\}: a_j \ge i\}$, so $b_i$ is the number of terms $a_j $ of the given sequence for which $a_j  \ge i$. Similarly, we define, for $1\le   j \le  n$, $c_j=$ # $\{ i \in \{1, 2, ... , m\}: b_i \ge j\}$ , thus $c_j$ is the number of terms bi in the given sequence for which $b_i \ge j$. E.g.: If $a$ is the sequence $5, 3, 3, 2, 1, 1$ then $b$ is the sequence $6, 4, 3, 1, 1$. (a) Prove that $a_j = c_j $ for $1  \le j  \le n$. (b) Prove that for $1\le  k \le m$: $\sum_{i=1}^{k} b_i = k \cdot b_k + \sum_{j=b_{k+1}}^{n} a_j$.

Every nonnegative periodic decimal fraction represents a rational number, also in the form $\frac{p}{q}$ can be represented ($p$ and $q$ are natural numbers and coprime, $p\ge 0$, $q > 0)$. Now let $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$ and $a_4$ be digits to represent numbers in the decadic system.
