For each positive integer $n$, let $c(n)$ be the number of digits of $n$. Let $A$ be a set of positive integers with the following property: If $a$ and $b$ are two distinct elements in $A$, then $c(a +b)+2 > c(a)+c(b)$. Find the largest number of elements that $A$ can have. PS. In the original wording: c(n) = ''cantidad de dıgitos''

The number $1234567890$ is written on the blackboard. Two players $A$ and $B$ play the following game taking alternate moves. In one move, a player erases the number which is written on the blackboard, say, $m$, subtracts from $m$ any positive integer not exceeding the sum of the digits of $m$ and writes the obtained result instead of $m$. The first player who reduces the number written on the blackboard to $0$ wins. Determine which of the players has the winning strategy if the player $A$ makes the first move.

Given a positive integer $N$, define $u(N)$ as the number obtained by making the ones digit the left-most digit of $N$, that is, taking the last, right-most digit (the ones digit) and moving it leftwards through the digits of $N$ until it becomes the first (left-most) digit; for example, $u(2023) = 3202$. [b](1)[/b] Find a $6$-digit positive integer $N$ such that \[\frac{u(N)}{N} = \frac{23}{35}.\] [b](2)[/b] Prove that there is no positive integer $N$ with less than $6$ digits such that \[\frac{u(N)}{N} = \frac{23}{35}.\]

Define [i]glueing[/i] of positive integers as writing their base ten representations one after another and interpreting the result as the base ten representation of a single positive integer. Find all positive integers $k$ for which there exists an integer $N_k$ with the following property: for all $n \ge N_k$, we can glue the numbers $1,2,\dots,n$ in some order so that the result is a number divisible by $k$. [i]Remark[/i]. The base ten representation of a positive integer never starts with zero. [i]Example[/i]. Glueing $15, 14, 7$ in this order makes $15147$.
