For a finite set $A$ of positive integers, a partition of $A$ into two disjoint nonempty subsets $A_1$ and $A_2$ is $\textit{good}$ if the least common multiple of the elements in $A_1$ is equal to the greatest common divisor of the elements in $A_2$. Determine the minimum value of $n$ such that there exists a set of $n$ positive integers with exactly $2016$ good partitions. PS.

2006 May Olympiad, 5

With $28$ points, a “triangular grid” of equal sides is formed, as shown in the figure. One operation consists of choosing three points that are the vertices of an equilateral triangle and removing these three points from the grid. If after performing several of these operations there is only one point left, in what positions can that point remain? Give all the possibilities and indicate in each case the operations carried out. Justify why the remaining point cannot be in another position. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/f/c/1cedfe0e1c5086b77151538265f8e253e93d2e.gif[/img]

2025 All-Russian Olympiad, 10.7

A competition consists of $25$ sports, each awarding one gold medal to a winner. $25$ athletes participate, each in all $25$ sports. There are also $25$ experts, each of whom must predict the number of gold medals each athlete will win. In each prediction, the medal counts must be non-negative integers summing to $25$. An expert is called competent if they correctly guess the number of gold medals for at least one athlete. What is the maximum number \( k \) such that the experts can make their predictions so that at least \( k \) of them are guaranteed to be competent regardless of the outcome? \\

Consider 26 letters $A,..., Z$. A string is a finite sequence consisting of those letters. We say that a string $s$ is nice if it contains each of the 26 letters at least once, and each permutation of letters $A,..., Z$ occurs in $s$ as a subsequences the same number of times. Prove that: (a) There exists a nice string. (b) Any nice string contains at least $2022$ letters.

In a village $X_0$ there are $80$ tourists who are about to visit $5$ nearby villages $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5$.Each of them has chosen to visit only one of them.However,there are cases when the visit in a village forces the visitor to visit other villages among $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5$.Each tourist visits only the village he has chosen and the villages he is forced to.If $X_1,X_2,X_3,X_4,X_5$ are totally visited by $40,60,65,70,75$ tourists respectively,then find how many tourists had chosen each one of them and determine all the ordered pairs $(X_i,X_j):i,j\in \{1,2,3,4,5\}$ which are such that,the visit in $X_i$ forces the visitor to visit $X_j$ as well.
