The country Dreamland consists of $2016$ cities. The airline Starways wants to establish some one-way flights between pairs of cities in such a way that each city has exactly one flight out of it. Find the smallest positive integer $k$ such that no matter how Starways establishes its flights, the cities can always be partitioned into $k$ groups so that from any city it is not possible to reach another city in the same group by using at most $28$ flights.

You are racing an Artificially Intelligent Robot, called Al, that you built. You can run at a constant speed of $10$ m/s throughout the race. Meanwhile, Al starts running at a constant speed of $ 1$ m/s. Thereafter, when exactly $ 1$ second has passed from when Al last changed its speed, Al’s speed instantaneously becomes $1$ m/s faster, so that Al runs at a constant speed of $k$ m/s in the kth second of the race. (Start counting seconds at $ 1$). Suppose Al beats you by exactly $1$ second. How many meters was the race?

There is a ruble coin in each cell of the board with $2\times 200$. Dasha and Sonya play, taking turns making moves, Dasha starts. In one move, it is allowed to select any coin and move it: Dasha moves the coin to a diagonally adjacent cell, Sonya is to the side adjacent. If two coins end up in the same cell, one of them is immediately removed from the board and goes to Sonya. Sonya can stop the game at any time and take all the coins she has received. What is the biggest win she can get, no matter how she plays Dasha? [i]A. Kuznetsov[/i]
