A factorization of a positive integers is a way of writing it as a product of positive integers greater than $1$. Two factorizations are considered the same if they only differ in the order of terms in the product. For instance, $18$ has $4$ different factorizations: $18, 2\cdot 9, 3\cdot 6$ and $ 2\cdot 3\cdot 3$. For a positive integer $n$ we denote by $f(n)$ the number of distinct factorizations of $n$. By convention $f(1)=1$. Prove that $f(n)\leq n$ for all positive integers $n$.

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral with circumcenter $O$. The internal angle bisectors of \(\angle DAB\), \(\angle ABC\), \(\angle BCD\), \(\angle CDA\) create a convex quadrilateral $Q_1$. The external bisectors of the same angles create another convex quadrilateral $Q_2$.
Prove $Q_1$, $Q_2$ are cyclic, and that $O$ is the midpoint of their circumcenters.

Alan, Jason, and Shervin are playing a game with MafsCounts questions. They each start with $2$ tokens. In each round, they are given the same MafsCounts question. The first person to solve the MafsCounts question wins the round and steals one token from each of the other players in the game. They all have the same probability of winning any given round. If a player runs out of tokens, they are removed from the game. The last player remaining wins the game.
If Alan wins the first round but does not win the second round, what is the probability that he wins the game?

You have to organize a fair procedure to randomly select someone from $ n$ people so that every one of them would be chosen with the probability $ \frac{1}{n}$. You are allowed to choose two real numbers $ 0<p_1<1$ and $ 0<p_2<1$ and order two coins which satisfy the following requirement: the probability of tossing "heads" on the first coin $ p_1$ and the probability of tossing "heads" on the second coin is $ p_2$. Before starting the procedure, you are supposed to announce an upper bound on the total number of times that the two coins are going to be flipped altogether. Describe a procedure that achieves this goal under the given conditions.

A company has five directors. The regulations of the company require that any majority (three or more) of the directors should be able to open its strongroom, but any minority (two or less) should not be able to do so. The strongroom is equipped with ten locks, so that it can only be opened when keys to all ten locks are available. Find all positive integers $n$ such that it is possible to give each of the directors a set of keys to $n$ different locks, according to the requirements and regulations of the company.

On each unit square of a $9 \times 9$ square, there is a bettle. Simultaneously, at the whistle, each bettle moves from its unit square to another one which has only a common vertex with the original one (thus in diagonal). Some bettles can go to the same unit square.
Determine the minimum number of empty unit squares after the moves.

A round-robin tournament is one where each team plays every other team exactly once. Five teams take part in such a tournament getting: $3$ points for a win, $1$ point for a draw and $0$ points for a loss. At the end of the tournament the teams are ranked from first to last according to the number of points.
(a) Is it possible that at the end of the tournament, each team has a different number of points, and each team except for the team ranked last has exactly two more points than the next-ranked team?
(b) Is this possible if there are six teams in the tournament instead?
