Let $E$ and $F$ be the reflections of $C$ in lines $C_1A_1$ and $C_1B_1$, respectively. Let $K$ and $L$ be the reflections of $D$ in lines $C_1A_1$ and $C_1B_1$, respectively.

For $i = 1,2, \ldots, 1991$, we choose $n_i$ points and write number $i$ on them (each point has only written one number on it). A set of chords are drawn such that:
(i) They are pairwise non-intersecting.
(ii) The endpoints of each chord have distinct numbers.
If for all possible assignments of numbers the operation can always be done, find the necessary and sufficient condition the numbers $n_1, n_2, \ldots, n_{1991}$ must satisfy for this to be possible.

For every $3$-digit natural number $n$ (leading digit of $n$ is nonzero), we consider the number $n_0$ obtained from $n$ eliminating all possible digits that are zero. For example, if $n = 207$, then $n_0 = 27$. Determine the number of three-digit positive integers $n$, for which $n_0$ is a divisor of $n$ different from $n$.

Three disks of diameter $d$ are touching a sphere in their centers. Besides, every disk touches the other two disks. How to choose the radius $R$ of the sphere in order that axis of the whole figure has an angle of $60^\circ$ with the line connecting the center of the sphere with the point of the disks which is at the largest distance from the axis ? (The axis of the figure is the line having the property that rotation of the figure of $120^\circ$ around that line brings the figure in the initial position. Disks are all on one side of the plane, passing through the center of the sphere and orthogonal to the axis).

Ali Baba and the $40$ thieves want to cross Bosporus strait. They made a line so that any two people standing next to each other are friends. Ali Baba is the first, he is also a friend with the thief next to his neighbour. There is a single
boat that can carry $2$ or $3$ people and these people must be friends. Can Ali Baba and the $40$ thieves always cross the strait if a single person cannot sail?
