Let \( p_1, p_2, \cdots, p_{2025} \) be real numbers. For \( 1 \leq i \leq 2025 \), let \[\{a_n^{(i)}\}_{n \geq 0}\] be an infinite real sequence satisfying \[a_0^{(i)} = 0.\] It is known that: (1) \[a_1^{(1)}, a_1^{(2)}, \cdots, a_1^{(2025)}\] are not all zero. (2) For any integer \( n \geq 0 \) and any \( 1 \leq i \leq 2025 \), the following holds: \[p_i \cdot a_n^{(i+1)} = a_{n-1}^{(i)} + a_n^{(i)} + a_{n+1}^{(i)},\] where the sequence \[\{a_n^{(2026)}\}\] satisfies \[a_n^{(2026)} = a_n^{(1)}, \, n = 0, 1, 2, \cdots.\] Prove that there exists a positive real number \( r \) such that for infinitely many positive integers \( n \), \[\max \left\{ |a_n^{(1)}|, |a_n^{(2)}|, \cdots, |a_n^{(2025)}|\right\} \geq r.\]

When one of them breaks a connection, he may eat any single sausages that may fall out. Tom takes the first bite. Each of them is trying his best to eat more sausages than his opponent. Who will succeed? [b]p2. [/b]The King of the Mountain Dwarves wants to light his underground throne room by placing several torches so that the whole room is lit. The king, being very miserly, wants to use as few torches as possible. What is the least number of torches he could use? (You should show why he can't do it with a smaller number of torches.)

Knights always tell the truth and liars always lie. One day in the Wood, Winnie-the-Pooh, a knight, decides to visit his friend Rabbit, also a noble knight. Upon arrival, Pooh finds his friend sitting at a round table with $5$ other guests. One-by-one, Pooh asks each person at the table how many of his two neighbors are knights. Surprisingly, he gets the same answer from everybody! "Oh bother!" proclaims Pooh. "I still don't have enough information to figure out how many knights are at this table." "But it's my birthday," adds one of the guests. "Yes, it's his birthday!" agrees his neighbor. Now Pooh can tell how many knights are at the table. Can you?

Two players, Ann and Bob, can select any two piles of stones and combine them into one bigger pile, as long as this pile would not contain more than half of all the stones on the table.
