Arthur, Bob, and Carla each choose a three-digit number. They each multiply the digits of their own numbers. Arthur gets 64, Bob gets 35, and Carla gets 81. Then, they add corresponding digits of their numbers together. The total of the hundreds place is 24, that of the tens place is 12, and that of the ones place is 6. What is the difference between the largest and smallest of the three original numbers?

Kostas and Helene have the following dialogue:
Kostas: I have in my mind three positive real numbers with product $1$ and sum equal to the sum of all their pairwise products.
Helene: I think that I know the numbers you have in mind. They are all equal to $1$.
Kostas: In fact, the numbers you mentioned satisfy my conditions, but I did not think of these numbers. The numbers you mentioned have the minimal sum between all possible solutions of the problem.
Can you decide if Kostas is right? (Explain your answer).

A round robin tournament is held with $2016$ participants. Each player plays each other player once and no games result in ties. We say a pair of players $A$ and $B$ is a [i]dominant pair[/i] if all other players either defeat $A$ and $B$ or are defeated by both $A$ and $B$. Find the maximum number dominant pairs.

For all natural $n$, an $n$-staircase is a figure consisting of unit squares, with one square in the first row, two squares in the second row, and so on, up to $n$ squares in the $n^{th}$ row, such that all the left-most squares in each row are aligned vertically.
Let $f(n)$ denote the minimum number of square tiles requires to tile the $n$-staircase, where the side lengths of the square tiles can be any natural number. e.g. $f(2)=3$ and $f(4)=7$.
(a) Find all $n$ such that $f(n)=n$.
(b) Find all $n$ such that $f(n) = n+1$.

On a straight road, points $1, 2, \ldots, n$ are marked. The distance between any two adjacent points is 1. A "placement" refers to the arrangement of $n$ cars, numbered with the same numbers, at the marked points (there can be multiple cars at one point). The "distance" between two placements is defined as the minimum total length of sections that need to be paved so that cars from the first placement can drive on the asphalt, forming the second one (cars can change places on the road). Prove that for any $\alpha<1$, there exists an integer number $n$ for which there are $100^n$ placements, the pairwise distances between which are greater than $\alpha n$.

There are $2000$ components in a circuit, every two of which were initially joined by a wire. The hooligans Vasya and Petya cut the wires one after another. Vasya, who starts, cuts one wire on his turn, while Petya cuts one or three. The hooligan who cuts the last wire from some component loses. Who has the winning strategy?
