2006 International Zhautykov Olympiad, 1

In a pile you have 100 stones. A partition of the pile in $ k$ piles is [i]good[/i] if: 1) the small piles have different numbers of stones; 2) for any partition of one of the small piles in 2 smaller piles, among the $ k \plus{} 1$ piles you get 2 with the same number of stones (any pile has at least 1 stone). Find the maximum and minimal values of $ k$ for which this is possible.

VI Soros Olympiad 1999 - 2000 (Russia), 9.10

The schoolboy wrote a homework essay on the topic “How I spent my summer.” Two of his comrades from a neighboring school decided not to bother themselves with work and rewrote his essay. But while rewriting they made several mistakes - each their own. Before submitting their work, both students gave their essays to four other friends to rewrite (each gave them to two acquaintances). These four schoolchildren do the same, and so on. With each rewrite, all previous mistakes are saved and, possibly, new ones are made. It is known that on some day each new essay contained at least $10$ errors. Prove that there was a day when at least $11$ new mistakes were made in total.

Seven identical-looking coins are given, of which four are real and three are counterfeit. The three counterfeit coins have equal weight, and the four real coins have equal weight. It is known that a counterfeit coin is lighter than a real one. In one weighing, one can select two sets of coins and check which set has a smaller total weight, or if they are of equal weight. How many weightings are needed to identify one counterfeit coin?

Suppose you have identical coins distributed in several piles with one or more coins in each pile. An action consists of taking two piles, which have an even total of coins among them, and redistribute their coins in two piles so that they end up with the same number of coins. A distribution is [i]levelable[/i] if it is possible, by means of 0 or more operations, to end up with all the piles having the same number of coins. Determine all positive integers $n$ such that, for all positive integers $k$, any distribution of $nk$ coins in $n$ piles is levelable.
