A graup of pirates had an argument and not each of them holds some other two at gunpoint.All the pirates are called one by one in some order.If the called pirate is still alive , he shoots both pirates he is aiming at ( some of whom might already be dead .) All shorts are immediatcly lethal . After all the pirates have been called , it turns out the exactly $28$ pirates got killed . Prove that if the pirates were called in whatever other order , at least $10$ pirates would have been killed anyway.

For any natural number $n$, consider a $1\times n$ rectangular board made up of $n$ unit squares. This is covered by $3$ types of tiles : $1\times 1$ red tile, $1\times 1$ green tile and $1\times 2$ domino. (For example, we can have $5$ types of tiling when $n=2$ : red-red ; red-green ; green-red ; green-green ; and blue.) Let $t_n$ denote the number of ways of covering $1\times n$ rectangular board by these $3$ types of tiles. Prove that, $t_n$ divides $t_{2n+1}$.

There are $9$ visually indistinguishable coins, and one of them is fake and thus lighter. We are given $3$ indistinguishable balance scales to find the fake coin; however, one of the scales is defective and shows a random result each time. Show that the fake coin can still be found with $4$ weighings.

Simon and Garfunkle play in a round-robin golf tournament. Each player is awarded one point for a victory, a half point for a tie, and no points for a loss. Simon beat Garfunkle in the first game by a record margin as Garfunkle sent a shot over the bridge and into troubled waters on the final hole. Garfunkle went on to score $8$ total victories, but no ties at all. Meanwhile, Simon wound up with exactly $8$ points, including the point for a victory over Garfunkle. Amazingly, every other player at the tournament scored exactly $n$. Find the sum of all possible values of $n$.

In a country, mathematicians chose an $\alpha> 2$ and issued coins in denominations of 1 ruble, as well as $\alpha ^k$ rubles for each positive integer k. $\alpha$ was chosen so that the value of each coins, except the smallest, was irrational. Is it possible that any natural number of rubles can be formed with at most 6 of each denomination of coins?
