In Venetiania, the smallest currency is the ducat. The finance minister instructs his officials as follows: "I wish six kinds of banknotes, each worth a whole number of ducats. Those six values must be such that there exists a number N with the following property:
Any amount of money of $n$ ducats ($n$ positive and integer) where $n \le N$ may be paid in such a way that no more than two copies of each kind are required either to pay or to return. I also wish those six values to be as large as possible for $N$. Determine those six values and provide proof that all conditions have been met."
Solve the problem of those officials

A biologist watches a chameleon. The chameleon catches flies and rests after each catch. The biologist notices that:
[list=1][*]the first fly is caught after a resting period of one minute;
[*]the resting period before catching the $2m^\text{th}$ fly is the same as the resting period before catching the $m^\text{th}$ fly and one minute shorter than the resting period before catching the $(2m+1)^\text{th}$ fly;
[*]when the chameleon stops resting, he catches a fly instantly.[/list]
[list=a][*]How many flies were caught by the chameleon before his first resting period of $9$ minutes in a row?
[*]After how many minutes will the chameleon catch his $98^\text{th}$ fly?
[*]How many flies were caught by the chameleon after 1999 minutes have passed?[/list]

Given an integer $m > 1$, we call the number $x{}$ dangerous if $x{}$ divides the number $y{}$, which is obtained by writing the digits of $x{}$ in base $m{}$ in reverse order, with $x\neq y$. Prove that if there exists a three-digit (in base $m$) dangerous number for a given $m$, then there exists a two-digit (in base $m$) dangerous number.

There were 20 participants in a chess tournament. Each of them played with each other twice: once as white and once as black. Let us say that participant $X{}$ is no weaker than participant $Y{}$ if $X{}$ has won at least the same number of games playing white as $Y{}$ and also has won at least the same number of games playing black as $Y{}$ . Do there exist for sure two participants $A{}$ and $B{}$ such that $A{}$ is not weaker than $B{}$?
