The President of the Bank "Glavny Central" Gerasim Shchenkov announced that from January $2$, $2001$ until January $31$ of the same year, the dollar exchange rate would not go beyond the boundaries of the corridor of $27$ rubles $50$ kopecks. and $28$ rubles $30$ kopecks for the dollar. On January $2$, the rate will be a multiple of $5$ kopecks, and starting from January 3, each day will differ from the rate of the previous day by exactly $5$ kopecks. Mr. Shchenkov suggested that citizens try to guess what the dollar exchange rate will be during the specified period. Anyone who can give an accurate forecast for at least one day, he promised to give a cash prize. One interesting person lives in our house, a tireless arguer. For his passion for arguments and constant winnings, he was even nicknamed Zhora Sporos. Zhora claims that he can give such a forecast of the dollar exchange rate for every day from January 424 to January 4314, which he will surely guess at least once, if, of course, the banker strictly acts in accordance with the announced rules. Is Zhora right? Note: 1 ruble =100 kopecks [hide=original wording]10-I-7. Президент банка "Главный централ" Герасим Щенков объявил, что со 2-го января 2001 года и до 31-го января этого же года курс доллара не будет выходить за границы коридора 27 руб. 50 коп. и 28 руб. 30 коп. за доллар. 2-го января курс будет кратен 5 копейкам, а, начиная с 3-го января, каждый день будет отличаться от курса предыдущего дня ровно на 5 копеек. Господин Щенков предложил гражданам попробовать угадать, каким будет курс доллара в течение указанного периода. Тому, кто сумеет дать точный прогноз хотя бы на один день, он обещал выдать денежный приз. В нашем доме живет один интересный человек, неутомимый спорщик. За страсть к спорам и постоянные выигрыши его даже прозвали Жора Спорос. Жора утверждает, что может дать такой прогноз курса доллара на каждый день со 2-го по 31-е января, что обязательно хотя бы один раз угадает, если, конечно, банкир будет строго действовать в соответствии с объявленными правилами. Прав ли Жора? [/hide]

The sets $A$ and $B$ are subsets of the positive integers. The sum of any two distinct elements of $A$ is an element of $B$. The quotient of any two distinct elements of $B$ (where we divide the largest by the smallest of the two) is an element of $A$. Determine the maximum number of elements in $A\cup B$.

The director of a marching band wishes to place the members into a formation that includes all of them and has no unfilled positions. If they are arranged in a square formation, there are 5 members left over. The director realizes that if he arranges the group in a formation with 7 more rows than columns, there are no members left over. Find the maximum number of members this band can have.

PEN S Problems, 32

Alice and Bob play the following number-guessing game. Alice writes down a list of positive integers $x_{1}$, $\cdots$, $x_{n}$, but does not reveal them to Bob, who will try to determine the numbers by asking Alice questions. Bob chooses a list of positive integers $a_{1}$, $\cdots$, $a_{n}$ and asks Alice to tell him the value of $a_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+a_{n}x_{n}$. Then Bob chooses another list of positive integers $b_{1}$, $\cdots$, $b_{n}$ and asks Alice for $b_{1}x_{1}+\cdots+b_{n}x_{n}$. Play continues in this way until Bob is able to determine Alice's numbers. How many rounds will Bob need in order to determine Alice's numbers?
