The taxi fare in Gotham City is $\$2.40$ for the first $\frac12$ mile and additional mileage charged at the rate $\$ 0.20$ for each additional 0.1 mile. You plan to give the driver a $\$2$ tip. How many miles can you ride for $\$10?$ $ \textbf{(A)}3.0\qquad\textbf{(B)}3.25\qquad\textbf{(C)}3.3\qquad\textbf{(D)}3.5\qquad\textbf{(E)}3.75 $

There are some balls, on each of which a positive integer not exceeding $14$ (and not necessarily distinct) is written, and the sum of the numbers on all balls is $S$. Find the greatest possible value of $S$ such that, regardless of what the integers are, one can ensure that the balls can be divided into two piles so that the sum of the numbers on the balls in each pile does not exceed $129$.

Prove that among any $42$ numbers from the interval $[1,10^6]$, you can choose four numbers so that for any permutation $(a, b, c, d)$ of these numbers, the inequality $$25 (ab + cd) (ad + bc) \ge 16 (ac + bd)^ 2$$ holds.
