We will call a positive integer [i]good [/i] if all its digits are nonzero. A good integer will be called [i]special [/i] if it has at least $k$ digits and their values strictly increase from left to right. Let a good integer be given. At each move, one may either add some special integer to its digital expression from the left or from the right, or insert a special integer between any two its digits, or remove a special number from its digital expression.What is the largest $k$ such that any good integer can be turned into any other good integer by such moves?

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle, and let $F$ be the foot of its altitude from the vertex $C$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of the segment $CA$. Assume that $CF=BM$. Then the angle $MBC$ is equal to angle $FCA$ if and only if the triangle $ABC$ is equilateral.

1994 Tournament Of Towns, (412) 3

A chocolate bar has five lengthwise dents and eight crosswise ones, which can be used to break up the bar into sections (one can get a total of $ 9 \times 6 = 54$ cells). Two players play the following game with such a bar. At each move (the two players move alternatively) one player breaks off a section of width one from the bar along a single dent and eats it, the other player does the same with what’s left of the bar, and so on. When one of the players breaks up a section of width two into two strips of width one, he eats one of the strips and the other player eats the other strip. Prove that the player who has the first move can play so as to eat at least $6$ cells more than his opponent (no matter how his opponent plays). (R Fedorov)
