Several (at least three) turtles are crawling along the plane, the velocities of which are constant in magnitude and direction (all are equal in magnitude, but pairwise different in direction). Prove that regardless of the initial location, after some time all the turtles will be at the vertices of some convex polygon.

Part of an "$n$-pointed regular star" is shown. It is a simple closed polygon in which all $2n$ edges are congruent, angles $A_{1}$, $A_{2}$, $\ldots$, $A_{n}$ are congruent and angles $B_{1}$, $B_{2}$, $\ldots$, $B_{n}$ are congruent. If the acute angle at $A_{1}$ is $10^{\circ}$ less than the acute angle at $B_{1}$, then $n = $

A pen costs $\mathrm{Rs.}\, 13$ and a note book costs $\mathrm{Rs.}\, 17$. A school spends exactly $\mathrm{Rs.}\, 10000$ in the year $2017-18$ to buy $x$ pens and $y$ note books such that $x$ and $y$ are as close as possible (i.e., $|x-y|$ is minimum). Next year, in $2018-19$, the school spends a little more than $\mathrm{Rs.}\, 10000$ and buys $y$ pens and $x$ note books. How much [b]more[/b] did the school pay?

For any set $S$, let $P(S)$ be its power set, the set of all of its subsets. Over all sets $A$ of $2015$ arbitrary finite sets, let $N$ be the maximum possible number of ordered pairs $(S,T)$ such that $S \in P(A), T \in P(P(A))$, $S \in T$, and $S \subseteq T$. (Note that by convention, a set may never contain itself.) Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000.$

The lemonade stand has a [i]filling machine[/i] and an [i]emptying machine[/i], which operate according to the following rules: [list] [*]If at any moment, \(a\) completely empty cups are available, the filling machine spends the next \(a\) minutes filling those \(a\) cups simultaneously and doing nothing else. [*]If at any moment, \(b\) completely full cups are available, the emptying machine spends the next \(b\) minutes emptying those \(b\) cups simultaneously and doing nothing else. [/list] Suppose that after a sufficiently long time has passed, both the filling machine and emptying machine work without pausing. Find, in terms of \(a\) and \(b\), the least possible value of \(n\).

High school graduate Igor Petrov, who dreamed of becoming a diplomat, took the entrance exam in mathematics to Moscow University. Igor remembered all the problems offered during the exam, but forgot some numerical data in one. This is the task:
“When multiplying two natural numbers, the difference of which is $10$, an error was made: the hundreds digit in the product was increased by $2$. When dividing the resulting (incorrect) product by the smaller of the factors, the result was quotient $k$ and remainder $r$.. Find the numbers that needed to be multiplied.” .
The values of $k$ and $r$ were given in the condition, but Igor forgot them. However, he remembered that the problem had two answers. What could the numbers $ k$ and $r$ be equal to (they are both integers and positive)?
[i]Note. The problem in question was proposed at one of the humanities faculties of Moscow State University in 1991.
