Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Sisyphus performs a sequence of turns on a board consisting of $n + 1$ squares in a row, numbered $0$ to $n$ from left to right. Initially, $n$ stones are put into square $0$, and the other squares are empty. At every turn, Sisyphus chooses any nonempty square, say with $k$ stones, takes one of these stones and moves it to the right by at most $k$ squares (the stone should say within the board). Sisyphus' aim is to move all $n$ stones to square $n$. Prove that Sisyphus cannot reach the aim in less than \[ \left \lceil \frac{n}{1} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{2} \right \rceil + \left \lceil \frac{n}{3} \right \rceil + \dots + \left \lceil \frac{n}{n} \right \rceil \] turns. (As usual, $\lceil x \rceil$ stands for the least integer not smaller than $x$. )

Let $n \geq 2, n \in \mathbb{N},$ find the least positive real number $\lambda$ such that for arbitrary $a_i \in \mathbb{R}$ with $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n$ and $b_i \in \left[0, \frac{1}{2}\right]$ with $i = 1, 2, \ldots, n$, the following holds: \[\sum^n_{i=1} a_i = \sum^n_{i=1} b_i = 1 \Rightarrow \prod^n_{i=1} a_i \leq \lambda \sum^n_{i=1} a_i b_i.\]

On Mars a basketball team consists of 6 players. The coach of the team Mars can select any line-up of 6 players among 100 candidates. The coach considers some line-ups as [i]appropriate[/i] while the other line-ups are not (there exists at least one appropriate line-up). A set of 5 candidates is called [i]perspective[/i] if one more candidate could be added to it to obtain an appropriate line-up. A candidate is called [i]universal[/i] if he completes each perspective set of 5 candidates (not containing him) upto an appropriate line-up. The coach has selected a line-up of 6 universal candidates. Determine if it follows that this line-up is appropriate.

Let $ n$ and $ k$ be positive integers with $ k \geq n$ and $ k \minus{} n$ an even number. Let $ 2n$ lamps labelled $ 1$, $ 2$, ..., $ 2n$ be given, each of which can be either [i]on[/i] or [i]off[/i]. Initially all the lamps are off. We consider sequences of steps: at each step one of the lamps is switched (from on to off or from off to on). Let $ N$ be the number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps and resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off. Let $ M$ be number of such sequences consisting of $ k$ steps, resulting in the state where lamps $ 1$ through $ n$ are all on, and lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ are all off, but where none of the lamps $ n \plus{} 1$ through $ 2n$ is ever switched on. Determine $ \frac {N}{M}$. [i]Author: Bruno Le Floch and Ilia Smilga, France[/i]
