Under the new AMC 10, 12 scoring method, $6$ points are given for each correct answer, $2.5$ points are given for each unanswered question, and no points are given for an incorrect answer. Some of the possible scores between $0$ and $150$ can be obtained in only one way, for example, the only way to obtain a score of $146.5$ is to have 24 correct answers and one unanswered question. Some scores can be obtained in exactly two ways; for example, a score of $104.5$ can be obtained with $17$ correct answers, $1$ unanswered question, and $7$ incorrect, and also with $12$ correct answers and $13$ unanswered questions. There are three scores that can be obtained in exactly three ways. What is their sum? $\textbf{(A) }175\qquad\textbf{(B) }179.5\qquad\textbf{(C) }182\qquad\textbf{(D) }188.5\qquad\textbf{(E) }201$

In a board with $3$ rows and $555$ columns, $3$ squares are colored red, one in each of the $3$ rows. If the numbers from $1$ to $1665$ are written in the boxes, in row order, from left to right (in the first row from $1$ to $555$, in the second from $556$ to $1110$ and in the third from $1111$ to $1665$) there are $3$ numbers that are written in red squares. If they are written in the boxes, ordered by columns, from top to bottom, the numbers from $1$ to $1665$ (in the first column from $1$ to $3$, in the second from $4$ to $6$, in the third from $7$ to $9$,... ., and in the last one from $1663$ to $1665$) there are $3$ numbers that are written in red boxes. We call [i]red[/i] numbers those that in one of the two distributions are written in red boxes. Indicate which are the $3$ squares that must be colored red so that there are only $3$ red numbers. Show all the possibilities.

Each of the $9$ referees on the figure skating championship estimates the program of $20$ sportsmen by assigning him a place (from $1$ to $20$). The winner is determined by adding those numbers. (The less is the sum - the higher is the final place). It was found, that for the each sportsman, the difference of the places, received from the different referees was not greater than $3$. What can be the maximal sum for the winner?
