For all positive integers $r$ and $s,$ let $\text{Top}(r,s)$ denote the top number (i.e., numerator) when $r$ $s$ is written in simplified form. For instance, $\text{Top}(20,24) = 5.$ Compute the number of ordered pairs of positive integers $(a,z)$ such that $200 \le a \le 300$ and $\text{Top}(a,z) = \text{Top}(z,a-1).$

Eight children, all of different heights, must form an orderly line from smallest to largest. We will say that the row has exactly one error if there is a child that is immediately behind another taller than it, and everyone else (except the first in line) is immediately behind a shorter one. of how many ways the eight children can line up with exactly one mistake?

There are 60 empty boxes $B_1,\ldots,B_{60}$ in a row on a table and an unlimited supply of pebbles. Given a positive integer $n$, Alice and Bob play the following game. In the first round, Alice takes $n$ pebbles and distributes them into the 60 boxes as she wishes. Each subsequent round consists of two steps: (a) Bob chooses an integer $k$ with $1\leq k\leq 59$ and splits the boxes into the two groups $B_1,\ldots,B_k$ and $B_{k+1},\ldots,B_{60}$. (b) Alice picks one of these two groups, adds one pebble to each box in that group, and removes one pebble from each box in the other group. Bob wins if, at the end of any round, some box contains no pebbles. Find the smallest $n$ such that Alice can prevent Bob from winning. [i]Czech Republic[/i]
