Let $n \geq 4$ be an even integer. Consider an $n \times n$ grid. Two cells ($1 \times 1$ squares) are [i]neighbors[/i] if they share a side, are in opposite ends of a row, or are in opposite ends of a column. In this way, each cell in the grid has exactly four neighbors. An integer from 1 to 4 is written inside each square according to the following rules: [list] [*]If a cell has a 2 written on it, then at least two of its neighbors contain a 1. [*]If a cell has a 3 written on it, then at least three of its neighbors contain a 1. [*]If a cell has a 4 written on it, then all of its neighbors contain a 1.[/list] Among all arrangements satisfying these conditions, what is the maximum number that can be obtained by adding all of the numbers on the grid?

In the center of a square is a rabbit and at each vertex of this even square, a wolf. The wolves only move along the sides of the square and the rabbit moves freely in the plane. Knowing that the rabbit move at a speed of $10$ km / h and that the wolves move to a maximum speed of $14$ km / h, determine if there is a strategy for the rabbit to leave the square without being caught by the wolves.

An integer number $m\geq 1$ is [i]mexica[/i] if it's of the form $n^{d(n)}$, where $n$ is a positive integer and $d(n)$ is the number of positive integers which divide $n$. Find all mexica numbers less than $2019$. Note. The divisors of $n$ include $1$ and $n$; for example, $d(12)=6$, since $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12$ are all the positive divisors of $12$.

An integer is a perfect number if and only if it is equal to the sum of all of its divisors except itself. For example, $28$ is a perfect number since $28 = 1 + 2 + 4 + 7 + 14$. Let $n!$ denote the product $1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot ...\cdot n$, where $n$ is a positive integer. An integer is a factorial if and only if it is equal to $n!$ for some positive integer $n$. For example, $24$ is a factorial number since $24 = 4! = 1\cdot 2\cdot 3\cdot 4$. Find all perfect numbers greater than $1$ that are also factorials.
