$30$ volleyball teams have participated in a league. Any two teams have played a match with each other exactly once. At the end of the league, a match is called [b]unusual[/b] if at the end of the league, the winner of the match have a smaller amount of wins than the loser of the match. A team is called [b]astonishing[/b] if all its matches are [b]unusual[/b] matches. Find the maximum number of [b]astonishing[/b] teams.

An arrangement of chips in the squares of $ n\times n$ table is called [i]sparse[/i] if every $ 2\times 2$ square contains at most 3 chips. Serge put chips in some squares of the table (one in a square) and obtained a sparse arrangement. He noted however that if any chip is moved to any free square then the arrangement is no more sparce. For what $ n$ is this possible? [i]Proposed by S. Berlov[/i]

$(GBR 1)$ The polynomial $P(x) = a_0x^k + a_1x^{k-1} + \cdots + a_k$, where $a_0,\cdots, a_k$ are integers, is said to be divisible by an integer $m$ if $P(x)$ is a multiple of $m$ for every integral value of $x$. Show that if $P(x)$ is divisible by $m$, then $a_0 \cdot k!$ is a multiple of $m$. Also prove that if $a, k,m$ are positive integers such that $ak!$ is a multiple of $m$, then a polynomial $P(x)$ with leading term $ax^k$can be found that is divisible by $m.$

Let $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$ be four points in the plane, with $C$ and $D$ on the same side of the line $AB$, such that $AC \cdot BD = AD \cdot BC$ and $\angle ADB = 90^{\circ}+\angle ACB$. Find the ratio \[\frac{AB \cdot CD}{AC \cdot BD}, \] and prove that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal. (Intersecting circles are said to be orthogonal if at either common point their tangents are perpendicuar. Thus, proving that the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ are orthogonal is equivalent to proving that the tangents to the circumcircles of the triangles $ACD$ and $BCD$ at the point $C$ are perpendicular.)
