Princeton has an endowment of $5$ million dollars and wants to invest it into improving campus life. The university has three options: it can either invest in improving the dorms, campus parties or dining hall food quality. If they invest $a$ million dollars in the dorms, the students will spend an additional $5a$ hours per week studying. If the university invests $b$ million dollars in better food, the students will spend an additional $3b$ hours per week studying. Finally, if the $c$ million dollars are invested in parties, students will be more relaxed and spend $11c - c^2$ more hours per week studying. The university wants to invest its $5$ million dollars so that the students get as many additional hours of studying as possible. What is the maximal amount that students get to study?

There are at least $3$ subway stations in a city. In this city, there exists a route that passes through more than $L$ subway stations, without revisiting. Subways run both ways, which means that if you can go from subway station A to B, you can also go from B to A. Prove that at least one of the two holds. $\text{(i)}$. There exists three subway stations $A$, $B$, $C$ such that there does not exist a route from $A$ to $B$ which doesn't pass through $C$. $\text{(ii)}$.
