2016 Saudi Arabia GMO TST, 3

In a school, there are totally $n$ students, with $n \ge 2$. The students take part in $m$ clubs and in each club, there are at least $2$ members (a student may take part in more than $1$ club). Eventually, the Principal notices that: If $2$ clubs share at least $2$ common members then they have different numbers of members. Prove that $$m \le (n - 1)^2$$

Denote by $Re(z)$ and $Im(z)$ the real part and imaginary part, respectively, of a complex number $z$; that is, if $z = a + bi$, then $Re(z) = a$ and $Im(z) = b$. Suppose that there exists some real number $k$ such that $Im \left( \frac{1}{w} \right) = Im \left( \frac{k}{w^2} \right) = Im \left( \frac{k}{w^3} \right) $ for some complex number $w$ with $||w||=\frac{\sqrt3}{2}$ , $Re(w) > 0$, and $Im(w) \ne 0$. If $k$ can be expressed as $\frac{\sqrt{a}-b}{c}$ for integers $a$, $b$, $c$ with $a$ squarefree, find $a + b + c$.

For every $3$-digit natural number $n$ (leading digit of $n$ is nonzero), we consider the number $n_0$ obtained from $n$ eliminating all possible digits that are zero. For example, if $n = 207$, then $n_0 = 27$. Determine the number of three-digit positive integers $n$, for which $n_0$ is a divisor of $n$ different from $n$.
