Melanie computes the mean $\mu$, the median $M$, and the modes of the $365$ values that are the dates in the months of $2019$. Thus her data consist of $12$ $1\text{s}$, $12$ $2\text{s}$, . . . , $12$ $28\text{s}$, $11$ $29\text{s}$, $11$ $30\text{s}$, and $7$ $31\text{s}$. Let $d$ be the median of the modes.

Let $f(x) = x^2 + \lfloor x\rfloor ^2 - 2x \lfloor x \rfloor + 1$. Compute $f\left(4 + \frac56 \right)$.
Here, $\lfloor m \rfloor$ is defined as the greatest integer less than or equal to $m$. For example, $\lfloor 3 \rfloor = 3$ and $\lfloor - 4.25 \rfloor = -5$.

On the sides of triangle \( ABC \), points \( D_1, D_2, E_1, E_2, F_1, F_2 \) are chosen such that when going around the triangle, the points occur in the order \( A, F_1, F_2, B, D_1, D_2, C, E_1, E_2 \). It is given that
\[
AD_1 = AD_2 = BE_1 = BE_2 = CF_1 = CF_2.

show there exist positive constants $c_1$ and $c_2$ such that for any $n\geq 3$, whenever $T_1$ and $T_2$ are two trees on the set of vertices $X = \{1, 2, ..., n\}$, there exists a function $f : X \to \{-1, +1\}$ for which
$$\bigg | \sum_ {x \in P} f (x) \bigg | <c_1 \log n$$

Petya and Kolya play the following game: they take turns changing one of the coefficients $a$ or $b$ of the quadratic trinomial $f = x^2 + ax + b$: Petya is on $1$, Kolya is on $1$ or $3$. Kolya wins if after the move of one of the players a trinomial is obtained that has whole roots. Is it true that Kolya can win for any initial integer odds $a$ and $b$ regardless of Petya's game?

Denote $\textrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$ and $\textrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z})$
the sets of matrices with $2$ rows and $2$ columns, respectively with $3$ rows and $3$ columns, with integer entries and their determinant equal to $1$.
$\textbf{(a)}$ Let $N$ be a positive integer and let $g$ be a matrix with $3$ rows and $3$ columns, with rational entries. Suppose that for each positive divisor $M$ of $N$ there exists a rational number $q_M$, a positive divisor $f (M)$ of $N$ and a matrix $\gamma_M \in \textrm{SL}_3 (\mathbb{Z})$ such that
\[ g = q_M \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & f (M)
\end{array}\right) \gamma_M \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
1 & 0 & 0\\
0 & 1 & 0\\
0 & 0 & M^{}
\end{array}\right) . \]
Moreover, if $q_1 = 1$, prove that $\det (g) = N$ and $g$ has the following shape:
\[ g = \left(\begin{array}{ccc}
a_{11} & a_{12} & Na_{13}\\
a_{21} & a_{22} & Na_{23}\\
Na_{31} & Na_{32} & Na_{33}
\end{array}\right), \]
where $a_{ij}$ are all integers, $i, j \in \{ 1, 2, 3 \} .$
$\textbf{(b)}$ Provide an example of a matrix $g$ with $2$ rows and $2$ columns which satisfies the following properties:
$\bullet$ For each positive divisor $M$ of $6$ there exists a rational number $q_M$, a positive divisor $f (M)$ of $6$ and a matrix $\gamma_M \in \textrm{SL}_2 (\mathbb{Z})$ such that
\[ g = q_M \left(\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & f (M)
\end{array}\right) \gamma_M \left(\begin{array}{cc}
1 & 0\\
0 & M^{}
\end{array}\right) \]
and $q_1 = 1$.
$\bullet$ $g$ does not have its determinant equal to $6$ and is not of the shape
\[ g = \left(\begin{array}{cc}
a_{22} & 6 a_{23}\\
6 a_{32} & 6 a_{33}
\end{array}\right), \]
where $a_{ij}$ are all positive integers, $i, j \in \{ 2, 3 \}$.
