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. Which of the following statements is true? $\textbf{(A) } \mu < d < M \qquad\textbf{(B) } M < d < \mu \qquad\textbf{(C) } d = M =\mu \qquad\textbf{(D) } d < M < \mu \qquad\textbf{(E) } d < \mu < M$

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? [hide=original wording]Петя и Коля играют в следующую игру: они по очереди изменяют один из коэффициентов a или b квадратного трехчлена f = x^2 + ax + b: Петя на 1, Коля- на 1 или на 3. Коля выигрывает, если после хода одного из игроков получается трехчлен, имеющий целые корни. Верно ли, что Коля может выигратьпр и любых начальных целых коэффициентах a и b независимо от игры Пети?[/hide]
