One of two wizards, named Steven, was told the sum of three positive integers and the other, named Peter, their product. “If I knew”, said Steven, “that your number is greater than mine, I could find the integers”. “But my number is less than yours,” replied Peter, “and the integers are $X$, $Y$ and $Z$”. Find these numbers. (L Borisov)

Consider a polynomial \[f(x)=x^{2012}+a_{2011}x^{2011}+\dots+a_1x+a_0.\] Albert Einstein and Homer Simpson are playing the following game. In turn, they choose one of the coefficients $a_0,a_1,\dots,a_{2011}$ and assign a real value to it. Albert has the first move. Once a value is assigned to a coefficient, it cannot be changed any more. The game ends after all the coefficients have been assigned values. Homer's goal is to make $f(x)$ divisible by a fixed polynomial $m(x)$ and Albert's goal is to prevent this. (a) Which of the players has a winning strategy if $m(x)=x-2012$? (b) Which of the players has a winning strategy if $m(x)=x^2+1$? [i]Proposed by Fedor Duzhin, Nanyang Technological University.[/i]

For $n \geq 3$ and $a_{1} \leq a_{2} \leq \ldots \leq a_{n}$ given real numbers we have the following instructions: - place out the numbers in some order in a ring; - delete one of the numbers from the ring; - if just two numbers are remaining in the ring: let $S$ be the sum of these two numbers. Otherwise, if there are more the two numbers in the ring, replace Afterwards start again with the step (2). Show that the largest sum $S$ which can result in this way is given by the formula \[S_{max}= \sum^n_{k=2} \begin{pmatrix} n -2 \\ [\frac{k}{2}] - 1\end{pmatrix}a_{k}.\]
