Paca-Vaca decided to note every day a single quadratic polynomial of the form $x^2+ax+b$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers, less or equal than $100$. He follows the rule that the polynomial he writes must not have any common roots with the polynomials previously noted. What is the maximum amount of days Paca-Vaca can follow this plan?

The numbers $2, 2, ..., 2$ are written on a blackboard (the number $2$ is repeated $n$ times). One step consists of choosing two numbers from the blackboard, denoting them as $a$ and $b$, and replacing them with $\sqrt{\frac{ab + 1}{2}}$. $(a)$ If $x$ is the number left on the blackboard after $n - 1$ applications of the above operation, prove that $x \ge \sqrt{\frac{n + 3}{n}}$. $(b)$ Prove that there are infinitely many numbers for which the equality holds and infinitely many for which the inequality is strict.

A magician intends to perform the following trick. She announces a positive integer $n$, along with $2n$ real numbers $x_1 < \dots < x_{2n}$, to the audience. A member of the audience then secretly chooses a polynomial $P(x)$ of degree $n$ with real coefficients, computes the $2n$ values $P(x_1), \dots , P(x_{2n})$, and writes down these $2n$ values on the blackboard in non-decreasing order. After that the magician announces the secret polynomial to the audience. Can the magician find a strategy to perform such a trick?
