Ella the Witch was mixing a magic elixir which consisted of three components: $140$ ml of reindeer moss tea, $160$ ml of fly agaric extract, and $50$ ml of moonshine. She took an empty $350$ ml bottle, poured $140$ ml of reindeer moss tea into it and started adding fly agaric extract when she was disturbed by its black cat Mehsto. So she mistakenly poured too much fly agaric extract into the bottle and noticed her fault only later when the bottle Riled before all $50$ ml of moonshine was added. Ella made quick calculations, carefully shaked up the contents of the bottle, poured out some part of liquid and added some amount of mixture of reindeer moss tea and fly agaric extract taken in a certain proportion until the bottle was full again and the elixir had exactly the right compositsion. Which was the proportion of reindeer moss tea and fly agaric extract in the mixture that Ella added into the bottle?

Nanna and Sofie move in the same direction along two parallel paths, which are $200$ meters apart. Nanna's speed is $3$ meters per second, Sofie's only $1$ meter per second. A tall, cylindrical building with a diameter of $100$ meters is located in the middle between the two paths. Since the building first once the line of sight breaks between the girls, their distance between them is $200$ metres. How long will it be before the two girls see each other again?

We call a polynomial $P(x)=a_dx^d+...+a_0$ of degree $d$ [i]nice[/i] if $$\frac{2021(|a_d|+...+|a_0|)}{2022}<max_{0 \le i \le d}|a_i|$$ Initially Shayan has a sequence of $d$ distinct real numbers; $r_1,...,r_d \neq \pm 1$. At each step he choose a positive integer $N>1$ and raises the $d$ numbers he has to the exponent of $N$, then delete the previous $d$ numbers and constructs a monic polynomial of degree $d$ with these number as roots, then examine whether it is nice or not. Prove that after some steps, all the polynomials that shayan produces would be nice polynomials Proposed by [i]Navid Safaei[/i]
