Determine all pairs of natural numbers, the components of which have the same number of digits and the double of their product is equal with the number formed by concatenating them.

A and B are friends at a summer school. When B asks A for his address, he answers: "My house is on XYZ street, and my house number is a 3-digit number with distinct digits, and if you permute its digits, you will have other 5 numbers. The interesting thing is that the sum of these 5 numbers is exactly 2017. That's all.". After a while, B can determine A's house number. And you, can you find his house number?

Pasha and Vova play the following game, making moves in turn; Pasha moves first. Initially, they have a large piece of plasticine. By a move, Pasha cuts one of the existing pieces into three(of arbitrary sizes), and Vova merges two existing pieces into one. Pasha wins if at some point there appear to be $100$ pieces of equal weights. Can Vova prevent Pasha's win?

Let $S = \{1, 2, 3, \ldots , 2046, 2047, 2048\}$. Two subsets $A$ and $B$ of $S$ are said to be [i]friends[/i] if the following conditions are true: [list] [*] They do not share any elements. [*] They both have the same number of elements. [*] The product of all elements from $A$ equals the product of all elements from $B$. [/list] Prove that there are two subsets of $S$ that are [i]friends[/i] such that each one of them contains at least $738$ elements.
