We have $10$ points on a line $A_1,A_2\ldots A_{10}$ in that order. Initially there are $n$ chips on point $A_1$. Now we are allowed to perform two types of moves.

In a chess tournament each player plays every other player once. A player gets 1 point for a win, 0.5 point for a draw and 0 for a loss. Both men and women played in the tournament and each player scored the same total of points against women as against men. Show that the total number of players must be a square.

A student performed an experiment to determine the ratio of $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ to $\text{CuSO}_4$ in a sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate by heating it to drive off the water and weighing the solid before and after heating. The formula obtained experimentally was $\text{CuSO}_4 \bullet 5.5\text{H}_2\text{O}$ but the accepted formula is $\text{CuSO}_4 \bullet 5 \text{H}_2\text{O}$. Which error best accounts for the difference in results? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{During heating some of the hydrated copper(II) sulfate was lost} \qquad$ $\textbf{(B)}\ \text{The hydrated sample was not heated long enough to drive off all the water}\qquad$ $\textbf{(C)}\ \text{The student weighed out too much sample initially.} \qquad$ $\textbf{(D)}\ \text{The student used a balance that gave weights that were consistently too high by 0.10 g }\qquad$
