Let $n \geq 2$ be an integer. Carl has $n$ books arranged on a bookshelf. Each book has a height and a width. No two books have the same height, and no two books have the same width. Initially, the books are arranged in increasing order of height from left to right. In a move, Carl picks any two adjacent books where the left book is wider and shorter than the right book, and swaps their locations. Carl does this repeatedly until no further moves are possible. Prove that regardless of how Carl makes his moves, he must stop after a finite number of moves, and when he does stop, the books are sorted in increasing order of width from left to right.

1952 Putnam, B1
A mathematical moron is given two sides and the included angle of a triangle and attempts to use the Law of Cosines: $a^2 = b^2 + c^2 - 2bc \cos A,$ to find the third side $a.$ He uses logarithms as follows. He finds $\log b$ and doubles it; adds to that the double of $\log c;$ subtracts the sum of the logarithms of $2, b, c,$ and $\cos A;$ divides the result by $2;$ and takes the anti-logarithm. Although his method may be open to suspicion his computation is accurate. What are the necessary and sufficient conditions on the triangle that this method should yield the correct result?

There is a set of triangles, in each of which the smallest angle does not exceed $36^o$ . A new one is formed from these triangles according to the following rule: the smallest side of the new one is equal to the sum of the smallest sides of these triangles, its middle side is equal to the sum of the middle sides, and the largest is the sum of the largest ones. Prove that the sine of the smallest angle of the resulting triangle is less than $2 \sin 18^o$ .

These ingredients can be either bacon, mayo, or tomato, and ingredients of the same type are indistiguishable. If there must be at least one of each ingredient in the sandwich, and the order in which the ingredients are placed in the sandwich matters, how many possible ways are there to prepare a BMT sandwich?
