By one magic nut, Wicked Witch can either turn a flea into a beetle or a spider into a bug; while by one magic acorn, she can either turn a flea into a spider or a beetle into a bug. In the evening Wicked Witch had spent 20 magic nuts and 23 magic acorns. By these actions, the number of beetles increased by 5. Determine what was the change in the number of spiders. (Find all possible answers and prove that the other answers are impossible.)

Fix a positive integer $n$. Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots$ be a sequence of positive integers such that for all $1 \leq j \leq n$, $a_j=j$, and for all $j>n$, $a_j$ is the largest value of $\min(a_i,a_{j-i})$ among $i=1,2, \ldots j-1$. For example, if $n=3$, we have $a_1=1$, $a_2=2$, $a_3=3$, and $a_4=2$ since $\min(a_1,a_3)=1$, $\min(a_2,a_2)=2$, and $\min(a_3,a_1)=1$. We will determine the values of $a_k$ for sufficiently large $k$. (a) Show that $a_i \in \{1,2,3, \ldots n\}$ for all $i$. (b) Show that if $a_x \geq n-1$ and $a_y \geq n-1$, $a_{x+y} \geq n-1$. (c) Show that for some positive integer $N$, $a_k \in \{n-1,n\}$ for all $k \geq N$. (d) Show that $a_k = n$ if and only if $n \mid k$.

A country has 1001 cities, and each two cities are connected by a one-way street. From each city exactly 500 roads begin, and in each city 500 roads end. Now an independent republic splits itself off the country, which contains 668 of the 1001 cities. Prove that one can reach every other city of the republic from each city of this republic without being forced to leave the republic.
