Let \( \varphi \) be the Euler's totient function. 1. For any given integer \( a > 1 \), does there exist \( l \in \mathbb{N}_+ \) such that for any \( k \in \mathbb{N}_+ \), \( l \mid k \) and \( a^2 \nmid l \), \( \frac{\varphi(k)}{\varphi(l)} \) is a non-negative power of \( a \)? 2. For integer \( x > a \), are there integers \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) satisfying: \[ \varphi(k_i) \in \left ( \frac{x}{a} ,x \right ], i = 1,2; \quad \varphi(k_1) \neq \varphi(k_2). \] And these two different \( k_i \) correspond to the same \( l_1 \) and \( l_2 \) as described in (1), yet \( \varphi(l_1) = \varphi(l_2) \). 3. Define \( \#E \) as the number of elements in set \( E \). For integer \( x > a \), let \( V(x) = \#\{v \in \mathbb{N}_+ \mid v = \varphi(k) \leq x\} \) and \( W(x) = \#\{w \in \mathbb{N}_+ \mid w = \varphi(l) \leq x, a^2 \mid l\} \). Compare \( V\left( \frac{x}{a} \right) \) with \( W(x) \).

The first digit of $N$ is $a$ and the second digit of $N$ is $b$. It is known that $N = a+b^2$. The first digit of $M$ is $b$ and the second digit of $M$ is $a$. By how many points do the Blue Devils win? [b]p4.[/b] Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with integer coefficients. It is known that $P(x)$ gives a remainder of $1$ upon polynomial division by $x + 1$ and a remainder of $2$ upon polynomial division by $x + 2$.

Dracula has to pick up buckets of blood from three rivers, in the following order: the Red River, which is the line $y = 10$; the Maroon River, which is the line $y = 0$; and the Slightly Crimson River, which is the line $x = 10$. After visiting all three rivers, Dracula must then bring the buckets of blood to a castle located at $(8,5)$. What is the shortest distance that Dracula can walk to accomplish this goal? [b]p6.[/b] Thirteen hungry zombies are sitting at a circular table at a restaurant. They have five identical plates of zombie food. Each plate is either in front of a zombie or between two zombies.
