An integer number $m\geq 1$ is [i]mexica[/i] if it's of the form $n^{d(n)}$, where $n$ is a positive integer and $d(n)$ is the number of positive integers which divide $n$. Find all mexica numbers less than $2019$. Note. The divisors of $n$ include $1$ and $n$; for example, $d(12)=6$, since $1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12$ are all the positive divisors of $12$.

Consider a charged capacitor made with two square plates of side length $L$, uniformly charged, and separated by a very small distance $d$. The EMF across the capacitor is $\xi$. One of the plates is now rotated by a very small angle $\theta$ to the original axis of the capacitor. Find an expression for the difference in charge between the two plates of the capacitor, in terms of (if necessary) $d$, $\theta$, $\xi$, and $L$. Also, approximate your expression by transforming it to algebraic form: i.e. without any non-algebraic functions. For example, logarithms and trigonometric functions are considered non-algebraic. Assume $ d << L $ and $ \theta \approx 0 $. $\emph{Hint}$: You may assume that $ \frac {\theta L}{d} $ is also very small. [i]Problem proposed by Trung Phan[/i] [hide="Clarification"] There are two possible ways to rotate the capacitor. Both were equally scored but this is what was meant: [asy]size(6cm); real h = 7; real w = 2; draw((-w,0)--(-w,h)); draw((0,0)--(0,h), dashed); draw((0,0)--h*dir(64)); draw(arc((0,0),2,64,90)); label("$\theta$", 2*dir(77), dir(77)); [/asy] [/hide]

For every $x \ge -\frac{1}{e}\,$, there is a unique number $W(x) \ge -1$ such that \[ W(x) e^{W(x)} = x. \] The function $W$ is called Lambert's $W$ function. Let $y$ be the unique positive number such that \[ \frac{y}{\log_{2} y} = - \frac{3}{5} \, . \] The value of $y$ is of the form $e^{-W(z \ln 2)}$ for some rational number $z$. What is the value of $z$?

Given are $10$ distinct real numbers. Kyle wrote down the square of the difference for each pair of those numbers in his notebook, while Peter wrote in his notebook the absolute value of the differences of the squares of these numbers.
