For $A\subset\mathbb Z$ and $a,b\in\mathbb Z$. We define $aA+b: =\{ax+b|x\in A\}$. If $a\neq0$ then we calll $aA+b$ and $A$ to similar sets. In this question the Cantor set $C$ is the number of non-negative integers that in their base-3 representation there is no $1$ digit. You see \[C=(3C)\dot\cup(3C+2)\ \ \ \ \ \ (1)\] (i.e. $C$ is partitioned to sets $3C$ and $3C+2$). We give another example $C=(3C)\dot\cup(9C+6)\dot\cup(3C+2)$. A representation of $C$ is a partition of $C$ to some similiar sets. i.e. \[C=\bigcup_{i=1}^{n}C_{i}\ \ \ \ \ \ (2)\] and $C_{i}=a_{i}C+b_{i}$ are similar to $C$. We call a representation of $C$ a primitive representation iff union of some of $C_{i}$ is not a set similar and not equal to $C$. Consider a primitive representation of Cantor set. Prove that a) $a_{i}>1$. b) $a_{i}$ are powers of 3. c) $a_{i}>b_{i}$ d) (1) is the only primitive representation of $C$.

On a board, there are $n$ equations in the form $*x^2+*x+*$. Two people play a game where they take turns. During a turn, you are aloud to change a star into a number not equal to zero. After $3n$ moves, there will be $n$ quadratic equations. The first player is trying to make more of the equations not have real roots, while the second player is trying to do the opposite. What is the maximum number of equations that the first player can create without real roots no matter how the second player acts?

Two players, Red and Blue, play in alternating turns on a 10x10 board. Blue goes first. In his turn, a player picks a row or column (not chosen by any player yet) and color all its squares with his own color. If any of these squares was already colored, the new color substitutes the old one. The game ends after 20 turns, when all rows and column were chosen. Red wins if the number of red squares in the board exceeds at least by 10 the number of blue squares; otherwise Blue wins. Determine which player has a winning strategy and describe this strategy.
