Two people, $A$ and $B$, play the following game: $A$ start choosing a positive integrer number and then, each player in it's turn, say a number due to the following rule:
If the last number said was odd, the player add $7$ to this number;
If the last number said was even, the player divide it by $2$.
The winner is the player that repeats the first number said. Find all numbers that $A$ can choose in order to win. Justify your answer.

In the coordinate space, define a square $S$, defined by the inequality $|x|\leq 1,\ |y|\leq 1$ on the $xy$-plane, with four vertices $A(-1,\ 1,\ 0),\ B(1,\ 1,\ 0),\ C(1,-1,\ 0), D(-1,-1,\ 0)$. Let $V_1$ be the solid by a rotation of the square $S$ about the line $BD$ as the axis of rotation, and let $V_2$ be the solid by a rotation of the square $S$ about the line $AC$ as the axis of rotation.
(1) For a real number $t$ such that $0\leq t<1$, find the area of cross section of $V_1$ cut by the plane $x=t$.
(2) Find the volume of the common part of $V_1$ and $V_2$.

P.S. This is the only problem from VMO 1996 I cannot find a solution or I cannot solve. But I'm not good at all in combinatoric...

(Russia 1195) If x, y > 0, prove that
x/(x^4 + y^2) + y/(y^4 + x^2) <= 1/(xy)
Thoughts?
By the way, this was in Kiran Kedlaya's MOP notes and said to be from Russia 1995, but John Scholes' Kalva archive doesn't have this problem under Russia 1995. Odd.
Hint:

- One person should book at most one admission ticket for one match;
- At most one match was same in the tickets booked by every two persons;
- There was one person who booked six tickets.
How many tickets did those football fans book at most?
