Let $n \geq 2$ be a fixed integer. Find the least constant $C$ such the inequality \[\sum_{i<j} x_{i}x_{j} \left(x^{2}_{i}+x^{2}_{j} \right) \leq C \left(\sum_{i}x_{i} \right)^4\] holds for any $x_{1}, \ldots ,x_{n} \geq 0$ (the sum on the left consists of $\binom{n}{2}$ summands). For this constant $C$, characterize the instances of equality.

Let $x_1$, $x_2$, ..., $x_n$ be real numbers with arithmetic mean $X$. Prove that there is a positive integer $K$ such that for any integer $i$ satisfying $0\leq i<K$, we have $\frac{1}{K-i}\sum_{j=i+1}^{K} x_j \leq X$.

Let $n > 2$ be an integer and let $\ell \in \{1, 2,\dots, n\}$. A collection $A_1,\dots,A_k$ of (not necessarily distinct) subsets of $\{1, 2,\dots, n\}$ is called $\ell$-large if $|A_i| \ge \ell$ for all $1 \le i \le k$.
