Board with dimesions $2018 \times 2018$ is divided in unit cells $1 \times 1$. In some cells of board are placed black chips and in some white chips (in every cell maximum is one chip). Firstly we remove all black chips from columns which contain white chips, and then we remove all white chips from rows which contain black chips. If $W$ is number of remaining white chips, and $B$ number of remaining black chips on board and $A=min\{W,B\}$, determine maximum of $A$

Determine the largest integer $N$, for which there exists a $6\times N$ table $T$ that has the following properties:
$*$ Every column contains the numbers $1,2,\ldots,6$ in some ordering.
$*$ For any two columns $i\ne j$, there exists a row $r$ such that $T(r,i)= T(r,j)$.
$*$ For any two columns $i\ne j$, there exists a row $s$ such that $T(s,i)\ne T(s,j)$.

A unit square has a circle of radius $r$ with center at it's midpoint. The four quarter circles are centered on the vertices of the square and are tangent to the central circle (see figure). Find the maximum and minimum possible value of the area of the striped figure in the figure and the corresponding values of $r$ such these, the maximum and minimum are achieved.

Let $X$ be the set of natural numbers whose all digits in the decimal representation are different. For $n \in N$, denote by $A_n$ the set of numbers whose digits are a permutation of the digits of $n$, and $d_n$ be the greatest common divisor of the numbers in $A_n$. (For example, $A_{1120} =\{112,121,...,2101,2110\}$, so $d_{1120} = 1$.)
Find the maximum possible value of $d_n$.

We write $\{a,b,c\}$ for the set of three different positive integers $a, b$, and $c$. By choosing some or all of the numbers a, b and c, we can form seven nonempty subsets of $\{a,b,c\}$. We can then calculate the sum of the elements of each subset. For example, for the set $\{4,7,42\}$ we will find sums of $4, 7, 42,11, 46, 49$, and $53$ for its seven subsets. Since $7, 11$, and $53$ are prime, the set $\{4,7,42\}$ has exactly three subsets whose sums are prime. (Recall that prime numbers are numbers with exactly two different factors, $1$ and themselves. In particular, the number $1$ is not prime.)
What is the largest possible number of subsets with prime sums that a set of three different positive integers can have? Give an example of a set $\{a,b,c\}$ that has that number of subsets with prime sums, and explain why no other three-element set could have more.
