A company has $n$ employees. It is known that each of the employees works at least one of the $7$ days of the week, with the exception of an employee who does not work any of the $7$ days. Furthermore, for any two of these $n$ employees, there are at least $3$ days of the week in which one of the two works that day and the other does not (it is not necessarily the same employee who works those days). Determine the highest possible value of $n$.
There are $2n + 1$ tickets, each with a unique positive integer as the ticket number. It is known that the sum of all ticket numbers is more than $2330$, but the sum of any $n$ ticket numbers is at most $1165$. What is the maximum value of $n$?
Given an equilateral triangle with sidelength $k$ cm. With lines parallel to it's sides, we split it into $k^2$ small equilateral triangles with sidelength $1$ cm. This way, a triangular grid is created. In every small triangle of sidelength $1$ cm, we place exactly one integer from $1$ to $k^2$ (included), such that there are no such triangles having the same numbers. With vertices the points of the grid, regular hexagons are defined of sidelengths $1$ cm. We shall name as [i]value [/i] of the hexagon, the sum of the numbers that lie on the $6$ small equilateral triangles that the hexagon consists of . Find (in terms of the integer $k>4$) the maximum and the minimum value of the sum of the values of all hexagons .
Let $n\geq 2$ be an integer. For each $k$-tuple of positive integers $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_k$ such that $a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_k=n$, consider the sums $S_i=1+2+\ldots +a_i$ for $1\leq i\leq k$. Determine, in terms of $n$, the maximum possible value of the product $S_1S_2\cdots S_k$.
