Consider the set $A = \left\{\frac{j}{4}+\frac{100}{j}|j=1,2,3,..\right\} $ What is the smallest number that belongs to the $ A $ set?
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 .

Alice drew a regular $2021$-gon in the plane. Bob then labeled each vertex of the $2021$-gon with a real number, in such a way that the labels of consecutive vertices differ by at most $1$. Then, for every pair of non-consecutive vertices whose labels differ by at most $1$, Alice drew a diagonal connecting them. Let $d$ be the number of diagonals Alice drew. Find the least possible value that $d$ can obtain.
