There are $2019$ students sitting around circular table. Initially each of them have one candy. Teacher is allowed to pick one student, who has at least one can candy, and this student can decide, whether he gives his candy to his neighbour on the right or on the left. Prove that no matter what students teacher picks during the process, students can always ensure that any point of time no student has more than $2$ candies.

Two cyclists leave simultaneously a point $P$ in a circular runway with constant velocities $v_1, v_2 (v_1 > v_2)$ and in the same sense. A pedestrian leaves $P$ at the same time, moving with velocity $v_3 = \frac{v_1+v_2}{12}$ . If the pedestrian and the cyclists move in opposite directions, the pedestrian meets the second cyclist $91$ seconds after he meets the first. If the pedestrian moves in the same direction as the cyclists, the first cyclist overtakes him $187$ seconds before the second does. Find the point where the first cyclist overtakes the second cyclist the first time.

Jon wrote the $n$ smallest perfect squares on one sheet of paper, and the $n$ smallest triangular numbers on another (note that $0$ is both square and triangular). Jon notices that there are the same number of triangular numbers on the first paper as there are squares on the second paper, but if $n$ had been one smaller, this would not have been true. If $n < 2008$, let $m$ be the greatest number Jon could have written on either paper. Find the remainder when $m$ is divided by $2008$.
