At the beginning of a two-player game, the number $2004!$ is written on the blackboard. The players move alternately. In each move, a positive integer smaller than the number on the blackboard and divisible by at most $20$ different prime numbers is chosen. This is subtracted from the number on the blackboard, which is erased and replaced by the difference. The winner is the player who obtains $0$. Does the player who goes first or the one who goes second have a guaranteed win, and how should that be achieved?

There are four entrances into Hades. Hermes brings you through one of them and drops you off at the shore of the river Acheron where you wait in a group with five other souls, each of which had already come through one of the entrances as well, to get a ride across. In how many ways could the other five souls have come through the entrances such that exactly two of them came through the same entrance as you did? The order in which the souls came through the entrances does not matter, and the entrance you went through is fixed.

Two men at points $R$ and $S$, $76$ miles apart, set out at the same time to walk towards each other. The man at $R$ walks uniformly at the rate of $4\dfrac{1}{2}$ miles per hour; the man at $S$ walks at the constant rate of $3\dfrac{1}{4}$ miles per hour for the first hour, at $3\dfrac{3}{4}$ miles per hour for the second hour, and so on, in arithmetic progression.
