An integer $c$ is [i]square-friendly[/i] if it has the following property: For every integer $m$, the number $m^2+18m+c$ is a perfect square. (A perfect square is a number of the form $n^2$, where $n$ is an integer. For example, $49 = 7^2$ is a perfect square while $46$ is not a perfect square. Further, as an example, $6$ is not [i]square-friendly[/i] because for $m = 2$, we have $(2)2 +(18)(2)+6 = 46$, and $46$ is not a perfect square.) In fact, exactly one square-friendly integer exists. Show that this is the case by doing the following: (a) Find a square-friendly integer, and prove that it is square-friendly. (b) Prove that there cannot be two different square-friendly integers.

Let $n$ be an integer greater than $1.$ $n$ pupils are seated around a round table, each having a certain number of candies (it is possible that some pupils don't have a candy) such that the sum of all the candies they possess is a multiple of $n.$ They exchange their candies as follows: For each student's candies at first, there is at least a student who has more candies than the student sitting to his/her right side, in which case, the student on the right side is given a candy by that student. After a round of exchanging, if there is at least a student who has candies greater than the right side student, then he/she will give a candy to the next student sitting to his/her right side. Prove that after the exchange of candies is completed (ie, when it reaches equilibrium), all students have the same number of candies.

A total fixed amount of $N$ thousand rupees is given to $A,B,C$ every year, each being given an amount proportional to her age. In the first year, A got half the total amount. When the sixth payment was made, A got six-seventh of the amount that she had in the first year; B got 1000 Rs less than that she had in the first year, and C got twice of that she had in the first year. Find N.

Let $E$ denote the set of all natural numbers $n$ such that $3 < n < 100$ and the set $\{ 1, 2, 3, \ldots , n\}$ can be partitioned in to $3$ subsets with equal sums. Find the number of elements of $E$.

Four coins are laid out on a table so that they form the corners of a square. One move consists of tipping one of the coins by letting it jump over one of the others the coin so that it ends up on the directly opposite side of the other coin, the same distance from as it was before the move was made. Is it possible to make a number of moves so that the coins ends up in the corners of a square with a different side length than the original square?
