Fix a positive integer $n$ and a fi nite graph with at least one edge; the endpoints of each edge are distinct, and any two vertices are joined by at most one edge. Vertices and edges are assigned (not necessarily distinct) numbers in the range from $0$ to $n-1$, one number each. A vertex assignment and an edge assignment are [i]compatible[/i] if the following condition is satisfi ed at each vertex $v$: The number assigned to $v$ is congruent modulo $n$ to the sum of the numbers assigned to the edges incident to $v$. Fix a vertex assignment and let $N$ be the total number of compatible edge assignments; compatibility refers, of course, to the fixed vertex assignment. Prove that, if $N \neq 0$, then the prime divisors of $N$ are all at most $n$.

Lizzie writes a list of fractions as follows. First, she writes $\frac11$, the only fraction whose numerator and denominator add to $2$. Then she writes the two fractions whose numerator and denominator add to $3$, in increasing order of denominator. Then she writes the three fractions whose numerator and denominator sum to $4$ in increasing order of denominator. She continues in this way until she has written all the fractions whose numerator and denominator sum to at most $1000$. So Lizzie's list looks like: $$\frac11, \frac21, \frac12 , \frac31 , \frac22, \frac13, \frac41, \frac32, \frac23, \frac14, ..., \frac{1}{999}.$$ Let $p_k$ be the product of the first $k$ fractions in Lizzie's list. Find, with proof, the value of $p_1 + p_2 + ...+ p_{499500}$.

In the creation of the world there is a lonely island inhabited by dragons, snakes and crocodiles. Every inhabitant eats once a day: every snake eats one dragon for breakfast, every dragon eats one crocodile for lunch and every crocodile eats a snake for dinner. Find the total number of dragons, snakes and crocodiles on the island immediately after the creation of the world (at the beginning of the first day), when, at the end of the sixth day, there is only one inhabitant alive on the island, only one crocodile and during these six days none of the inhabitants of the island considered any to give up their meals due to lack of food.
