$12$ friends play a tennis tournament, where each plays only one game with any of the other eleven. Winner gets one points. Loser getos zero points, and there is no draw. Final points of the participants are $B_1, B_2, ..., B_{12}$. Find the largest possible value of the sum $\Sigma_3=B_1^3+B_2^3+ ... + B_{12}^3$ .

If we divide the number $13$ by the three numbers $5, 7$, and $9$, then these divisions leave remainders: when dividing by $5$ the remainder is $3$, when dividing by $7$ the remainder is $6$, and when dividing by $9$ the remainder is 4. If we add these remainders, we obtain $3 + 6 + 4 = 13$, the original number.
(a) Let $n$ be a positive integer and let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers smaller than $n$. Prove: if you divide $n$ by $a$ and $b$, then the sum of the two remainders never equals $n$.
(b) Determine all integers $n > 229$ having the property that if you divide $n$ by $99, 132$, and $229$, the sum of the three remainders is $n$.

Suppose a real number $a$ is a root of a polynomial with integer coefficients $P(x)=a_nx^n+a_{n-1}x^{n-1}+...+a_1x+a_0$. Let $G=|a_n|+|a_{n-1}|+...+|a_1|+|a_0|$. We say that $G$ is a [i]gingado [/i] of $a$.
For example, as $2$ is root of $P(x)=x^2-x-2$, $G=|1|+|-1|+|-2|=4$, we say that $4$ is a [i]gingado[/i] of $2$. What is the fourth largest real number $a$ such that $3$ is a [i]gingado [/i] of $a$?

Consider all nine-digit numbers, consisting of non-repeating digits from $1$ to $9$ in an arbitrary order. A pair of such numbers is called “conditional” if their sum is equal to $987654321$.
(a) Prove that there exist at least two conditional pairs (noting that ($a,b$) and ($b,a$) is considered to be one pair).
(b) Prove that the number of conditional pairs is odd.

There are $2n + 1$ tickets, each with a unique positive integer as the ticket number. It is known that the sum of all ticket numbers is more than $2330$, but the sum of any $n$ ticket numbers is at most $1165$. What is the maximum value of $n$?

Draw a line passing through a point $M$ on the angle bisector of the angle $\angle AOB$, that intersects $OA$ and $OB$ at points $K$ and $L$ respectively. Prove that the valus of the sum $\frac{1}{|OK|}+\frac{1}{|OL|}$ does not depend on the choice of the straight line passing through $M$, i.e. is defined by the size of the angle AOB and the selection of the point $M$ only.
