For all sets $A$ of complex numbers, let $P(A)$ be the product of the elements of $A$. Let $S_z = \{1, 2, 9, 99, 999, \frac{1}{z},\frac{1}{z^2}\}$, let $T_z$ be the set of nonempty subsets of $S_z$ (including $S_z$), and let $f(z) = 1 + \sum_{s\in T_z} P(s)$. Suppose $f(z) = 6125000$ for some complex number $z$. Compute the product of all possible values of $z$.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. $S_1, S_2, \ldots, S_n$ are pairwise non-intersecting sets, and $S_k $ has exactly $k$ elements $(k = 1, 2, \ldots, n)$. Define $S = S_1\cup S_2\cup\cdots \cup S_n$. The function $f: S \to S $ maps all elements in $S_k$ to a fixed element of $S_k$, $k = 1, 2, \ldots, n$. Find the number of functions $g: S \to S$ satisfying $f(g(f(x))) = f(x).$

In a graph with $n$ vertices every two vertices are connected by a unique path. For each two vertices $u$ and $v$, let $d(u, v)$ denote the distance
between $u$ and $v$, i.e. the number of edges in the path connecting these two vertices, and $\deg(u)$ denote the degree of a vertex $u$. Let $W$ be the sum of pairwise distances between the vertices, and $D$ the sum of weighted pairwise distances: $\sum_{\{u, v\}}(\deg(u)+\deg(v))d(u, v)$. Prove that $D=4W-n(n-1)$.

You have 2020 piles of coins in front Of you. The first pile contains 1 coin, the second pile contains 2 coins, the third pile contains 3 coins and so on. So, the 2020th pile contains 2020 coins. Guess a positive integer[b] k[/b], in which piles contain at least[b] k [/b]coins, take away exact[b] k[/b] coins from these piles. Find the [b]minimum number of turns[/b] you need to take way all of these coins?

Petya and Kolya play the following game: they take turns changing one of the coefficients $a$ or $b$ of the quadratic trinomial $f = x^2 + ax + b$: Petya is on $1$, Kolya is on $1$ or $3$. Kolya wins if after the move of one of the players a trinomial is obtained that has whole roots. Is it true that Kolya can win for any initial integer odds $a$ and $b$ regardless of Petya's game?
[hide=original wording]Петя и Коля играют в следующую игру: они по очереди изменяют один из коэффициентов a или b квадратного трехчлена f = x^2 + ax + b: Петя на 1, Коля- на 1 или на 3. Коля выигрывает, если после хода одного из игроков получается трехчлен, имеющий целые корни. Верно ли,
что Коля может выигратьпр и любых начальных целых коэффициентах a и b независимо от игры Пети?[/hide]

A company has $n$ employees. It is known that each of the employees works at least one of the $7$ days of the week, with the exception of an employee who does not work any of the $7$ days. Furthermore, for any two of these $n$ employees, there are at least $3$ days of the week in which one of the two works that day and the other does not (it is not necessarily the same employee who works those days). Determine the highest possible value of $n$.

The numbers $ 0$, $ 1$, $ \dots$, $ n$ ($ n \ge 2$) are written on a blackboard. In each step we erase an integer which is the arithmetic mean of two different numbers which are still left on the blackboard. We make such steps until no further integer can be erased. Let $ g(n)$ be the smallest possible number of integers left on the blackboard at the end. Find $ g(n)$ for every $ n$.
