We have $2015$ prisinoers.The king gives everyone a hat coloured in one of $5$ colors.Everyone sees all hats expect his own.Now,the King orders them in a line(a prisioner can see all guys behind and in front of him).The king asks the prisinoers one by one does he know the color of his hat.If he answers [b]NO[/b],then he is killed.If he answers [b]YES[/b],then answers which color is his hat,if his answers is true,he goes to freedom,if not,he is killed.All the prisinors can hear did he answer [b]YES[/b] or [b]NO[/b],but if he answered [b]YES[/b],they don't know what did he answered(he is killed in public).They can think of a strategy before the King comes,but after that they can't comunicate.What is the largest number of prisinors we can guarentee that can survive?

Let $n$ be a positive integer greater than $1$ and let us call an arbitrary set of cells in a $n\times n$ square $\textit{good}$ if they are the intersection cells of several rows and several columns, such that none of those cells lie on the main diagonal. What is the minimum number of pairwise disjoint $\textit{good}$ sets required to cover the entire table without the main diagonal?

Let $n > 1$ be a fixed integer. Alberto and Barbara play the following game: (i) Alberto chooses a positive integer, (ii) Barbara chooses an integer greater than $1$ which is a multiple or submultiple of the number Alberto chose (including itself), (iii) Alberto increases or decreases the Barbara’s number by $1$. Steps (ii) and (iii) are alternatively repeated. Barbara wins if she succeeds to reach the number $n$ in at most $50$ moves. For which values of $n$ can she win, no matter how Alberto plays?
