The Fort Worth Zoo has a number of two-legged birds and a number of four-legged mammals. On one visit to the zoo, Margie counted 200 heads and 522 legs. How many of the animals that Margie counted were two-legged birds?

Given two 2's, "plus" can be changed to "times" without changing the result: 2+2=2·2. The solution with three numbers is easy too: 1+2+3=1·2·3. There are three answers for the five-number case. Which five numbers with this property has the largest sum?

Let's call integer square-free if it's not divisible by $p^2$ for any prime $p$. You are given a square-free integer $n>1$, which has exactly $d$ positive divisors. Find the largest number of its divisors that you can choose, such that $a^2 + ab - n$ isn't a square of an integer for any $a, b$ among chosen divisors.
