On Qingqing Grassland, there are 7 sheep numberd $1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and 2017 wolves numberd $1,2,\cdots,2017$. We have such strange rules: (1) Define $P(n)$: the number of prime numbers that are smaller than $n$. Only when $P(i)\equiv j\pmod7$, wolf $i$ may eat sheep $j$ (he can also choose not to eat the sheep). (2) If wolf $i$ eat sheep $j$, he will immediately turn into sheep $j$. (3) If a wolf can make sure not to be eaten, he really wants to experience life as a sheep. Assume that all wolves are very smart, then how many wolves will remain in the end?
There are three colleges in a town. Each college has $n$ students. Any student of any college knows $n+1$ students of the other two colleges. Prove that it is possible to choose a student from each of the three colleges so that all three students would know each other.
Consider the set $S$ of integers $k$ which are products of four distinct primes. Such an integer $k=p_1p_2p_3p_4$ has $16$ positive divisors $1=d_1<d_2<\ldots <d_{15}<d_{16}=k$. Find all elements of $S$ less than $2002$ such that $d_9-d_8=22$.
A company sells detergent in three different sized boxes: small (S), medium (M) and large (L). The medium size costs $50\%$ more than the small size and contains $20\%$ less detergent than the large size. The large size contains twice as much detergent as the small size and costs $30\%$ more than the medium size. Rank the three sizes from best to worst buy. $ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{SML}\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \text{LMS}\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \text{MSL}\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \text{LSM}\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \text{MLS} $
