$a,b,c$ are reals, such that every pair of equations of $x^3-ax^2+b=0,x^3-bx^2+c=0,x^3-cx^2+a=0$ has common root. Prove $a=b=c$
A pile contains $2021^{2021}$ stones. In a move any pile can be divided into two piles so that the numbers of stones in them differ by a power of $2$ with non-negative integer exponent. After some move it turned out that the number of stones in each pile is a power of $2$ with non-negative integer exponent. Prove that the number of moves performed was even.
[i](a)[/i] Determine if the set $ \{1,2,\ldots,96\}$ can be partitioned into 32 sets of equal size and equal sum. [i](b)[/i] Determine if the set $ \{1,2,\ldots,99\}$ can be partitioned into 33 sets of equal size and equal sum.
Consider the set of all strictly decreasing sequences of $n$ natural numbers having the property that in each sequence no term divides any other term of the sequence. Let $A = (a_j)$ and $B = (b_j)$ be any two such sequences. We say that $A$ precedes $B$ if for some $k$, $a_k < b_k$ and $a_i = b_i$ for $i < k$. Find the terms of the first sequence of the set under this ordering.
A biologist found a pond with frogs. When classifying them by their mass, he noticed the following: [i]The $50$ lightest frogs represented $30\%$ of the total mass of all the frogs in the pond, while the $44$ heaviest frogs represented $27\%$ of the total mass. [/i]As fate would have it, the frogs escaped and the biologist only has the above information. How many frogs were in the pond?
Let $N$ be the number of ordered 5-tuples $(a_{1}, a_{2}, a_{3}, a_{4}, a_{5})$ of positive integers satisfying $\frac{1}{a_{1}}+\frac{1}{a_{2}}+\frac{1}{a_{3}}+\frac{1}{a_{4}}+\frac{1}{a_{5}}=1$ Is $N$ even or odd? Oh and [b]HINTS ONLY[/b], please do not give full solutions. Thanks.

A regular tetrahedron of height $h$ has a tetrahedron of height $xh$ cut off by a plane parallel to the base. When the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, it is just on the point of falling over. (In other words, when the remaining frustrum is placed on one of its slant faces on a horizontal plane, the projection of the center of gravity G of the frustrum is a point of the minor base of this slant face.) Show that $x$ is a root of the equation $x^3 + x^2 + x = 2$.
