A positive rational number is written on the blackboard. Every minute Vasya replaces the number $ r $ written on the board with $ \sqrt {r + 1} $. Prove that someday he will get an irrational number.
Sixteen dots are arranged in a four by four grid as shown. The distance between any two dots in the grid is the minimum number of horizontal and vertical steps along the grid lines it takes to get from one dot to the other. For example, two adjacent dots are a distance 1 apart, and two dots at opposite corners of the grid are a distance 6 apart. The mean distance between two distinct dots in the grid is $\frac{m}{n}$, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$.
Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.

A clue “$k$ digits, sum is $n$” gives a number k and the sum of $k$ distinct, nonzero digits. An answer for that clue consists of $k$ digits with sum $n$. For example, the clue “Three digits, sum is $23$” has only one answer: $6,8,9$. The clue “Three digits, sum is $8$” has two answers: $1,3,4$ and $1,2,5$.
If the clue “Four digits, sum is $n$” has the largest number of answers for any four-digit clue, then what is the value of $n$? How many answers does this clue have? Explain why no other four-digit clue can have more answers.
