Each of the $9$ referees on the figure skating championship estimates the program of $20$ sportsmen by assigning him a place (from $1$ to $20$). The winner is determined by adding those numbers. (The less is the sum - the higher is the final place). It was found, that for the each sportsman, the difference of the places, received from the different referees was not greater than $3$. What can be the maximal sum for the winner?
Given a positive integer $x>1$ with $n$ divisors, define $f(x)$ to be the product of the smallest $\lceil\tfrac{n}{2}\rceil$ divisors of $x$. Let $a$ be the least value of $x$ such that $f(x)$ is a multiple of $X$, and $b$ be the least value of $n$ such that $f(y)$ is a multiple of $y$ for some $y$ that has exactly $n$ factors. Compute $a+b$.
For how many nonnegative integer values of $k$ does the equation $7x^2 +kx +11 = 0$ have no real solutions?
A positive integer is called a [b]double number[/b] if its decimal representation consists of a block of digits, not commencing with 0, followed immediately by an identical block. So, for instance, 360360 is a double number, but 36036 is not. Show that there are infinitely many double numbers which are perfect squares.
Let $k$ and $n$ be integers such that $k\ge 2$ and $k \le n \le 2k-1$. Place rectangular tiles, each of size $1 \times k$, or $k \times 1$ on a $n \times n$ chessboard so that each tile covers exactly $k$ cells and no two tiles overlap. Do this until no further tile can be placed in this way. For each such $k$ and $n$, determine the minimum number of tiles that such an arrangement may contain.
Let $u$ and $v$ be positive rational numbers with $u \ne v$. Assume that there are infinitely many positive integers $n$ with the property that $u^n - v^n$ are integers. Prove that $u$ and $v$ are integers.
Show that:

On a clock, there are two instants between $12$ noon and $1 \,\mathrm{PM}$, when the hour hand and the minute hannd are at right angles. The difference [i]in minutes[/i] between these two instants is written as $a + \dfrac{b}{c}$, where $a, b, c$ are positive integers, with $b < c$ and $b/c$ in the reduced form. What is the value of $a+b+c$?
