Define the function $m$ of the three real variables $x$, $y$, $z$ by $m$($x$,$y$,$z$) = max($x^2$,$y^2$,$z^2$), $x$, $y$, $z$ ∈ $R$.

Let $\Gamma = \{\varepsilon,0,00,\ldots\}$ be the set of all finite strings consisting of only zeroes. We consider $\textit{six-state unary DFAs}$ $D = (F,q_0,\delta)$ where $F$ is a subset of $Q = \{1,2,3,4,5,6\}$, not necessarily strict and possibly empty; $q_0\in Q$ is some $\textit{start state}$; and $\delta: Q\rightarrow Q$ is the $\textit{transition function}$.
For each such DFA $D$, we associate a set $F_D\subseteq\Gamma$ as the set of all strings $w\in\Gamma$ such that
\[\underbrace{\delta(\cdots(\delta(q_0))\cdots)}_{|w|\text{ applications}}\in F,\]
We say a set $\mathcal D$ of DFAs is $\textit{diverse}$ if for all $D_1,D_2\in\mathcal D$ we have $F_{D_1}\neq F_{D_2}$. What is the maximum size of a diverse set?

A $k$-coloring of a graph $G$ is a coloring of its vertices using $k$ possible colors such that the end points of any edge have different colors. We say a graph $G$ is uniquely $k$-colorable if one hand it has a $k$-coloring, on the other hand there do not exist vertices $u$ and $v$ such that $u$ and $v$ have the same color in one $k$-coloring and $u$ and $v$ have different colors in another $k$-coloring. Prove that if a graph $G$ with $n$ vertices $(n \ge 3)$ is uniquely $3$-colorable, then it has at least $2n-3$ edges.
