A $\textit{cubic sequence}$ is a sequence of integers given by $a_n =n^3 + bn^2 + cn + d$, where $b, c$ and $d$ are integer constants and $n$ ranges over all integers, including negative integers.

satisfying the condition in part $\textbf{(a)}$.
A positive integer $M$ has been represented as a product of primes. Each of these primes is increased by 1 . The product $N$ of the new multipliers is divisible by $M$ . Prove that if we represent $N$ as a product of primes and increase each of them by 1 then the product of the new multipliers will be divisible by $N$ .

At the round table, $10$ people are sitting, some of them are knights, and the rest are liars (knights always say pride, and liars always lie) . It is clear thath I have at least one knight and at least one liar.
What is the largest number of those sitting at the table can say: ''Both of my neighbors are knights '' ?

Let $k$ be a positive real. $A$ and $B$ play the following game: at the start, there are $80$ zeroes arrange around a circle. Each turn, $A$ increases some of these $80$ numbers, such that the total sum added is $1$. Next, $B$ selects ten consecutive numbers with the largest sum, and reduces them all to $0$. $A$ then wins the game if he/she can ensure that at least one of the number is $\geq k$ at some finite point of time.
Determine all $k$ such that $A$ can always win the game.

Are there any triples $(a,b,c)$, for which the equality holds?
