Emily’s broken clock runs backwards at five times the speed of a regular clock. Right now, it is displaying the wrong time. How many times will it display the correct time in the next 24 hours? It is an analog clock (i.e. a clock with hands), so it only displays the numerical time, not AM or PM. Emily’s clock also does not tick, but rather updates continuously.

Given an integer $n>1$ and a $n\times n$ grid $ABCD$ containing $n^2$ unit squares, each unit square is colored by one of three colors: Black, white and gray. A coloring is called [i]symmetry[/i] if each unit square has center on diagonal $AC$ is colored by gray and every couple of unit squares which are symmetry by $AC$ should be both colred by black or white. In each gray square, they label a number $0$, in a white square, they will label a positive integer and in a black square, a negative integer. A label will be called $k$-[i]balance[/i] (with $k\in\mathbb{Z}^+$) if it satisfies the following requirements: i) Each pair of unit squares which are symmetry by $AC$ are labelled with the same integer from the closed interval $[-k,k]$ ii) If a row and a column intersectes at a square that is colored by black, then the set of positive integers on that row and the set of positive integers on that column are distinct.If a row and a column intersectes at a square that is colored by white, then the set of negative integers on that row and the set of negative integers on that column are distinct. a) For $n=5$, find the minimum value of $k$ such that there is a $k$-balance label for the following grid [asy] size(4cm); pair o = (0,0); pair y = (0,5); pair z = (5,5); pair t = (5,0); dot("$A$", y, dir(180)); dot("$B$", z); dot("$C$", t); dot("$D$", o, dir(180)); fill((0,5)--(1,5)--(1,4)--(0,4)--cycle,gray); fill((1,4)--(2,4)--(2,3)--(1,3)--cycle,gray); fill((2,3)--(3,3)--(3,2)--(2,2)--cycle,gray); fill((3,2)--(4,2)--(4,1)--(3,1)--cycle,gray); fill((4,1)--(5,1)--(5,0)--(4,0)--cycle,gray); fill((0,3)--(1,3)--(1,1)--(0,1)--cycle,black); fill((2,5)--(4,5)--(4,4)--(2,4)--cycle,black); fill((2,1)--(3,1)--(3,0)--(2,0)--cycle,black); fill((2,1)--(3,1)--(3,0)--(2,0)--cycle,black); fill((4,3)--(5,3)--(5,2)--(4,2)--cycle,black); for (int i=0; i<=5; ++i) { draw((0,i)--(5,i)^^(i,0)--(i,5)); } [/asy] b) Let $n=2017$.

On the planet Automory, there are infinitely many inhabitants. Every Automorian loves exactly one Automorian and honours exactly one Automorian. Additionally, the following can be noticed: $\bullet$ each Automorian is loved by some Automorian; $\bullet$ if Automorian $A$ loves Automorian $B$, then also all Automorians honouring $A$ love $B$, $\bullet$if Automorian $A$ honours Automorian $B$, then also all Automorians loving $A$ honour $B$. Is it correct to claim that every Automorian honours and loves the same Automorian?

For Kelvin the Frog's birthday, Alex the Kat gives him one brick weighing $x$ pounds, two bricks weighing $y$ pounds, and three bricks weighing $z$ pounds, where $x,y,z$ are positive integers of Kelvin the Frog's choice. Kelvin the Frog has a balance scale. By placing some combination of bricks on the scale (possibly on both sides), he wants to be able to balance any item of weight $1,2,\ldots,N$ pounds. What is the largest $N$ for which Kelvin the Frog can succeed?
