Given a positive integer $n$. An inversion of a permutation is the amount of pairs $(i,j)$ such that $i<j$ and the $i$-th number is smaller than $j$-th number in the permutation.
Prove that for every positive integer $k \leq n$ there exist exactly $\frac{n!}{k}$ permutations in which the inversion is divisible by $k$.

All letters in the word $VUQAR$ are different and chosen from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5\}$. Find all solutions to the equation \[\frac{(V+U+Q+A+R)^2}{V-U-Q+A+R}=V^{{{U^Q}^A}^R}.\]
[b]p1.[/b] You are given three buckets with a capacity to hold $8$, $5$, and $3$ quarts of water, respectively. Initially, the first bucket is filled with $8$ quarts of water, while the remaining two buckets are empty. There are no markings on the buckets, so you are only allowed to empty a bucket into another one or to fill a bucket to its capacity using the water from one of the other buckets.
(a) Describe a procedure by which we can obtain exactly $6$ quarts of water in the first bucket.
(b) Describe a procedure by which we can obtain exactly $4$ quarts of water in the first bucket.
[b]p2.[/b] A point in the plane is called a lattice point if its coordinates are both integers. A triangle whose vertices are all lattice points is called a lattice triangle. In each case below, give explicitly the coordinates of the vertices of a lattice triangle $T$ that satisfies the stated properties.
(a) The area of $T$ is $1/2$ and two sides of $T$ have length greater than $2011$.
(b) The area of $T$ is $1/2$ and the three sides of $T$ each have length greater than $2011$.
[b]p3.[/b] Alice and Bob play several rounds of a game. In the $n$-th round, where $n = 1, 2, 3, ...$, the loser pays the winner $2^{n-1}$ dollars (there are no ties). After $40$ rounds, Alice has a profit of $\$2011$ (and Bob has lost $\$2011$). How many rounds of the game did Alice win, and which rounds were they? Justify your answer.
