For a sequence $x_1,x_2,\ldots,x_n$ of real numbers, we define its $\textit{price}$ as \[\max_{1\le i\le n}|x_1+\cdots +x_i|.\] Given $n$ real numbers, Dave and George want to arrange them into a sequence with a low price. Diligent Dave checks all possible ways and finds the minimum possible price $D$. Greedy George, on the other hand, chooses $x_1$ such that $|x_1 |$ is as small as possible; among the remaining numbers, he chooses $x_2$ such that $|x_1 + x_2 |$ is as small as possible, and so on. Thus, in the $i$-th step he chooses $x_i$ among the remaining numbers so as to minimise the value of $|x_1 + x_2 + \cdots x_i |$. In each step, if several numbers provide the same value, George chooses one at random. Finally he gets a sequence with price $G$.
Find the least possible constant $c$ such that for every positive integer $n$, for every collection of $n$ real numbers, and for every possible sequence that George might obtain, the resulting values satisfy the inequality $G\le cD$.

In the coordinate plane, consider points $A = (0, 0)$, $B = (11, 0)$, and $C = (18, 0)$. Line $\ell_A$ has slope 1 and passes through $A$. Line $\ell_B$ is vertical and passes through $B$. Line $\ell_C$ has slope $-1$ and passes through $C$. The three lines $\ell_A$, $\ell_B$, and $\ell_C$ begin rotating clockwise about points $A$, $B$, and $C$, respectively. They rotate at the same angular rate. At any given time, the three lines form a triangle. Determine the largest possible area of such a triangle.

For a natural number $n \ge 3$ we denote by $M(n)$ the minimum number of unit squares that must be coloured in a $6 \times n$ rectangle so that any possible $2 \times 3$ rectangle (it can be rotated, but it must be contained inside and cannot be cut) contains at least one coloured unit square. Is it true that for every natural $n \ge 3$ the number $M(n)$ can be expressed as $M(n)=p_n+k_n^3$, where $p_n$ is a prime and $k_n$ is a natural number?
