[b]p1.[/b] The number $100$ is written as a sum of distinct positive integers. Determine, with proof, the maximum number of terms that can occur in the sum. [b]p2.[/b] Inside an equilateral triangle of side length $s$ are three mutually tangent circles of radius $1$, each one of which is also tangent to two sides of the triangle, as depicted below. Find $s$.

There is a wolf in the centre of a square field, and four dogs in the corners. The wolf can easily kill one dog, but two dogs can kill the wolf. The wolf can run all over the field, and the dogs -- along the fence (border) only. Prove that if the dog's speed is $1.5$ times more than the wolf's, than the dogs can prevent the wolf escaping.
If $f(x) = x^2 + x$, prove that the equation $4f(a) = f(b)$ has no solutions in positive integers $a$ and $b$.
Each integer is colored with exactly one of the following colors: red, blue, or orange, and all three colors are used in the coloring. The coloring also satisfies the following properties: 1. The sum of a red number and an orange number results in a blue-colored number, 2. The sum of an orange and blue number results in an orange-colored number; 3. The sum of a blue number and a red number results in a red-colored number. (a) Prove that $0$ and $1$ must have distinct colors. (b) Determine all possible colorings of the integers which also satisfy the properties stated above.
