Show that \(\frac{x}{y} + {\frac{y}{z}} + {\frac{z}{x}} = 1\) is not solvable in natural numbers.
Solve the equation \(\lfloor x^3\rfloor + \lfloor x^2\rfloor + \lfloor x\rfloor = \{x\} - 1\).
A resident of one foreign intelligence agency informed the centre about the forthcoming signing of a number of bilateral agreements between the fifteen former republics of the USSR. According to his report, each of them will conclude an agreement exactly with three others. Should this resident be trusted?
In Mongolia there are in circulation coins of 3 and 5 tugriks. An entrance ticket to the central park costs 4 tugriks. One day before the opening of the park, a line of 200 visitors queued up in front of the ticket booth. Each of them, as well as the cashier, has exactly 22 tugriks. Prove that all of the visitors will be able to buy a ticket in the order of the queue.
There are two numbers \(x\) and \(y\) being added together. The number \(x\) is less than the sum \(x+y\) by 2000. The sum \(x+y\) is bigger than \(y\) by 6. What are the values of \(x\) and \(y\)?
The student did not notice the multiplication sign between two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number, which turned out to be seven times bigger than their product. Determine these numbers.
The student did not notice the multiplication sign between two seven-digit numbers and wrote one fourteen-digit number, which turned out to be three times bigger than their product. Determine these numbers.
Replace \(a, b\) and \(c\) with integers not equal to \(1\) in the equality \((ay^b)^c = - 64y^6\), so it would become an identity.
Solve the equation \((x + 1)^3 = x^3\).
The board has the form of a cross, which is obtained if corner boxes of a square board of \(4 \times 4\) are erased. Is it possible to go around it with the help of the knight chess piece and return to the original cell, having visited all the cells exactly once?
