Seven robbers are dividing a bag of coins of various denominations. It turned out that the sum could not be divided equally between them, but if any coin is set aside, the rest could be divided so that every robber would get an equal part. Prove that the bag cannot contain \(100\) coins.
Show that the equation \(x^2 +6x-1 = y^2\) has no solutions in integer \(x\) and \(y\).
Petya and Misha play such a game. Petya takes in each hand a coin: one – 10 pence, and the other – 15. After that, the contents of the left hand are multiplied by 4, 10, 12 or 26, and the contents of the right hand – by 7, 13, 21 or 35. Then Petya adds the two results and tells Misha the result. Can Misha, knowing this result, determine which hand – the right or left – contains the 10 pence coin?
Can the equality \(K \times O \times T = U \times W \times E \times N \times H \times Y\) be true if the numbers from 1 to 9 are substituted for the letters? Different letters correspond to different numbers.
The parliament of a certain country has two houses with an equal number of members. In order to make a decision on an important issue all the members voted and there were no abstentions.

Solve the rebus: \(AX \times UX = 2001\).
There are \(n\) integers. Prove that among them either there are several numbers whose sum is divisible by \(n\) or there is one number divisible by \(n\) itself.
a) A 1 or a 0 is placed on each vertex of a cube. The sum of the 4 adjacent vertices is written on each face of the cube. Is it possible for each of the numbers written on the faces to be different?
b) The same question, but if 1 and \(-1\) are used instead.
Is it possible to find natural numbers \(x\), \(y\) and \(z\) which satisfy the equation \(28x+30y+31z=365\)?
