Aladdin visited all of the points on the equator, moving to the east, then to the west, and sometimes instantly moving to the diametrically opposite point on Earth. Prove that there was a period of time during which the difference in distances traversed by Aladdin to the east and to the west was not less than half the length of the equator.
Prove that for every natural number \(n > 1\) the equality: \[\lfloor n^{1 / 2}\rfloor + \lfloor n^{1/ 3}\rfloor + \dots + \lfloor n^{1 / n}\rfloor = \lfloor \log_{2}n\rfloor + \lfloor \log_{3}n\rfloor + \dots + \lfloor \log_{n}n\rfloor\] is satisfied.
a) Give an example of a positive number \(a\) such that \(\{a\} + \{1 / a\} = 1\).
b) Can such an \(a\) be a rational number?
Find the number of solutions in natural numbers of the equation \(\lfloor x / 10\rfloor = \lfloor x / 11\rfloor + 1\).
Some real numbers \(a_1, a_2, a_3,\dots ,a _{2022}\) are written in a row. Prove that it is possible to pick one or several adjacent numbers, so that their sum is less than 0.001 away from a whole number.
Are there such irrational numbers \(a\) and \(b\) so that \(a > 1\), \(b > 1\), and \(\lfloor a^m\rfloor\) is different from \(\lfloor b^n\rfloor\) for any natural numbers \(m\) and \(n\)?
