Could the difference of two integers multiplied by their product be equal to the number 1999?
a) There are 21 coins on a table with the tails side facing upwards. In one operation, you are allowed to turn over any 20 coins. Is it possible to achieve the arrangement were all coins are facing with the heads side upwards in a few operations?
b) The same question, if there are 20 coins, but you are allowed to turn over 19.
Two friends went simultaneously from A to B. The first went by bicycle, the second – by car at a speed five times faster than the first. Halfway along the route, the car was in an accident, and the rest of the way the motorist walked on foot at a speed half of the speed of the cyclist. Which of them arrived at B first?
Andrew drives his car at a speed of 60 km/h. He wants to travel every kilometre 1 minute faster. By how much should he increase his speed?
A tourist walked 3.5 hours, and for every period of time, in one hour, he walked exactly 5 km. Does this mean that his average speed is 5 km/h?
Prove that no straight line can cross all three sides of a triangle, at points away from the vertices.
A circle is divided up by the points \(A, B, C, D\) so that \({\smile}{AB}:{\smile}{BC}:{\smile}{CD}:{\smile}{DA} = 2: 3: 5: 6\). The chords \(AC\) and \(BD\) intersect at point \(M\). Find the angle \(AMB\).
A circle is divided up by the points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), \(D\) so that \({\smile}{AB}:{\smile}{BC}:{\smile}{CD}:{\smile}{DA} = 3: 2: 13: 7\). The chords \(AD\) and \(BC\) are continued until their intersection at point \(M\). Find the angle \(AMB\).
The angles of a triangle are in the ratio \(2: 3: 4\). Find the ratio of the outer angles of the triangle.
One angle of a triangle is equal to the sum of its other two angles. Prove that the triangle is right-angled.
