To transmit messages by telegraph, each letter of the Russian alphabet () ( and are counted as identical) is represented as a five-digit combination of zeros and ones corresponding to the binary number of the given letter in the alphabet (letter numbering starts from zero). For example, the letter is represented in the form 00000, letter -00001, letter -10111, letter -11111. Transmission of the five-digit combination is made via a cable containing five wires. Each bit is transmitted on a separate wire. When you receive a message, Cryptos has confused the wires, so instead of the transmitted word, a set of letters is received. Find the word you sent.

In one urn there are two white balls, in another two black ones, in the third – one white and one black. On each urn there was a sign indicating its contents: WW, BB, WB. Someone rehung the signs so that now each sign indicating the contents of the urn is incorrect. It is possible to remove a ball from any urn without looking into it. What is the minimum number of removals required to determine the composition of all three urns?

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.

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?

Prove that the following inequalities hold for the Brockard angle \(\varphi\):

a) \(\varphi ^{3} \le (\alpha - \varphi) (\beta - \varphi) (\gamma - \varphi)\) ;

b) \(8 \varphi^{3} \le \alpha \beta \gamma\) (the Jiff inequality).

a) A square of area 6 contains three polygons, each of area 3. Prove that among them there are two polygons that have an overlap of area no less than 1.

b) A square of area 5 contains nine polygons of area 1. Prove that among them there are two polygons that have an overlap of area no less than \(\frac{1}{9}\).

A rectangular table is given, in each cell of which a real number is written, and in each row of the table the numbers are arranged in ascending order. Prove that if you arrange the numbers in each column of the table in ascending order, then in the rows of the resulting table, the numbers will still be in ascending order.

Each side in the triangle \(ABC\) is divided into 8 equal segments. How many different triangles exist with the vertices at the points of division (the points \(A\), \(B\), \(C\) cannot be the vertices of triangles) in which neither side is parallel to either side of the triangle \(ABC\)?

How many integers are there from 1 to 1,000,000, which are neither full squares, nor full cubes, nor numbers to the fourth power?
