Does there exist a natural number which, when divided by the sum of its digits, gives a quotient and remainder both equal to the number 2011?

Along the path between Fiona’s and Jane’s house there is a row of flowers: 15 peonies and 15 tulips in a random order. Before visiting Fiona’s house, Jane started watering all of the plants from the beginning of the row. After the 10th tulip the water finished and 10 flowers were left unwatered. The next day, before visiting Jane’s house, Fiona started picking flowers for a bouquet starting from the end of the row. After picking the 6th tulip, she decided that the bouquet was big enough. How many flowers were left growing beside the path?

Of the four inequalities \(2x > 70\), \(x < 100\), \(4x > 25\) and \(x > 5\), two are true and two are false. Find the value of \(x\) if it is known that it is an integer.

In six baskets there are pears, plums and apples. The number of plums in each basket is equal to the total number of apples in the other baskets. The number of apples in each basket is equal to the total number of pears in the other baskets. Prove that the total number of fruits is divisible by 31.

The function \(f (x)\) is defined on the positive real \(x\) and takes only positive values. It is known that \(f (1) + f (2) = 10\) and \(f(a+b) = f(a) + f(b) + 2\sqrt{f(a)f(b)}\) for any \(a\) and \(b\). Find \(f (2^{2011})\).

On a chessboard, \(n\) white and \(n\) black rooks are arranged so that the rooks of different colours cannot capture one another. Find the greatest possible value of \(n\).

Suppose that: \[\frac{x+y}{x-y}+\frac{x-y}{x+y} =3.\] Find the value of the following expression: \[\frac{x^2 +y^2}{x^2-y^2} + \frac{x^2 -y^2}{x^2+y^2}.\]

Pinocchio correctly solved a problem, but stained his notebook. \[(\bullet \bullet + \bullet \bullet+1)\times \bullet= \bullet \bullet \bullet\]

Under each blot lies the same number, which is not equal to zero. Find this number.
