Determine all solutions of the equation \((n + 2)! - (n + 1)! - n! = n^2 + n^4\) in natural numbers.
Find all functions \(f (x)\) defined for all real values of \(x\) and satisfying the equation \(2f (x) + f (1 - x) = x^2\).
10 numbers are written around the circle, the sum of which is equal to 100. It is known that the sum of every three numbers standing side by side is not less than 29.
Specify the smallest number \(A\) such that in any such set of numbers each of the numbers does not exceed \(A\).
In a group of friends, each two people have exactly five common acquaintances. Prove that the number of pairs of friends is divisible by 3.
At a round table, 10 boys and 15 girls were seated. It turned out that there are exactly 5 pairs of boys sitting next to each other.
