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?

Prove that no straight line can cross all three sides of a triangle, at points away from the vertices.
One of the four angles formed when two straight lines intersect is \(41^{\circ}\). What are the other three angles equal to?
In a triangle, the lengths of two of the sides are 3.14 and 0.67. Find the length of the third side if it is known that it is an integer.
a) In Wonderland, there are three cities \(A\), \(B\) and \(C\). 6 roads lead from city \(A\) to city \(B\), and 4 roads lead from city \(B\) to city \(C\). How many ways can you travel from \(A\) to \(C\)?
b) In Wonderland, another city \(D\) was built as well as several new roads – two from \(A\) to \(D\) and two from \(D\) to \(C\). In how many ways can you now get from city \(A\) to city \(C\)?
