Find a natural number greater than one that occurs in the Pascal triangle a) more than three times; b) more than four times.
How many times greater is the sum of the numbers in the hundred and first line of the Pascal triangle than the sum of the numbers in the hundredth line?
Let’s put plus and minus signs in the 99th line of Pascal’s triangle. Between the first and second number there is a minus sign, between the second and the third there is a plus sign, between the third and the fourth there is a minus sign, then again a plus sign, and so on. Find the value of the resulting expression.
Can you find
a) in the 100th line of Pascal’s triangle, the number \(1 + 2 + 3 + \dots + 98 + 99\)?
b) in the 200th line the sum of the squares of the numbers in the 100th line?
Prove there are no integer solutions for the equation \(3x^2 + 2 = y^2\).
Can seven phones be connected with wires so that each phone is connected to exactly three others?
a) Can 4 points be placed on a plane so that each of them is connected by segments with three points (without intersections)?
b) Can 6 points be placed on a plane and connected by non-intersecting segments so that exactly 4 segments emerge from each point?
Write out in a row the numbers from \(1\) to \(9\) (every number once) so that every two consecutive numbers give a two-digit number that is divisible by \(7\) or by \(13\).
Several Top Secret Objects are connected by an underground railway in such a way that each Object is directly connected to no more than three others and from each Object one can reach any other Object by going and by changing no more than once. What is the maximum number of Top Secret Objects?
Prove that the sum of
