Problems

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?

In a herd consisting of horses and camels (some with one hump and some with two) there are a total of 200 humps. How many animals are in the herd, if the number of horses is equal to the number of camels with two humps?

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.

At the vertices of the hexagon \(ABCDEF\) (see Fig.) There were 6 identical balls: at \(A\) – one with mass 1 g, at \(B\) – 2 g, ..., at \(F\) – 6 g. Callum changed the places of two balls in opposite vertices. A set of weighing scales with 2 plates is available, which let you know which plate contains the balls of greater mass. How, in one weighing, can it be determined which balls were rearranged?

There are 40 weights of weights of 1 g, 2 g, ..., 40 grams. Of these, 10 weights of even weight were chosen and placed on the left hand side of the scales. Then we selected 10 weights of odd weight and put it on the right hand side of the scales. The scales were balanced. Prove that on one of the bowls of the scales there are two weights with a mass difference of 20 g.

Mark has 1000 identical cubes, each of which has one pair of opposite faces which are coloured white, another pair which are blue and a third pair that are red. He made a large \(10 \times 10 \times 10\) cube from them, joining cubes to one another which have the same coloured faces. Prove that the large cube has a face which is solidly one colour.

Two ants crawled along their own closed route on a \(7\times7\) board. Each ant crawled only on the sides of the cells of the board and visited each of the 64 vertices of the cells exactly once. What is the smallest possible number of cell edges, along which both the first and second ants crawled?

101 random points are chosen inside a unit square, including on the edges of the square, so that no three points lie on the same straight line. Prove that there exist some triangles with vertices on these points, whose area does not exceed 0.01.

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.
