Eleven people were waiting in line in the rain, each holding an umbrella. They stood closely together, so that the umbrellas of the neighbouring people were touching (see fig.)

The rain stopped and all people closed their umbrellas. They now stood keeping a distance of \(50\) cm between neighbours. By how many times has the queue length decreased? People can be considered points, and umbrellas are circles with a radius of \(50\) cm.

Cut a square into five triangles in such a way that the area of one of these triangles is equal to the sum of the area of other four triangles.

Consider the following sum: \[\frac1{1 \times 2} + \frac1{2 \times 3} + \frac1{3 \times 4} + \dots\] Show that no matter how many terms it has, the sum will never be larger than \(1\).

The prime factorization of the number \(b\) is \(2 \times 5^2 \times 7 \times 13^2 \times 17\). The prime factorization of the number \(c\) is \(2^2 \times 5 \times 7^2 \times 13\). Is the first number divisible by the second one? Is the product of these two numbers, \(b \times c\), divisible by \(49000\)?
