The pupils of class 5A had a total of 2015 pencils. One of them lost a box with five pencils, and instead bought a box with 50 pencils. How many pencils do the pupils of class 5A now have?

A box contains 111 red, blue, green, and white marbles. It is known that if we remove 100 marbles from the box, without looking, we will always have removed at least one marble of each colour. What is the minimum number of marbles we need to remove to guarantee that we have removed marbles of 3 different colours?

A box contains 100 red, blue, and white marbles. It is known that if we remove 26 marbles from the box, without looking, we will always have removed at least 10 marbles of one colour. What is the minimum number of marbles we need to remove to guarantee that we have removed 30 marbles of the same colour?

We call a triangle rational if all of its angles are measured by a rational number of degrees. We call a point inside the triangle rational if, when we join it by segments with vertices, we get three rational triangles. Prove that within any acute-angled rational triangle there are at least three distinct rational points.

What is the largest number of horses that can be placed on an \(8\times8\) chessboard so that no horse touches more than seven of the others?

Harry thought of two positive numbers \(x\) and \(y\). He wrote down the numbers \(x + y\), \(x - y\), \(xy\) and \(x/y\) on a board and showed them to Sam, but did not say which number corresponded to which operation.

Prove that Sam can uniquely figure out \(x\) and \(y\).

Let \(A\) and \(B\) be two rectangles. From rectangles equal to \(A\), a rectangle similar to \(B\) was created.

Prove that from rectangles equal to \(B\), you can create a rectangle similar to \(A\).

The functions \(f\) and \(g\) are defined on the entire number line and are reciprocal. It is known that \(f\) is represented as a sum of a linear and a periodic function: \(f (x) = kx + h (x)\), where \(k\) is a number, and \(h\) is a periodic function. Prove that \(g\) is also represented in this form.

Two play the following game. There is a pile of stones. The first takes either 1 stone or 10 stones with each turn. The second takes either m or n stones with every turn. They take turns, beginning with the first player. He who can not make a move, loses. It is known that for any initial quantity of stones, the first one can always play in such a way as to win (for any strategy of the second player). What values can m and n take?

It is known that \(a > 1\). Is it always true that \(\lfloor \sqrt{\lfloor \sqrt{a}\rfloor }\rfloor = \lfloor \sqrt{4}{a}\rfloor\)?
