6. Several cells on a $14 \times 14$ board are marked. It is known that no two of the marked cells are in the same row and the same column, and also that a knight can, starting from any marked cell, reach any other marked cell via marked cells. What is the maximum possible number of marked cells?
Answer: 14. Sketch of the solution. Estimate. In each row, there is no more than one marked cell (field), and therefore no more than 14 cells are marked. Example in the image. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_06_f259ce87565f6e7a499dg-3.jpg?height=503&width=507&top_left_y=1188&top_left_x=865)

8.5. Ten football teams each played one game against each of the others. As a result, each team ended up with exactly $x$ points. What is the greatest possible value of $x$? (Win - 3 points, draw - 1 point, loss - 0 points.)
Answer: 13. Evaluation. Let's prove that $x$ cannot be greater than 13. Indeed, in each match, either 3 points are awarded (if one of the teams wins) or 2 points (if there is a draw). In total, $\frac{10 \cdot 9}{2}=45$ matches were played, meaning no more than 135 points were awarded, that is, the total points scored...

3. Answer: the speed of the first car is twice as high. Let the speed of one car be $k$ times the speed of the other. Since they started at the same time, one car will travel a distance $k$ times greater. After this, the segments will switch, and the slower car, whose speed is $k$ times less, will have to cover a dist...

Solution. Since $p$ and $b$ are the roots of the quadratic equation $x^{2}+2020 a x+c=0$, by Vieta's theorem, $p+b=-2020 a$. Let $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$ be the roots of the equation $a x^{2}+b x+d=0$, and $x_{3}$ and $x_{4}$ be the roots of the equation $a x^{2}+p x+q=0$. Then, by Vieta's theorem, $x_{1}+x_{2}=-\frac{b}{a}...

7.3 In a pond with carp, 30 pikes were released, which began to gradually eat each other. A pike is considered full if it has eaten three other pikes (hungry or full), and each full pike ate exactly one carp for dessert (hungry pikes did not eat carp). What is the maximum number of carp that could have been eaten? Just...
Solution. The maximum number of pikes eaten is 29, so no more than $29: 3=9.6666 \ldots$ pikes can be satiated, which means no more than 9 pikes (and, accordingly, no more than 9 roaches can be eaten). 9 roaches can be eaten as follows (the method is not unique). Choose 9 pikes and denote them as $A_{1}, A_{2}, \ldots,...

Problem 1. A paper rectangle $3 \times 7$ was cut into squares $1 \times 1$. Each square, except those that stood at the corners of the rectangle, was cut along both diagonals. How many small triangles were obtained?
Answer: 68. Solution. Note that the total number of squares cut along the diagonals is $3 \cdot 7-4=17$. Each of them is cut into 4 small triangles. Therefore, there will be $4 \cdot 17$ - 68 small triangles.

Problem 2. Alla thought of a three-digit number, in which there is no digit 0, and all digits are different. Bella wrote down the number in which the same digits are in reverse order. Galia subtracted the smaller number from the larger one. What digit stands in the tens place of the resulting difference? #
# Answer: 9 Solution. Since we are subtracting a smaller number from a larger one, the digit in the hundreds place of the first number is greater than that of the second. Then, in the units place, conversely, the digit of the first number is smaller than that of the second. Therefore, when subtracting, we will have to...

Problem 3. Masha has 4 pieces of red plasticine, 3 pieces of blue plasticine, and 5 pieces of yellow plasticine. First, she divided each non-red piece of plasticine in half, and then she divided each non-yellow piece of plasticine in half. How many pieces of plasticine did Masha get
Answer: 30 pieces of plasticine. Solution. After Masha's first action, the number of blue and yellow pieces of plasticine doubles. They become 6 and 10, respectively. After Masha's second action, the number of red and blue pieces of plasticine doubles. They become 8 and 12, respectively. Then the total number of piece...

Answer: 13 stones. Solution. Note that if we add 19 stones and 101 stones, we get the combined weight of Arthur and the horse, to which the scale error has been added (or subtracted) twice. Meanwhile, 114 stones is the combined weight of Arthur and the horse, to which the scale error has been added only once. Therefor...

2. A road 28 kilometers long was divided into three unequal parts. The distance between the midpoints of the extreme parts is 16 km. Find the length of the middle part.
Answer: 4 km. Solution. The distance between the midpoints of the outermost sections consists of half of the outer sections and the entire middle section, i.e., twice this number equals the length of the road plus the length of the middle section. Thus, the length of the middle section $=16 * 2-28=4$.
