Five, (20 points) For the parabola $y^{2}=2 p x(p>0)$ with focus $F$, does there exist an inscribed isosceles right triangle such that one of its legs passes through $F$? If it exists, how many are there? If not, explain the reason. --- Translate the above text into English, please retain the original text's line breaks and format, and output the translation result directly.
As shown in Figure 4, let \( A\left(x_{A}, y_{A}\right) \), \( B\left(x_{B}, y_{B}\right) \), \( C\left(x_{C}, y_{C}\right) \), and the inclination angle of \( AC \) be \( \theta \). Clearly, \( \theta \neq 0 \), \( \frac{\pi}{2} \). Suppose \( \theta \in \left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right) \). By the focal chord length formula, we have \[ \begin{array}{l} |A C|=\frac{2 p}{\sin ^{2} \theta} . \\ \because\left\{\begin{array}{l} y_{A}-y_{C}=|A C| \sin \theta=\frac{2 p}{\sin \theta}, \\ y_{A}+y_{C}=2 p \frac{x_{A}-x_{C}}{y_{A}-y_{C}}=2 p \cot \theta, \end{array}\right. \end{array} \] \[ \left\{\begin{array}{l} y_{C}-y_{B}=|C B| \cos \theta=|A C| \cos \theta=\frac{2 p \cos \theta}{\sin ^{2} \theta}, \\ y_{C}+y_{B}=2 p \frac{x_{C}-x_{B}}{y_{C}-y_{B}}=-2 p \tan \theta . \end{array}\right. \] From (1), we get \( y_{C}=p \frac{\cos \theta-1}{\sin \theta} \), From (2), we get \( y_{C}=p \frac{\cos ^{2} \theta-\sin ^{3} \theta}{\sin ^{2} \theta \cos \theta} \), \(\therefore \cos\) squared minus \(\sin ^{3} \theta\), which means \(\cos \theta+\sin \theta=\tan \theta\), or equivalently, \(\sqrt{2} \sin \left(\theta+\frac{\pi}{4}\right)=\tan \theta\). The problem reduces to whether (3) has a solution in \(\left(0, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\). From the graphs of trigonometric functions, (3) has exactly one intersection point in \(\left(\frac{\pi}{4}, \frac{\pi}{2}\right)\), indicating that there exists an isosceles right triangle that satisfies the given conditions. By symmetry, when \(\theta \in \left(\frac{\pi}{2}, \pi\right)\), there is also one intersection point. In summary, there exist exactly two isosceles right triangles that satisfy the given conditions.

2. Given that $a$ is a natural number, there exists a linear polynomial with integer coefficients and $a$ as the leading coefficient, which has two distinct positive roots less than 1. Then, the minimum value of $a$ is $\qquad$ .
2.5. Let $f(x)=a x^{2}+b x+c=a\left(x-x_{1}\right)\left(x-x_{2}\right)$, $00$. Then from $f(0)$ and $f(1)$ being positive integers, we get $f(0) f(1) \geqslant 1$, that is, $a^{2} x_{1} x_{2}\left(1-x_{1}\right)\left(1-x_{2}\right) \geqslant 1$. Also, $x(1-x) \leqslant \frac{1}{4}$, with equality when $x=\frac{1}{2}$. Since $x_{1} \neq x_{2}$, we have $x_{1}\left(1-x_{1}\right) x_{2}\left(1-x_{2}\right)4$. When $a=5$, the equation $5 x^{2}-5 x+1=0$ has two distinct positive roots in the interval $(0,1)$. Therefore, the minimum value of $a$ is 5.

Four. (20 points) The sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ is defined as follows: $a_{1}=3, a_{n}=$ $3^{a_{n-1}}(n \geqslant 2)$. Find the last digit of $a_{n}(n \geqslant 2)$.
Let's prove, when $n \geqslant 2$, we have $$ a_{n}=4 m+3, m \in \mathbf{N} \text {. } $$ Using mathematical induction: (i) When $n=2$, $a_{2}=3^{3}=4 \times 6+3$, so equation (1) holds. (ii) Assume when $n=k(k \geqslant 2)$, equation (1) holds, i.e., $$ a_{k}=4 m+3, m \in \mathbf{N} \text {. } $$ Then $a_{k+1}=3^{a_{k}}=3^{4 m+3}=(4-1)^{4 m+3}$ $$ \begin{aligned} = & \mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{0} \cdot 4^{4 m+3}(-1)^{0}+\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{1} 4^{4 m+2}(-1)^{1} \\ & +\cdots+\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{4 m+2} 4^{1}(-1)^{4 m+2} \\ & +\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{4 m+3} 4^{0}(-1)^{4 m+3} \\ = & 4 t-1=4(t-1)+3 . \end{aligned} $$ Here, $t=\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{0} 4^{4 m+2}+\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{1} 4^{4 m+1}(-1)^{1}+\cdots+$ $\mathrm{C}_{4 m+3}^{4 m+2}(-1)^{4 m+2}$ is an integer, and since $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ is an increasing sequence, we have $a_{k+1} \geqslant a_{k} \geqslant \cdots \geqslant a_{2}=27$, i.e., $4 t-1 \geqslant 27$. Thus, $t \geqslant 7, t-1 \geqslant 6$, i.e., $t-1 \in \mathbf{N}$. Therefore, when $n=k+1$, equation (1) holds. Thus, equation (1) holds, and we have $$ a_{n}=3^{a_{n-1}}=3^{4 m+3}=(81)^{m} \cdot 27 \text {, } $$ and its last digit is 7.

Given an integer $n > 3$, let real numbers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}$, $x_{n+1}, x_{n+2}$ satisfy the condition $$ 0 < x_{1} < x_{2} < \cdots < x_{n} < x_{n+1} < x_{n+2}. $$ Find the minimum value of $$ \frac{\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{x_{i+1}}{x_{i}}\right)\left(\sum_{j=1}^{n} \frac{x_{j+2}}{x_{j+1}}\right)}{\left(\sum_{k=1}^{n} \frac{x_{k+1} x_{k+2}}{x_{k+1}^{2} + x_{k} x_{k+2}}\right)\left(\sum_{l=1}^{n} \frac{x_{l+1}^{2} + x_{l} x_{l+2}}{x_{l} x_{l+1}}\right)} $$ and determine all sets of real numbers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}, x_{n+1}, x_{n+2}$ that achieve this minimum value. (Zhang Zhusheng provided)
Solution: (I) Let $t_{i}=\frac{x_{i+1}}{x_{i}}(>1), 1 \leqslant i \leqslant n+1$. The expression in the problem can be written as $$ \frac{\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} i_{i+1}\right)}{\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{t_{i=1}}{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right)} \text {. } $$ We observe that $$ \begin{aligned} ( & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{t_{i} t_{i+1}}{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right) \\ = & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}-\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{t_{i,}^{2}}{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right) \\ = & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right) \\ & -\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{t_{i}^{2}}{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right) \\ \leqslant & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n}\left(t_{i}+t_{i+1}\right)\right) \\ & \quad-\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} \frac{t_{i}}{\sqrt{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}} \sqrt{t_{i}+t_{i+1}}\right)^{2} \\ = & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)^{2}+\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i+1}\right)-\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)^{2} \\ = & \left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i}\right)\left(\sum_{i=1}^{n} t_{i+1}\right) . \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, for the real number sequence $00$, we have $$ x_{k}=t_{k-1} t_{k-2} \cdots t_{1} a=a b^{k-1} c^{\frac{(k-1)(k-2)}{2}}, 2 \leqslant k \leqslant n $$ +2 . $$ \begin{array}{l} \because x_{2}>x_{1}, \therefore b=\frac{x_{2}}{x_{1}}>1 . \\ \text{Also, since } t_{j}=b c^{j-1}>1,1 \leqslant j \leqslant n+1, \\ \therefore c>\sqrt[n]{\frac{1}{b}}\left(\geqslant \sqrt[j]{\frac{1}{b}}, 1 \leqslant j \leqslant n+1\right) . \end{array} $$ (III) Conclusion: (i) For the real number sequence $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n}, x_{n+1}$, $x_{n+2}$, the minimum value of the expression in the problem is 1. (ii) The conditions for the expression to achieve its minimum value are $00, b>1, c>\sqrt[\pi]{\frac{1}{b}}$.

Ni.1.1. Since $a=16^{9 m}=\left(2^{4}\right)^{9 m}=2^{36 m}$, and $\frac{1}{a}=4^{37 n}=2^{74 n}$, then $1=a \times \frac{1}{a}=2^{36 m} \cdot 2^{74 n}=2^{36 m+74 n}$, we have $36 m+74 n=0$. Therefore, $(36 m+74 n-1)^{2000}=(-1)^{20000}=1$.

We have $$ \begin{array}{l} S_{\triangle ABC} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot AB \cdot CH = 18, \\ CH = \frac{18 \times 2}{3 \sqrt{17}} = \frac{12}{\sqrt{17}}. \\ \because ME = FC = \frac{1}{3} AC = 1, CE = \frac{1}{3} BC = 4. \\ \therefore EF = \sqrt{CF^2 + CE^2} = \sqrt{1 + 4^2} = \sqrt{17}. \\ \because EF \cdot CG = CE \cdot CF, \end{array} $$ i.e., $CG = \frac{CE \cdot CF}{EF} = \frac{4 \times 1}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{4}{\sqrt{17}}$. $$ \begin{array}{l} \therefore GH = CH - CG = \frac{12}{\sqrt{17}} - \frac{4}{\sqrt{17}} = \frac{8}{\sqrt{17}}. \\ \text{Therefore, } S_{\triangle DEF} = \frac{1}{2} \cdot EF \cdot GH = \frac{1}{2} \times \sqrt{17} \times \frac{8}{\sqrt{17}} = 4. \end{array} $$

15. A piece of lead wire of length $2 n$ (where $n$ is a natural number and $n \geqslant 4$) is folded into a triangle with integer side lengths. Let $(a, b, c)$ represent a triangle with side lengths $a, b, c$ such that $a \leqslant b \leqslant c$. (1) For the cases $n=4, 5, 6$, write down all the $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the conditions; (2) Someone, based on the conclusions in (1), conjectured that when the length of the lead wire is $2 n$ ($n$ is a natural number and $n \geqslant 4$), the number of corresponding $(a, b, c)$ is always $n-3$. In fact, this is an incorrect conjecture; write down all the $(a, b, c)$ for $n=12$, and state the number of $(a, b, c)$; (3) Try to classify all the $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the conditions for $n=12$ according to at least two different criteria.
15. (1) When $n=4$, the length of the lead wire is 8. Then the only group of $(a, b, c)$ that satisfies the condition is $(2,3,3)$; When $n=5$, the length of the lead wire is 10. Then the groups of $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the condition are $(2,4,4),(3,3,4)$; When $n=6$, the length of the lead wire is 12. Then the groups of $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the condition are $(2,5,5),(3,4,5),(4,4,4)$. (2) When $n=12$, the length of the lead wire is 24. According to the problem, $$ a+b+c=24 \text {, and }\left\{\begin{array}{l} a+b>c \\ a \leqslant b \leqslant c \end{array}\right. \text {. } $$ From this, we get $8 \leqslant c \leqslant 11$, i.e., $c=8,9,10,11$. Therefore, the groups of $(a, b, c)$ that satisfy the condition are 12: $$ \begin{array}{l} A(2,11,11) ; B(3,10,11) ; C(4,9,11) ; \\ D(5,8,11) ; E(6,7,11) ; F(4,10,10) ; \\ G(5,9,10) ; H(6,8,10) ; I(7,7,10) ; \\ J(6,9,9) ; K(7,8,9) ; L(8,8,8) . \end{array} $$ (3) Different classification criteria determine different classifications. Here are some examples: (1) Classify by the value of the largest side $c$, there are four categories: i) $c=11$, there are five: $A, B, C, D, E$; ii) $c=10$, there are four: $F, G, H, I$; iii) $c=9$, there are two: $J, K$; iv) $c=8$, there is only one: $L$. (2) Classify by whether they are equilateral or isosceles triangles, there are three categories: i) Equilateral triangles: only $L$; ii) Isosceles but not equilateral triangles: $A, F, I, J$ four; iii) Neither equilateral nor isosceles triangles: $B, C, D, E, G, H, K$ seven. (3) Classify by the relationship between the largest angle and the right angle, there are three categories: i) Acute triangles: $A, F, G, I, J, K, L$ seven; ii) Right triangles: only $H$; iii) Obtuse triangles: $B, C, D, E$ four.

Solution: Let the two integer roots of the equation be $x_{1}$ and $x_{2}$. Then $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x_{1}+x_{2}=-(10 a+b), \\ x_{1} x_{2}=10 b+a . \end{array}\right. $$ We have $10 x_{1}+10 x_{2}+x_{1} x_{2}=-99 a(1 \leqslant a \leqslant 9)$. Thus $\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=100-99 a$. By the problem, $x_{1}<0, x_{2}<0$, and $$ \overline{a b}=-\left(x_{1}+x_{2}\right), \overline{b a}=x_{1} x_{2}=99 \text {. } $$ Let $\left|x_{1}\right| \leqslant\left|x_{2}\right|$, by $\left|x_{1}\right| \cdot\left|x_{2}\right| \leqslant 99$ we know $\left|x_{1}\right| \leqslant 9$. Obviously, $x_{1} \neq 0$, then $$ 9 \geqslant x_{1}+10 \geqslant 1 \text {. } $$ Discussion: (1) When $a=1$. $$ \left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=1 \text {. } $$ By (2), only $$ \left\{\begin{array}{l} x_{1}+10=1, \\ x_{2}+10=1 . \end{array}\right. $$ That is, $x_{1}=x_{2}=-9$. Substituting into equation (1) gives $\overline{a b}=18, \overline{b a}=81$. (2) When $a=2$, $$ \left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-98 \text {. } $$ By (2) we have, $$ x_{2}+10<0 \text {. } $$ Thus $-98=k \cdot\left(-\frac{98}{k}\right) \cdot\left(k, \frac{98}{k}\right.$ are integers, $\left.1 \leqslant k \leqslant 9\right)$ $$ \begin{array}{l} \therefore\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right) \\ =1 \times(-98)=2 \times(-49)=7 \times(-14) . \end{array} $$ Solving gives $\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-9, \\ x_{2}=-108 ;\end{array}\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-8, \\ x_{2}=-59 ;\end{array}\left\{\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-3, \\ x_{2}=-24\end{array}\right.\right.\right.\right.$. Substituting into equation (1) gives $\overline{a b}=27, \overline{b a}=72$. At this time, $x_{1}=-3, x_{2}=-24$. (3) When $a=3$, $$ \left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-197=1 \times(-197) \text {. } $$ By (2) we know there is no solution. (4) When $a=4$, $$ \begin{array}{l} \left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right) \\ =-296=1 \times(-296)=2 \times(-148) \\ =4 \times(-74)=8 \times(-37) . \end{array} $$ By (2) we know $k=1,2,4$, there is no solution. Solving gives $x_{1}=-2, x_{2}=-47$. Substituting into equation (1) gives $\overline{a b}=49, \overline{b a}=94$. (5) When $a=5$, $\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-395=5 \times(-75)$, there is no solution. (6) When $a=6$, $$ \left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-494=2 \times(-247) \text {, no solution. } $$ (7) When $a=7$, $\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-593=1 \times(-593)$, there is no solution. (8) When $a=8$, $\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-692=4 \times(-173)$, there is no solution. (9) When $a=9$, $\left(x_{1}+10\right)\left(x_{2}+10\right)=-791=7 \times(-113)$, there is no solution. In summary, when $\overline{a b}=18,27,49$, the integer solutions of the equation are: $\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-9, \\ x_{2}=-9 ;\end{array}\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-3, \\ x_{2}=-24 ;\end{array}\left\{\begin{array}{l}x_{1}=-2, \\ x_{2}=-47 .\end{array}\right.\right.\right.$

Example 3 On a street $AB$, person A walks from $A$ to $B$, and person B rides a bike from $B$ to $A$. Person B's speed is 3 times that of person A. At this moment, a public bus departs from the starting station $A$ and heads towards $B$, and a bus is dispatched every $x$ minutes. After some time, person A notices that a bus catches up to him every 10 minutes, while person B feels that he encounters a bus every 5 minutes. Therefore, the interval time $x=$ $\qquad$ for the dispatch of buses at the starting station. (9th Hope Cup National Mathematics Invitational for Junior High School)
Solution: According to the problem, draw the graph as shown in Figure 4. $A C, A_{1} C_{1}, A_{2} C_{2}, A_{3} C_{3}$ represent the motion graphs of buses departing every $x$ minutes, $A D$ and $B . V$ are the motion graphs of person A and person B, respectively. $E_{1}, E_{2}$ are the points where a bus catches up with person A every 10 minutes. $F_{1}, F_{2}, F_{3}, F_{4}$ are the points where person B encounters a bus every 5 minutes. Draw $E_{1} G \perp t$-axis through $E_{1}$, draw $F_{2} H / / t$-axis intersecting $O C$ at $H$, and draw $F_{1} M \perp H F_{2}$, then $A G=$ 10. $M F_{2}=5, H F_{2}=A A_{1}=x$. Let $\angle E_{1} A G=\alpha, \angle F_{1} H M=\angle E_{1} A_{1} G=$ $\beta, \angle F_{1} F_{2} M=\gamma$. Also, $\tan \alpha=\frac{E_{1} G}{A G}=\frac{E_{1} G}{10}$. In $\triangle E_{1} A_{1} G$, $\tan \beta=\frac{E_{1} G}{A_{1} G}=\frac{E_{1} G}{A G-A A_{1}}=\frac{E_{1} G}{10-x}$. In $\triangle F_{1} H M$, $\tan \beta=\frac{F_{1} M}{H M}=\frac{F_{1} M}{H F_{2}-M F_{2}}=\frac{F_{1} M}{x-5}$. $\tan \gamma=\frac{F_{1} M}{M F_{2}}=\frac{F_{1} M}{5}$. (1) $\div$ (2) gives $\frac{\tan \alpha}{\tan \beta}=\frac{10-x}{10}$. (3) $\div$ (4) gives $\frac{\tan \beta}{\tan \gamma}=\frac{5}{x-5}$. Since person B's speed is 3 times that of person A, then $\tan \gamma=3 \tan \alpha$. (3) $\times$ (6) gives $\frac{1}{3}=\frac{10-x}{2(x-5)}$. Solving for $x$ yields $x=8$. Therefore, the interval between departures at the starting station is 8 minutes. The key here is equations (3) and (6). Their practical significance is the same as in Example 2.

14. (1) Since $A D / / B C, A B / / D C$. Therefore, $\left.\triangle P_{n-2} F I\right) \triangle \triangle P_{n-2} A B, \triangle P_{2} B E \subset \triangle P_{2} D . A$. Thus, we know $$ \frac{A P_{n-2}}{P_{n+2} F}=\frac{B P_{n}}{P_{n-2} D}=\frac{n-2}{2}, \frac{A P_{2}}{P_{2} E}=\frac{D P_{2}}{P_{2} B}=\frac{n-2}{2}, $$ which means $\frac{A P_{n-2}}{P_{n} \frac{{ }_{2}}{} F}=\frac{A P_{2}}{P_{2} E}$; hence $E F / / B D$. (2) From (1), we know $\frac{A P_{2}}{A E}=\frac{n-2}{n}, \frac{S_{\triangle A P_{2} P_{n-2}}}{S_{\text {ZAFF }}}=$ $\left(\frac{A P_{2}}{A E}\right)^{2}$. Therefore, $$ \begin{aligned} & S_{\triangle_{2} P_{n-2}}=\left(\frac{n-2}{n}\right)^{2} \cdot S_{\text {IAE }} \\ = & \left(\frac{n-2}{n}\right)^{2} \cdot \frac{3}{8} S . \end{aligned} $$ Also, since $S_{\triangle A A S}=\frac{1}{2} S_{\triangle A / \times D}=\frac{1}{2} S$, and $P_{1}, P_{2}, \cdots$ 。 $P_{n}$ 。are the $n$ equal division points of $B D$. Therefore, $$ \begin{array}{l} S_{-N_{2} p_{n}}=\left(\frac{n-4}{n}\right) \cdot S_{\text {U(S) }} \\ =\left(\frac{n-4}{n}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2} S . \end{array} $$ From (1) and (2), we get $\left(\frac{n-2}{n}\right)^{2} \cdot \frac{3}{8} S=\left(\frac{n-4}{n}\right) \cdot \frac{1}{2} S$, which simplifies to $n^{2}-4 n-12=0$. Solving, we get $n=6, n=-2$ (discard). Therefore, $n=6$.

II. (25 points) Several containers are unloaded from a cargo ship, with a total weight of 10 tons, and the weight of each container does not exceed 1 ton. To ensure that these containers can be transported in one go, how many trucks with a carrying capacity of 3 tons are needed at least?
First, note that the weight of each container does not exceed 1 ton, so the weight of containers that each vehicle can carry at one time will not be less than 2 tons; otherwise, another container can be added. Let $n$ be the number of vehicles, and the weights of the containers they carry be $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{n}$, then $2 \leqslant a_{1} \leqslant 3(i=1,2, \cdots, n)$. Let the total weight of all the containers carried be $s$, then $$ 2 n \leqslant s=a_{1}+a_{2}+\cdots+a_{n} \leqslant 3 n \text {. } $$ That is, $2 n \leqslant 10 \leqslant 3 n$. Thus, $\frac{10}{3} \leqslant n \leqslant 5$, which means $n=4$ or 5. In fact, 4 vehicles are not enough. Suppose there are 13 containers, each weighing $\frac{10}{13}$ tons. Since $\frac{10}{13} \times 3 < 3$, each vehicle can only carry 3 containers, so 4 vehicles cannot carry all of them. Therefore, at least 5 trucks are needed.

Example 4 In Figure 1, there are 8 vertices, each with a real number. The real number at each vertex is exactly the average of the numbers at the 3 adjacent vertices (two vertices connected by a line segment are called adjacent vertices). Find $$ a+b+c+d-(e+f+g+h) $$
The following solution has appeared in a journal: Given $$ \begin{array}{l} a=\frac{b+e+d}{3}, \\ b=\frac{a+f+c}{3}, \\ c=\frac{b+g+d}{3}, \\ d=\frac{c+h+a}{3}. \end{array} $$ Adding the four equations yields $$ \begin{array}{l} a+b+c+d \\ =\frac{1}{3}(2 a+2 b+2 c+2 d+e+f+g+h), \end{array} $$ which simplifies to $a+b+c+d-(e+f+g+h)=0$. The above solution, though clever, has two drawbacks. First, it is too coincidental. Adding the equations to get $a+b+c+d$ is expected, but the fact that it simplifies to $a+b+c+d-(e+f+g+h)=0$ is purely coincidental. If the problem were to find $2a+b+c+d-(2e+f+g+h)$, the above method would no longer work. Second, the solution fails to reveal the essence of the problem, which is the relationship among the 8 numbers $a, b, c, d, e, f, g, h$. To solve this problem, one should first consider a specific example. To make each vertex number equal to the average of the adjacent vertex numbers, the simplest example is to take $$ a=b=c=d=e=f=g=h. $$ In fact, this is the only possibility. Without loss of generality, assume $a$ is the largest of the 8 numbers. Since $a$ is the average of $b, e, d$, $b, e, d$ must also be the largest, i.e., equal to $a$. By the same reasoning, all 8 numbers must be equal. Thus, whether it is $a+b+c+d-(e+f+g+h)$ or $2a+b+c+d-(2e+f+g+h)$, the result is clearly 0. Therefore, equations (1), (2), etc., are just superficial, while the equality of the 8 numbers is the true essence.

Example 2: When A was B's current age, B was 10 years old; when B was A's current age, A was 25 years old. Who is older, A or B? How many years older?
Solution: Let the age difference between A and B be $k$ years, which is an undetermined constant. When $k>0$, A is older than B; when $k<0$, A is younger than B. Then, A's age $y$ and B's age $x$ have a linear relationship: $$ y=x+k \text {. } $$ After designing this dynamic process, the given conditions become 3 "moments" of this process: (1) The current ages of B and A are $(x, y)$; (2) "When A was B's current age, B was 10 years old", which is equivalent to taking $(10, x)$, i.e., $$ x=10+k \text {; } $$ (3) "When B was A's current age, A was 25 years old", which is equivalent to taking $(y, 25)$, i.e., $$ 25=y+k . $$ By combining (1)+(2)+(3) and eliminating $x, y$, we get $$ k=5 \text {. } $$ Answer: A is 5 years older than B. 2.

Example 8 There are 5 medicine boxes, every 2 boxes contain one same medicine, each medicine appears in exactly 2 boxes, how many kinds of medicines are there?
Solution: Represent the medicine boxes as 5 points. When a medicine box contains the same medicine, draw a line segment between the corresponding points. Since every 2 medicine boxes have one kind of the same medicine, a line should be drawn between every two points. Also, because each kind of medicine appears in exactly 2 medicine boxes, there is exactly one line between every two points. This results in Figure 2. The number of lines in Figure 2 is the number of different medicines, so there are 10 kinds of medicines.

It is easy to see that after 9 rounds, any two teams in the same group have already played against each other. Therefore, any 4 teams have already played at least two matches, which of course does not meet the requirements of the problem. If the above program is reversed and the matches are played in the new order, then after 8 rounds, any two teams in the same group have not played against each other. Each team has played 1 match against 8 of the 9 teams in the other group. At this point, any 4 teams in the same group have not played against each other, and any 4 teams not all in the same group have played at least two matches. Of course, none of these meet the requirements of the problem. The above discussion shows that the maximum possible value of \( n \) is no more than 7. Assume that 7 rounds of matches have been played and no 4 teams meet the requirements of the problem. Select two teams \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \) that have played one match. Thus, each team has played against 6 other teams. The two teams have played against at most 12 other teams. Therefore, there are at least 4 teams \( B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4 \) that have not played against \( A_1 \) and \( A_2 \). By the assumption of contradiction, \( B_1, B_2, B_3, \) and \( B_4 \) have all played against each other. Teams \( B_1 \) and \( B_2 \) have each played 3 matches among the 4 teams \( \{B_1, B_2, B_3, B_4\} \). Thus, each team has played 1 match against 4 of the other 14 teams. This leads to at least 6 teams \( C_1, C_2, \cdots, C_6 \) that have not played against \( B_1 \) and \( B_2 \). By the assumption of contradiction, \( C_1, C_2, \cdots, C_6 \) have all played against each other. Teams \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \) have each played 5 matches among the 6 teams \( \{C_1, C_2, \cdots, C_6\} \). Thus, each team has played 1 match against 2 of the other 12 teams. Therefore, there are at least 8 teams \( D_1, D_2, \cdots, D_8 \) that have not played against \( C_1 \) and \( C_2 \). By the assumption of contradiction, these 8 teams have all played against each other. This way, \( D_1 \) and \( D_2 \) have not played against 10 other teams. Since only 7 rounds have been played, there must be two teams \( E_1 \) and \( E_2 \) among the 10 other teams that have not played against each other. Thus, \( D_1, D_2, E_1, \) and \( E_2 \) have played a total of 1 match, which contradicts the assumption of contradiction. In summary, the maximum number of rounds that can be played is 7. ```

Example 13 Given that $a$, $b$, and $c$ are all positive integers, and the parabola $y=a x^{2}+b x+c$ intersects the $x$-axis at two distinct points $A$ and $B$. If the distances from $A$ and $B$ to the origin are both less than 1, find the minimum value of $a+b+c$. (1996, National Junior High School Mathematics League)
Solution: Let $A\left(x_{1}, 0\right)$ and $B\left(x_{2}, 0\right)$, and $x_{1} < 0 < x_{2}$, then $x_{1} < 0, \\ \therefore b > 2 \sqrt{a c} . \\ \text{Also, } \because |O A| = |x_{1}| > 1$. Therefore, the parabola opens upwards, and when $x = -1$, $y > 0$, so $a(-1)^{2} + b(-1) + c > 0$, which means $b < a + c + 1$. Since $b > 2 \sqrt{a c}$, we have $2 \sqrt{a c} + 1 < a + c$, i.e., $(\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{c})^{2} > 1$. From equation (2), we get $\sqrt{a} - \sqrt{c} > 1$, i.e., $\sqrt{a} > \sqrt{c} + 1$. Thus, $a > (\sqrt{c} + 1)^{2} \geq (\sqrt{1} + 1)^{2} = 4$. Solving, we get $a \geq 5$. $$ \begin{array}{l} \text{Also, } \because b > 2 \sqrt{a c} \geq 2 \sqrt{5 \times 1} > 4, \\ \therefore b \geq 5 . \end{array} $$ When $a = 5, b = 5, c = 1$, the parabola $y = 5 x^{2} + 5 x + 1$ satisfies the given conditions. Therefore, the minimum value of $a + b + c$ is 11.

Solution: First, estimate the upper bound of $k$. When $a=b=c=d=1$, we have $4 k \leqslant 4+4, k \leqslant 2$. Next, we prove that for $a, b, c, d \in[0,1]$, it always holds that $$ \begin{array}{l} a^{2} b+b^{2} c+c^{2} d+d^{2} a+4 \\ \geqslant 2\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}\right) . \end{array} $$ First, we prove a lemma. Lemma If $x, y \in[0,1]$, then $$ x^{2} y+1 \geqslant x^{2}+y^{2} \text {. } $$ This inequality is equivalent to $(y-1)\left(x^{2}-y-1\right) \geqslant 0$. Thus, inequality (2) holds. By substituting $a, b$ and $b, c$ and $c, d$ and $d, a$ for $x, y$ in inequality (1), we get $$ \begin{array}{l} a^{2} b+1 \geqslant a^{2}+b^{2}, b^{2} c+1 \geqslant b^{2}+c^{2}, \\ c^{2} d+1 \geqslant c^{2}+d^{2}, d^{2} a+1 \geqslant d^{2}+a^{2} . \end{array} $$ Adding the above four inequalities, we obtain $$ \begin{array}{l} a^{2} b+b^{2} c+c^{2} d+d^{2} a+4 \\ \geqslant 2\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}+d^{2}\right) . \end{array} $$ In conclusion, the maximum value of $k$ is 2.

Example 6 Find the smallest positive integer $k$, such that for all $a$ satisfying $0 \leqslant a \leqslant 1$ and all positive integers $n$, we have $$ a^{k}(1-a)^{n}<\frac{1}{(n+1)^{3}} . $$
Solution: First, we aim to eliminate the parameter $a$, and then it will be easier to find the minimum value of $k$. Using the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we get $$ \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[n+k]{a^{k}\left[\frac{k}{n}(1-a)\right]^{n}} \\ \leqslant \frac{k a+n\left[\frac{k}{n}(1-a)\right]}{k+n}=\frac{k}{k+n} . \end{array} $$ Therefore, $a^{k}(1-a)^{n} \leqslant \frac{k^{k} n^{n}}{(n+k)^{n+k}}$. Equality holds if and only if $a=\frac{k(1-a)}{n}$, i.e., $a=\frac{k}{n+k}$. Thus, we need to find the smallest positive integer $k$ such that for any positive integer $n$, we have $$ \frac{k^{k} n^{n}}{(n+k)^{n+k}}<\frac{1}{(n+1)^{3}}. $$ When $k=1$, taking $n=1$ leads to a contradiction in equation (4); When $k=2$, taking $n=1$ leads to a contradiction in equation (4); When $k=3$, taking $n=3$ leads to a contradiction in equation (4). Therefore, $k \geqslant 4$. Next, we prove that when $k=4$, equation (4) holds, i.e., $$ 4^{4} n^{n}(n+1)^{3}<(n+4)^{n+4}. $$ When $n=1,2,3$, it is easy to verify that equation (5) holds. When $n \geqslant 4$, using the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we get $$ \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[n+4]{4^{4} n^{n}(n+1)^{3}} \\ =\sqrt[n+4]{16(2 n)(2 n)(2 n)(2 n) n^{n-4}(n+1)^{3}} \\ \leqslant \frac{16+4 \times 2 n+n(n-4)+3(n+1)}{n+4} \\ =\frac{n^{2}+7 n+19}{n+4}<n+4 . \end{array} $$ In conclusion, the minimum value of $k$ is 4.

Below is the proof that $N=\underbrace{101010 \cdots 01}_{k \uparrow 1}(k \geqslant 3)$ are all composite numbers (with $k-1$ zeros in between). $$ \begin{aligned} 11 N= & 11 \times \underbrace{10101 \cdots 01}_{k \uparrow 1} \\ & =\underbrace{1111 \cdots 11}_{2 k \uparrow 1}=\underbrace{11 \cdots 1}_{k \uparrow 1} \times\left(10^{k}+1\right) . \end{aligned} $$ (1) When $k$ is an odd number not less than 3, according to the divisibility rule for 11, 11 does not divide $\underbrace{11 \cdots 11}_{k \uparrow 1}$, so, $111\left(10^{k}+1\right)$, i.e., $$ \frac{10^{k}+1}{11}=M_{1}>1 \text {. } $$ Thus, $N=\underbrace{11 \cdots 11}_{k \uparrow 1} \times\left(\frac{10^{k}+1}{11}\right)=\underbrace{11 \cdots 11}_{k \uparrow 1} \times M_{1}$. Therefore, $N$ is a composite number. (2) When $k$ is an even number not less than 3, it is easy to see that $11 \mid \underbrace{11 \cdots 11}_{k \uparrow 1}$. i.e., $\frac{11 \cdots 11}{11}=M_{2}>1$. Thus, $N=\frac{\overbrace{11 \cdots 11}^{k \uparrow 1}}{11} \times\left(10^{k}+1\right)=M_{2}\left(10^{k}+1\right)$. Therefore, $N$ is a composite number. In summary, when $k \geqslant 3$, $N=\underbrace{10101 \cdots 01}_{k \uparrow 1}$ must be a composite number. Therefore, in the sequence $101,10101,1010101,101010101, \cdots \cdots$, only 101 is a prime number. (Provided by Zhou Chunluo, Capital Normal University)

Example 9 Under the conditions $x+2 y \leqslant 3, x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0$, the maximum value that $2 x+y$ can reach is $\qquad$ (2000, Hope Cup Junior High School Mathematics Competition Second Trial)
Solution: As shown in Figure 1, draw the line $x + 2y = 3$. The set of points satisfying the inequalities $x \geqslant 0, y \geqslant 0, x + 2y \leqslant 3$ is the region $\triangle ABO$ (including the boundaries) enclosed by the line and the $x$ and $y$ axes. To find the maximum value of $s = 2x + y$, we transform $s = 2x + y$ into $y = -2x + s$, whose corresponding image is a bundle of parallel lines with a slope of -2. To find the maximum value of $s$, it is converted into finding the maximum intercept of the parallel lines when they pass through $\triangle ABO$. Clearly, when the line $y = -2x + s$ passes through $A(3,0)$, the intercept $s$ is maximized, at which point $s = 6$.

Example 5 Given that a square has three vertices $A, B, C$ on the parabola $y=x^{2}$. Find the minimum value of the area of such a square. (1998, Shanghai High School Mathematics Competition)
Solution: As shown in Figure 3, without loss of generality, assume that two of the three vertices are on the right side of the $y$-axis (including the $y$-axis). Let the coordinates of points $A$, $B$, and $C$ be $\left(x_{1}, y_{1}\right)$, $\left(x_{2}, y_{2}\right)$, and $\left(x_{3}, y_{3}\right)$, respectively, and the slope of $BC$ be $k$ $(k>0)$. Then we have $$ \begin{aligned} y_{3}-y_{2} & =k\left(x_{3}-x_{2}\right), \\ y_{1}-y_{2} & =-\frac{1}{k}\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right). \end{aligned} $$ Since points $A$, $B$, and $C$ lie on the parabola, we have $y_{1}=x_{1}^{2}$, $y_{2}=x_{2}^{2}$, and $y_{3}=x_{3}^{2}$. Substituting these into the above equations, we get $$ x_{3}=k-x_{2}, \quad x_{1}=-\frac{1}{k}-x_{2}. $$ Since $|AB|=|BC|$, $$ \sqrt{\left(x_{1}-x_{2}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{1}-y_{2}\right)^{2}} = \sqrt{\left(x_{3}-x_{2}\right)^{2}+\left(y_{3}-y_{2}\right)^{2}}, $$ we have $\sqrt{1+\frac{1}{k^{2}}}\left(x_{2}-x_{1}\right)=\sqrt{1+k^{2}}\left(x_{3}-x_{2}\right)$. Therefore, $x_{2}-x_{1}=k\left(x_{3}-x_{2}\right)$. From equation (1), we get $$ \frac{1}{k}+2 x_{2}=k\left(k-2 x_{2}\right). $$ Thus, $k^{2}-\frac{1}{k}=(2 k+2) x_{2} \geqslant 0$. Solving this, we get $k \geqslant 1$, and $x_{2}=\frac{k^{3}-1}{2 k(k+1)}$. Therefore, the side length of the square is $$ \begin{array}{l} \sqrt{1+k^{2}}\left(x_{3}-x_{2}\right)=\sqrt{1+k^{2}}\left(k-2 x_{2}\right) \\ =\sqrt{1+k^{2}}\left[k-\frac{k^{3}-1}{k(k+1)}\right] \\ =\frac{k^{2}+1}{k} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{k^{2}+1}}{k+1} \geqslant \frac{2 k}{k} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{k^{2}+1}}{k+1} \\ \geqslant \frac{2 k}{k} \cdot \frac{\sqrt{\frac{1}{2}(k+1)^{2}}}{k+1}=\sqrt{2}. \end{array} $$ The equality holds if and only if $k=1$, i.e., when point $B$ is at the origin. Therefore, the minimum area of the square is 2.

Example 6 Given that $p$, $q$, $\frac{2p-1}{q}$, $\frac{2q-1}{p}$ are all integers, and $p>1$, $q>1$. Try to find the value of $p+q$.
Analysis: The conditions of this problem do not provide specific numbers. Yet, it requires finding the value of $p+q$, which poses a certain difficulty. If we analyze the given conditions one by one, we almost get no useful information. However, if we look at the conditions as a whole, i.e., consider $\frac{2 p-1}{q}$ and $\frac{2 q-1}{p}$ together, we will find that at least one of $\frac{2 p-1}{q}$ and $\frac{2 q-1}{p}$ is less than 2. Otherwise, if $\frac{2 p-1}{q} \geqslant 2$ and $\frac{2 q-1}{p} \geqslant 2$ were both true, then we would have $2 p-1 \geqslant 2 q, 2 q-1 \geqslant 2 p$. Adding these two inequalities gives $$ 2 p+2 q-2 \geqslant 2 p+2 q \text {. } $$ which simplifies to $$ -2 \geqslant 0 \text{. } $$ This is clearly impossible. By observing the given conditions as a whole, we have found a way to solve the problem. Since at least one of $\frac{2 p-1}{q}$ and $\frac{2 q-1}{p}$ is less than 2, let's assume $\frac{2 p-1}{q} < 2$. From $\frac{2 p-1}{q} < 2$, we get $2 p - 1 < 2 q$, or $2 p - 2 q < 1$. Since $p$ and $q$ are integers, the only possible solution is $2 p - 2 q = 0$, which implies $p = q$. However, this contradicts the condition that $\frac{2 p-1}{q} < 2$. Therefore, we need to consider the next possible integer values. From $\frac{2 p-1}{q} < 2$, we can try $p = 3$ and $q = 5$. Substituting these values, we get $\frac{2 \cdot 3 - 1}{5} = \frac{5}{5} = 1 < 2$, which satisfies the condition. Thus, $p = 3$ and $q = 5$. Therefore, $p+q=8$.

9.4 In Greek mythology, the "many-headed serpent" god is composed of some heads and necks, with each neck connecting two heads. With each strike of a sword, one can sever all the necks connected to a certain head $A$. However, head $A$ immediately grows new necks connecting to all the heads it was not previously connected to (each head is connected by only one neck). Only by severing the "many-headed serpent" into two mutually disconnected parts can it be defeated. Try to find the smallest natural number $N$ such that for any "many-headed serpent" god with 100 necks, it can be defeated with no more than $N$ strikes.
9.410 . We will reformulate the problem using graph theory terminology, with heads as vertices, necks as edges, and a strike that cuts the necks connected to head $A$ as a "reversal" of vertex $A$. It is easy to see that if a vertex $X$ has a degree no greater than 10, then it is sufficient to perform a "reversal" on all vertices adjacent to $X$ to make vertex $X$ "isolated". If a vertex $X$ is not adjacent to at most $n (n \leqslant 9)$ vertices, then it is sufficient to first perform a "reversal" on $X$, and then perform a "reversal" on each of these $n$ vertices to make vertex $X$ "isolated". If each vertex has at least 11 adjacent vertices and at least 10 non-adjacent vertices, then there must be at least 22 vertices. Thus, the number of edges (necks) is no less than $22 \times 11 > 100$, which is not within the scope of consideration. We provide an example to show that 9 strikes may not be sufficient. Assume there are two groups of 10 heads each, with each head in one group connected to each head in the other group, resulting in exactly 100 necks. If 9 strikes are made, then there is at least one head in each group that is not struck, denoted as $A$ and $B$. For the remaining 18 heads, by the problem's conditions, any head $C$ is connected to exactly one of $A$ or $B$ at any time (during the 9 strikes), and not to the other. Since $A$ and $B$ are connected, the "many-headed snake" remains connected.

Three, (25 points) Find the smallest positive integer $n$, such that among any $n$ irrational numbers, there are always 3 numbers, where the sum of any two of them is still irrational.
Three, take 4 irrational numbers $\{\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3},-\sqrt{2},-\sqrt{3}\}$, clearly they do not satisfy the condition, hence $n \geqslant 5$. Consider 5 irrational numbers $a, b, c, d, e$. View them as 5 points. If the sum of two numbers is a rational number, then connect the corresponding two points with a red line; otherwise, connect them with a blue line. (1) There is no red triangle. Otherwise, assume without loss of generality that $a+b, b+c, c+a$ are all rational numbers. Since $(a+b)+(c+a)-(b+c)=2a$, this contradicts the fact that $a$ is irrational. (2) There must be a monochromatic triangle. Otherwise, the graph must contain a red cycle, with the 5 numbers at the vertices, where the sum of any two is a rational number. Suppose $a+b, b+c, c+d, d+e, e+a$ are rational numbers, then by $(a+b)-(b+c)+(c+d)-(d+e)+(e+a)=2a$ we derive a contradiction. Thus, the monochromatic triangle must be a blue triangle. Therefore, the minimum value of $n$ is 5.

Example 2 Determine the smallest natural number $k$, such that for any $a \in [0,1]$ and any $n \in \mathbf{N}$ we have $$ a^{k}(1-a)^{n}<\frac{1}{(n+1)^{3}} . $$
Solution: By the arithmetic-geometric mean inequality, we have $$ \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[n+k]{a^{k}\left[\frac{k}{n}(1-a)\right]^{n}} \\ \leqslant \frac{k a+n\left[\frac{k}{n}(1-a)\right]}{n+k}=\frac{k}{n+k} . \end{array} $$ Thus, $a^{k}(1-a)^{n} \leqslant \frac{k^{k} n^{n}}{(n+k)^{n+k}}$. Equality holds if and only if $a=\frac{k(1-a)}{n}\left(\right.$ i.e., $\left.a=\frac{k}{n+k}\right)$. This means that when $a=\frac{k}{n+k}(\in[0,1])$, $a^{k}(1-a)^{n}$ attains its maximum value. Therefore, the problem can be reformulated as: determine the smallest natural number $k$ such that for any $n \in \mathbf{N}$, $$ \frac{k^{k} n^{n}}{(n+k)^{n+k}}<\frac{1}{(n+1)^{3}} . $$ It is easy to verify that for the pairs $(k, n)=(1,1),(2,1)$, $(3,3)$, inequality (1) does not hold. Therefore, for it to hold for all $n \in \mathbf{N}$, we must have $k \geqslant 4$. Next, we prove that when $k=4$, inequality (1) holds, i.e., for all $n \in \mathbf{N}$, we have $4^{4} n^{n}(n+1)^{3}<(n+4)^{n+4}$. Indeed, for $n=1,2,3$, this can be directly verified. For $n \geqslant 4$, we have $$ \begin{array}{l} \sqrt[n+1]{4^{4} n^{n}(n+1)^{3}} \\ =\sqrt[n+4]{16 \times(2 n)(2 n)(2 n)(2 n) n^{n-4}(n+1)^{3}} \\ \leqslant \frac{16+8 n+(n-4) n+3(n+1)}{n+4} \\ =\frac{n^{2}+7 n+19}{n+4}<\frac{n^{2}+8 n+16}{n+4}=n+4, \end{array} $$ i.e., $4^{4} n^{n}(n+1)^{3}<(n+4)^{n+4}$. In summary, the smallest value of $k$ is 4.

II. (25 points) Let $a$, $b$, and $c$ be three distinct real numbers, and $c \neq 1$. It is known that the equations $x^{2} + a x + 1 = 0$ and $x^{2} + b x + c = 0$ have a common root, and the equations $x^{2} + x + a = 0$ and $x^{2} + c x + b = 0$ also have a common root. Find the value of $a + b + c$.
Let the common root of the first two equations be $x_{1}$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} x_{1}^{2}+a x_{1}+1=0, \\ x_{1}^{2}+b x_{1}+c=0 . \end{array} $$ (2) (1) - (2) gives $(a-b) x_{1}+(1-c)=0$. $$ \because a \neq b, \quad \therefore x_{1}=\frac{c-1}{a-b} \text {. } $$ Similarly, the common root of the last two equations is $x_{2}=\frac{a-b}{c-1}$. $$ \therefore x_{2}=\frac{1}{x_{1}} \text {. } $$ By Vieta's formulas, the other root of the equation $x^{2}+a x+1=0$ is $\frac{1}{x_{1}}$. Therefore, $x_{2}$ is the common root of the equations $x^{2}+a x+1=0$ and $x^{2}+x+a=0$. Thus, we have $$ x_{2}^{2}+a x_{2}+1=0, \quad x_{2}^{2}+x_{2}+a=0 . $$ Subtracting these gives $(a-1)\left(x_{2}-1\right)=0$. When $a=1$, these two equations have no real roots, so $a \neq 1$. Hence, we have $x_{2}=1$, and thus $x_{1}=1$. Therefore, $a=-2, b+c=-1$. $$ \therefore a+b+c=-3 . $$

8.3. It is easy to find that the coefficients of the first three terms are $1, \frac{1}{2} n, \frac{1}{8} n(n-1)$. Since these three numbers form an arithmetic sequence, we have $2 \times \frac{1}{2} n=1+\frac{1}{8} n(n-1)$. Solving this, we get $n=8$ and $n=1$ (the latter is discarded). When $n=8$, $T_{r+1}=\mathrm{C}_{8}^{r}\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)^{r} x^{\frac{(16-3 r)}{4}}$, where $r=0$, $1, \cdots, 8$. $r$ must satisfy $4 \mid(16-3 r)$, so $r$ can only be $0,4,8$.

Example 5 In the school football championship, it is required that each team must play a match against all the other teams. Each winning team gets 2 points, a draw gives each team 1 point, and a losing team gets 0 points. It is known that one team scored the most points, but it played fewer matches than any other team. How many teams participated at least?
Explanation: We call the team $A$ with the highest score the winning team. Suppose team $A$ wins $n$ matches and draws $m$ matches, then the total score of team $A$ is $2n + m$ points. From the given conditions, every other team must play at least $n+1$ matches, meaning they score no less than $2(n+1)$ points. Therefore, $2n + m > 2(n+1)$. This implies $m \geqslant 3$. Thus, there must be a team that draws with the winning team $A$, and this team's score should be no less than $2(n+1) + 1$ points, i.e., $$ 2n + m > 2(n+1) + 1, \quad m \geqslant 4. $$ Let there be $x$ teams in total, then the winner must win at least one match. Otherwise, its score would not exceed $x-1$ points. In this case, any other team's score would be strictly less than $x-1$ points, and the total score of all participating teams would be less than $x(x-1)$ points, but the total score of $x$ participating teams is $x(x-1)$ points, leading to a contradiction. Thus, $m \geqslant 4, n \geqslant 1$, meaning the winning team $A$ must play at least 5 matches, and therefore, there must be at least 6 teams participating. From this, we can estimate: at least 6 teams are participating in the competition. We can construct a match points table: Table 1 shows 6 teams (let's call them $A, B, C, D, E, F$) participating, with the winning team $A$ having the highest score and the fewest draws. Table 1 Match Points Table \begin{tabular}{|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|c|} \hline & $A$ & $B$ & $C$ & $D$ & $E$ & $F$ & Score \\ \hline 4 & lle & 1 & 1 & 1 & 1 & 2 & 6 \\ \hline$B$ & 1 & lle & 2 & 0 & 0 & 2 & 5 \\ \hline i & 1 & 0 & Illo & 0 & 2 & 2 & 5 \\ \hline$D$ & 1 & 2 & 2 & & 0 & 0 & 5 \\ \hline$E$ & 1 & 2 & 0 & 2 & & 0 & 5 \\ \hline $\boldsymbol{r}$ & 0 & 0 & 0 & 2 & 2 & 16 & 4 \\ \hline \end{tabular}

15. Let the quadratic function $f(x)=a x^{2}+b x+c(a, b, c \in \mathbf{R}$, $a \neq 0$ ) satisfy the following conditions: (1) For $x \in \mathbf{R}$, $f(x-4)=f(2-x)$, and $f(x) \geqslant x$; (2) For $x \in(0,2)$, $f(x) \leqslant\left(\frac{x+1}{2}\right)^{2}$; (3) The minimum value of $f(x)$ on $\mathbf{R}$ is 0. Find the largest $m(m>1)$. Such that there exists $t \in \mathbf{R}$, for any $x \in[1, m]$, we have $f(x+t) \leqslant x$.
15. Since $f(x-4)=f(2-x)$, the graph of the function is symmetric about $x=-1$. Therefore, $-\frac{b}{2a}=-1, b=2a$. From (3), when $x=-1$, $y=0$, i.e., $a-b+c=0$. From (1), $f(1) \geqslant 1$, and from (2), $f(1) \leqslant 1$, thus $f(1)=1$, i.e., $a+b+c=1$. Also, $a-b+c=0$, so $b=\frac{1}{2}, a=\frac{1}{4}, c=\frac{1}{4}$. Hence, $f(x)=\frac{1}{4} x^{2}+\frac{1}{2} x+\frac{1}{4}$. Assume there exists $t \in \mathbf{R}$, such that for any $x \in[1, m]$, $f(x+t) \leqslant x$. Taking $x=1$, we have $f(t+1) \leqslant 1$, i.e., $\frac{1}{4}(t+1)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(t+1)+\frac{1}{4} \leqslant 1$. Solving this, we get $-4 \leqslant t \leqslant 0$. For a fixed $t \in[-4,0]$, taking $x=m$, we have $f(t+m) \leqslant m$, i.e., $\frac{1}{4}(t+m)^{2}+\frac{1}{2}(t+m)+\frac{1}{4} \leqslant m$. Simplifying, we get $m^{2}-2(1-t) m+\left(t^{2}+2 t+1\right) \leqslant 0$. Solving this, we get $1-t-\sqrt{-4 t} \leqslant m \leqslant 1-t+\sqrt{-4 t}$. Thus, $m \leqslant 1-t+\sqrt{-4 t} \leqslant 1-(-4)+\sqrt{-4(-4)}=9$. When $t=-4$, for any $x \in[1,9]$, we always have $$ \begin{array}{l} f(x-4)-x=\frac{1}{4}\left(x^{2}-10 x+9\right) \\ =\frac{1}{4}(x-1)(x-9) \leqslant 0 . \end{array} $$ Therefore, the maximum value of $m$ is 9.

2. Let $A B C D$ be a rectangle with an area of 2, and let $P$ be a point on side $C D$. Let $Q$ be the point where the incircle of $\triangle P A B$ touches side $A B$. The product $P A \cdot P B$ varies with the changes in rectangle $A B C D$ and point $P$. When $P A \cdot P B$ is minimized, (1) Prove: $A B \geqslant 2 B C$; (2) Find the value of $A Q \cdot B Q$. (Ruo Zengru)
Thus, $\frac{1}{2} P A \cdot P B \sin \angle A P B=1$, which means $P A \cdot P B=\frac{2}{\sin \angle A P B} \geqslant 2$. Equality holds only when $\angle A P B=90^{\circ}$. This indicates that point $P$ lies on the circle with $A B$ as its diameter, and this circle should intersect with $C D$, Therefore, when $P A \cdot P B$ takes its minimum value, we should have $B C \leqslant \frac{A B}{2}$, i.e., $A B \geqslant 2 B C$. (2) Let the inradius of $\triangle A P B$ be $r$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} P A \cdot P B=(r+A Q)(r+B Q) \\ =r(r+A Q+B Q)+A Q \cdot B Q . \end{array} $$ And $P A \cdot P B=2 S_{\triangle A P B}, r(r+A Q+B Q)=S_{\triangle A P B}$, Thus, $A Q \cdot B Q=S_{\triangle A P B}=1$.

5. Let $\triangle A B C$ be an acute triangle, and construct isosceles triangles $\triangle D A C$, $\triangle E A B$, and $\triangle F B C$ outside $\triangle A B C$ such that $D A = D C$, $E A = E B$, and $F B = F C$, with $\angle A D C = 2 \angle B A C$, $\angle B E A = 2 \angle A B C$, and $\angle C F B = 2 \angle A C B$. Let $D^{\prime}$ be the intersection of line $D B$ and $E F$, $E^{\prime}$ be the intersection of $E C$ and $D F$, and $F^{\prime}$ be the intersection of $F A$ and $D E$. Find the value of $\frac{D B}{D D^{\prime}} + \frac{E C}{E E^{\prime}} + \frac{F A}{F F^{\prime}}$.
Solution: Since $\angle ABC$ is an acute triangle, then $\angle ADC$, $\angle BEA$, $\angle CFB < \pi$. Therefore, $$ \begin{array}{l} \angle DAC = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \angle ADC = \frac{\pi}{2} - \angle BAC. \\ \angle BAE = \frac{\pi}{2} - \frac{1}{2} \angle BEA = \frac{\pi}{2} - \angle ABC. \\ \text{Thus, } \angle DAE = \angle DAC + \angle BAC + \angle BAE \\ = \pi - \angle ABC < \pi. \\ \end{array} $$ Similarly, $\angle EBF < \pi$, $\angle FCD < \pi$. Therefore, the hexagon $DAEBCF$ is a convex hexagon, and $$ \begin{array}{l} \angle ADC + \angle BEA + \angle CFB \\ = 2(\angle BAC + \angle ABC + \angle ACB) = 2\pi. \end{array} $$ Let $w_1$, $w_2$, $w_3$ be the circles with centers at $D$, $E$, $F$ and radii $DA$, $EB$, $FC$ respectively. Since $\angle ADC + \angle BEA + \angle CFB = 2\pi$, these three circles intersect at a common point. Let this point be $O$, as shown in Figure 7. Then $O$ is the reflection of $C$ over $DF$. Similarly, $O$ is also the reflection of $A$ over $DE$ and $B$ over $EF$. Therefore, $$ \begin{array}{l} \frac{DB}{DD'} = \frac{DD' + D'B}{DD'} = 1 + \frac{D'B}{DD'} \\ = 1 + \frac{S_{\triangle AKB}}{S_{\triangle FDF}} = 1 + \frac{S_{\triangle EOF}}{S_{\triangle DHF}}. \\ \end{array} $$ Similarly, $$ \begin{array}{l} \frac{EC}{EE'} = 1 + \frac{S_{\triangle DFO}}{S_{\triangle DEF}} \cdot \frac{FA}{FF'} = 1 + \frac{S_{\triangle LDE}}{S_{\triangle UEF}}. \\ \text{Thus, } \frac{DB}{DD'} + \frac{EC}{EE'} + \frac{FA}{FF'} \\ = 3 + \frac{S_{\triangle OEF} + S_{\triangle ODF} + S_{\triangle UOF}}{S_{\triangle OHF}} = 4. \\ \end{array} $$

3. Let $a_{1}=11^{11}, a_{2}=12^{12}, a_{3}=13^{13}$, and $$ a_{n}=\left|a_{n-1}-a_{n-2}\right|+\left|a_{n-2}-a_{n-3}\right|, n \geqslant 4 \text {. } $$ Find $a_{4^{4}}$.
For $n \geqslant 2$, define $s_{n}=\left|a_{n}-a_{n-1}\right|$. Then for $n \geqslant 5, a_{n}=s_{n-1}+s_{n-2}, a_{n-1}=s_{n-2}+s_{n-3}$. Thus, $s_{n}=$ $\left|s_{n-1}-s_{n-3}\right|$. Since $s_{n} \geqslant 0$, if $\max \left\{s_{n}, s_{n+1}, s_{n+2}\right\} \leqslant T$, then for all $m \geqslant n$, we have $s_{m} \leqslant T$. In particular, the sequence $\left\{s_{n}\right\}$ is bounded. We will prove the following proposition: If for some $i, \max \left|s_{i}, s_{i+1}, s_{i+2}\right|=T \geqslant 2$, then $\max \left\{s_{1+6}, s_{1+7}, s_{1+8}\right\} \leqslant T-1$. Proof by contradiction. If the above conclusion does not hold, then for $j=i, i+1, \cdots, i+6$, we have $\max \left\{s_{j}, s_{j+1}, s_{j+2}\right\}=T \geqslant 2$. For $s_{t}, s_{t+1}$, or $s_{t+2}=T$, take $j=i, i+1$, or $i+2$ accordingly, so the sequence $s_{j}, s_{j+1}, s_{j+2}, \cdots$ has the form $T, x, y, T-y, \cdots$, where $0 \leqslant x, y \leqslant T, \max \{x, y, T-y\}=T$. Therefore, either $x=T$, or $y=T$, or $y=0$. (1) If $x=T$, then the sequence has the form $T, T, y, T-y, y, \cdots$. Thus $\max \mid y, T-y, y\}=T$. So $y=T$ or $y=0$. (2) If $y=T$, then the sequence has the form $T, x, T, 0, x, T-x, \cdots$. Since $\max \mid 0, x, T-x=T$, so $x=0$ or $x=T$. (3) If $y=0$, then the sequence has the form $T, x, 0, T, T-x, T-x, x, \cdots$. Since $\max \{T-x, T-x, x\}=T$, so $x=0$ or $x=T$. In each of the above cases, $x$ and $y$ are either 0 or $T$. In particular, $T$ must divide every term in $s_{j}, s_{j+1}$, and $s_{j+2}$. Since $\max \left\{s_{2}, s_{3}, s_{4}\right\}=s_{3}=T$, for $n \geqslant 4$, $T$ divides $s_{n}$. However, when $s_{4}=11^{11}6(N-1)+4$, $a_{n}=s_{n-1}+s_{n-2}=0,1$ or 2. In particular, $a_{M}=0,1$ or 2. Since $M$ is a multiple of 7, $a_{M} \equiv a_{7} \equiv 1(\bmod 2)$, hence $a_{M}=1$.

Analysis: According to Basic Conclusion 10, the triangular pyramid can be expanded into a rectangular parallelepiped, making the known three edges the diagonals of the faces of the rectangular parallelepiped. At this point, the original triangular pyramid and the rectangular parallelepiped have the same circumscribed sphere. Let the three edges at the same vertex of the rectangular parallelepiped be $x$, $y$, and $z$, respectively. Then, from the conditions, we have $y^{2}+z^{2}=9$, $z^{2}+x^{2}=10$, and $x^{2}+y^{2}=13$. According to this, the radius of the required circumscribed sphere is $$ \frac{1}{2} \sqrt{x^{2}+y^{2}+z^{2}}=2 \text {. } $$

Three, try to find all positive integers $k$, such that for any positive numbers $a, b, c$ satisfying the inequality $$ k(a b+b c+c a)>5\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right) $$ there must exist a triangle with side lengths $a, b, c$.
Three, due to $(a-b)^{2}+(b-c)^{2}+(c-a)^{2} \geqslant 0$, thus $a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2} \geqslant a b+b c+c a$. It can be known that $k>5$. Noting that $k$ is a positive integer, therefore, $k \geqslant 6$. Since there does not exist a triangle with side lengths $1,1,2$, according to the problem, we have $$ k(1 \times 1+1 \times 2+1 \times 2) \leqslant 5\left(1^{2}+1^{2}+2^{2}\right), $$ which means $k \leqslant 6$. The following proves that $k=6$ satisfies the problem's requirements. Assume without loss of generality that $a \leqslant b \leqslant c$, then $$ 6(a b+b c+c a)>5\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right), $$ that is $$ \begin{array}{l} 5 c^{2}-6(a+b) c+5 a^{2}+5 b^{2}-6 a b5\left(a^{2}+b^{2}+c^{2}\right) \end{array} $$ a contradiction. Hence $c<a+b$. Method two: Construct a function $$ f(x)=5 x^{2}-6(a+b) x+5 a^{2}+5 b^{2}-6 a b \text {. } $$ Then $f(c)<0$. Since $f(x)$ is increasing in the interval $\left[\frac{3}{5}(a+b),+\infty\right)$, and $$ \begin{aligned} f(a+b)= & 5(a+b)^{2}-6(a+b)(a+b)+5 a^{2}+ \\ & 5 b^{2}-6 a b=4(a-b)^{2} \geqslant 0, \end{aligned} $$ thus $c<a+b$.

Example 5 Lift Your Veil A 101-digit natural number $A=\underbrace{88 \cdots 8}_{\text {S0 digits }} \square \underbrace{99 \cdots 9}_{\text {S0 digits }}$ is divisible by 7. What is the digit covered by $\square$?
Explanation: “ $\square$ ” is a veil, covering the number to be found. To lift the veil, whether approaching from the front or the back, there are 50 digits in between, which is too many. The key is to find a way to reduce the number of digits. The difference between two multiples of 7 is still a multiple of 7. We already know that $A$ is a multiple of 7. Find another multiple of 7, $B$, such that all its digits are 1. Through trial division, we find $$ B=111111=7 \times 15873 . $$ From this, we see that $8 B=888888$ and $9 B=999999$ are also multiples of 7. Removing 888888 from the front of the number $A$ is equivalent to subtracting $88888800 \cdots 0$ (95 zeros) from $A$. Therefore, the resulting number is still a multiple of 7. Continuing this process, we can remove 6 eights from the front each time, until a total of 48 eights have been removed. Similarly, we can remove 6 nines from the back of $A$ each time, until a total of 48 nines have been removed. Finally, a 5-digit number 88 $\square$ 99 remains, which is a multiple of 7. The problem is simplified to finding a 5-digit number $C$, which starts with 88 and ends with 99, and is a multiple of 7. The result is $$ \begin{aligned} C & =(49+350)+(84000+4200) \\ & =88599 . \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, the digit covered by $\square$ is 5.

3.10 . As shown in Figure 5, construct the symmetric points $P_{1}, P_{2}$ of $P$ with respect to the sides $O A, O B$ of $\angle A O B$. Connect $P_{1} P_{2}$, intersecting $O A, O B$ at $Q, R$. Connect $P Q, P R$. It is easy to see that $$ P Q=P_{1} Q, P R=P_{2} R, $$ which implies $$ \begin{aligned} l_{\triangle P Q N} & =P_{1} Q+Q R+P_{2} R \\ & =P_{1} P_{2} . \end{aligned} $$ Thus, $\triangle P Q R$ is the triangle with the minimum perimeter. Given that $O P=O P_{1}=O P_{2}=10$, $$ \angle P O Q=\angle P_{1} O Q, \angle P O R=\angle P_{2} O R, $$ we have $$ \begin{aligned} \angle P_{1} O P_{2} & =2 \angle P O Q+2 \angle P O R \\ & =2(\angle P O Q+\angle P O R)=2 \angle A O B=60^{\circ} . \end{aligned} $$ Therefore, $\triangle P_{1} O P_{2}$ is an equilateral triangle, Thus, $P_{1} P_{2}=P_{1} O=10$. Hence, the minimum perimeter of $\triangle P Q R$ is 10.

Three, (25 points) Given theorem: “For any prime number $n$ greater than 3, $b$ and $c$ satisfy the equation $2a + 5b = c$. Then $a + b + c$ is how many times the integer $n$? Prove your conclusion.” Translate the above text into English, please retain the original text's line breaks and format, and output the translation result directly.
Three, the maximum possible value of $n$ is 9. First, we prove that $a+b+c$ is divisible by 3. In fact, $a+b+c=a+b+2a+5b=3(a+2b)$. Thus, $a+b+c$ is a multiple of 3. Let the remainders when $a$ and $b$ are divided by 3 be $r_{a}$ and $r_{b}$, respectively, with $r_{a} \neq 0$ and $r_{b} \neq 0$. If $r_{a} \neq r_{b}$, then $r_{a}=1, r_{b}=2$ or $r_{a}=2, r_{b}=1$. In this case, $2a+5b$ must be a multiple of 3, meaning $c$ is a composite number. This is a contradiction. Therefore, $r_{a}=r_{b}$, so $r_{a}=r_{b}=1$ or $r_{a}=r_{b}=2$. In this case, $a+2b$ must be a multiple of 3, and thus $a+b+c$ is a multiple of 9. Next, we prove that 9 is the largest. Since $2 \times 11 + 5 \times 5 = 47$ and $11 + 5 + 47 = 63$, and $2 \times 13 + 5 \times 7 = 61$ and $13 + 7 + 61 = 81$, and $(63, 81) = 9$, therefore, 9 is the maximum possible value.

Example 7 Multiplicative Magic Square Figure 1 shows a partially filled magic square. Fill in the following nine numbers: $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, 1,2,4,8,16,32,64$ in the grid so that the product of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal is the same. The number that should be filled in the “ $x$ ” cell is $\qquad$ .
Explanation: Label the unfilled cells with letters, as shown in Figure 2. The product of the nine known numbers is $$ \frac{1}{4} \times \frac{1}{2} \times 8 \times 1 \times 2 \times 32 \times 4 \times 16 \times 64=64^{3} \text {. } $$ Therefore, the fixed product of the three numbers in each row, each column, and each diagonal is 64. Since the fixed product is 64, we get from the second column and the third row respectively $$ a c=1, e f=1 . $$ Thus, $a, c, e, f$ are each one of the numbers $\frac{1}{4}, \frac{1}{2}, 2, 4$. Considering the product of the first row, we get $a x=2$. This means $x$ can only be 1 or 8. Considering the product of the diagonal, we get $64=c e x$. If $x=1$, then $c e=64$, which is impossible. The only possibility is $x=8$. The filling method is shown in Figure 3. The answer to this problem is: The number to be filled in the “$x$” cell should be 8.

2. (C). It is easy to prove that $\mathrm{Rt} \triangle C D F \cong \mathrm{Rt} \triangle C B E$. Therefore, $C F=C E$. Since the area of Rt $\triangle C E F$ is 200, i.e., $\frac{1}{2} \cdot C F \cdot C E=200$, hence $C E=20$. And $S_{\text {square } B C D}=B C^{2}=256$, so $B C=16$. By the Pythagorean theorem, $B E=\sqrt{C E^{2}-B C^{2}}=12$.

Thus, $a_{1}^{2}+a_{2}^{2}+\cdots+a_{n}^{2}>b_{1}^{2}+b_{2}^{2}+\cdots+b_{n}^{2}$, contradicting the given condition. Therefore, the maximum value of $F$ is 1.

7.1 . Since $4=x+\frac{1}{y}=x+\frac{1}{1-\frac{1}{z}}=x+\frac{z}{z-1}$ $=x+\frac{\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{x}}{\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{x}-1}=x+\frac{7 x-3}{4 x-3}$, then $4(4 x-3)=x(4 x-3)+7 x-3$, which simplifies to $(2 x-3)^{2}=0$. Thus, $x=\frac{3}{2}$. Therefore, $z=\frac{7}{3}-\frac{1}{x}=\frac{5}{3}, y=1-\frac{1}{z}=\frac{2}{5}$. Hence, $x y z=\frac{3}{2} \times \frac{2}{5} \times \frac{5}{3}=1$.

10. -4 . From the given, we have $\left\{\begin{array}{l}a-b+c=4, \\ 4 a+2 b+c=1,\end{array}\right.$ solving this yields $\left\{\begin{array}{l}b=-a-1, \\ c=3-2 a .\end{array}\right.$ Since the graph of the quadratic function intersects the $x$-axis at two distinct points, we have, $$ \begin{array}{l} \Delta=b^{2}-4 a c>0, \\ (-a-1)^{2}-4 a(3-2 a)>0, \end{array} $$ which simplifies to $(9 a-1)(a-1)>0$. Since $a$ is a positive integer, we have $a>1$, so $a \geqslant 2$. Since $b+c=-3 a+2 \leqslant-4$, and when $a=2, b=$ $-3, c=-1$, the conditions are satisfied, hence the maximum value of $b+c$ is -4.

14. (1) Without loss of generality, let $a$ be the maximum of $a, b, c$, i.e., $a \geqslant b, a \geqslant c$. From the problem, we know $a>0$, and $b+c=2-a, bc=\frac{4}{a}$. Therefore, $b, c$ are the two real roots of the quadratic equation $x^{2}-(2-a)x+\frac{4}{a}=0$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} \Delta=(2-a)^{2}-4 \times \frac{4}{a} \geqslant 0, \\ a^{3}-4 a^{2}+4 a-16 \geqslant 0, \\ \left(a^{2}+4\right)(a-4) \geqslant 0 . \end{array} $$ Thus, $a \geqslant 4$. When $a=4, b=c=-1$, the conditions are satisfied. Therefore, the minimum value of the maximum among $a, b, c$ is 4. (2) Since $abc>0$, $a, b, c$ are either all positive or one positive and two negative. (i) If $a, b, c$ are all positive, then from (1), the maximum of $a, b, c$ is not less than 4, which contradicts $a+b+c=2$. (ii) If $a, b, c$ are one positive and two negative, let $a>0, b<0, c<0$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} |a|+|b|+|c|=a-b-c \\ =a-(2-a)=2a-2 . \end{array} $$ From (1), we know $a \geqslant 4$, hence $2a-2 \geqslant 6$. When $a=4, b=c=-1$, the conditions are satisfied and the equality holds. Therefore, the minimum value of $|a|+|b|+|c|$ is 6.

From (1) and (2), we have $-2 \leqslant a-2 b \leqslant 1$. Therefore, the maximum value of $a-2 b$ is 1, at which point $b=\frac{a-1}{2}$. Substituting into (1) and (2) gives $0 \leqslant a \leqslant 1, 1 \leqslant a \leqslant 3$. This implies $a=1, b=0$. Hence, $8 a+2002 b=8$.

8. A $9 \times 9$ grid of squares is colored in two colors, black and white, such that the number of black squares adjacent to each white square is greater than the number of white squares, and the number of white squares adjacent to each black square is greater than the number of black squares (squares sharing a common edge are considered adjacent). Find the maximum difference in the number of black and white squares. (53rd Belarusian Mathematical Olympiad (Final D Class))
Solution: A coloring scheme of a square matrix that satisfies the problem's conditions is called a good scheme. For a good coloring scheme, it is easy to prove the following conclusions: (1) If two adjacent cells have the same color and are in different rows (or columns), then any two adjacent cells in these two rows (columns) have the same color, and these colors alternate between black and white (as shown in Figure 2). (2) Three consecutive cells cannot have the same color. (3) If a corner cell is white (black), then the adjacent cell is black (white). (4) If there are two adjacent cells of the same color in a certain column (row), then it is impossible to have two adjacent cells of the same color in any other row (column). From these conclusions, we can deduce that if there are no two adjacent cells of the same color in a certain column (row), then the colors of the other cells in the matrix depend solely on the coloring of this column (row). Therefore, we only need to check the color distribution of the first column (row). It is easy to see that if the matrix is colored like a chessboard, the maximum difference between the number of black and white cells is 1. Consider the case where there are two adjacent cells of the same color in the first row. From (1) to (4), we can deduce that the number of black and white cells in any two adjacent rows is the same, so the difference between the number of black and white cells is equal to the difference in the first row. It is easy to see that the difference in the number of black and white cells in the first row is 3 (as shown in Figure 3). When there are two adjacent cells of the same color in the first column, we can draw the same conclusion. From (4), we know that any good coloring scheme cannot have two adjacent cells of the same color in both the first row and the first column simultaneously. In summary, the maximum difference between the number of black and white cells is 3.

If no three segments can form a triangle, find the maximum value of $n$, and how many ways there are to cut the wire into $n$ segments that satisfy the condition.
17. Since the sum of $n$ segments is a fixed value of $150(\mathrm{~cm})$, to make $n$ as large as possible, the length of each segment must be as small as possible. Given that the length of each segment is no less than $1(\mathrm{~cm})$, and no three segments can form a triangle, the lengths of these segments can only be $1,1,2,3,5,8$, $13,21,34,55,89, \cdots$. But $1+1+2+\cdots+34+55=143<150$, hence the maximum value of $n$ is 10.

Three, let $P=\frac{a+b+c}{a b c}$. In equation (1), let $a$ and $b$ remain unchanged, and only let $c$ vary, where $c$ can take any integer from 1 to 9. Then, from $P=\frac{a+b+c}{a b c}=\frac{1}{a b}+\frac{a+b}{a b c}$, we know that when $c=1$, $P$ reaches its maximum value, so $c=1$. Thus, $P=\frac{a+b+1}{a b}=\frac{1}{a}+\frac{a+1}{a b}$. In equation (2), let $a$ remain unchanged, and only let $b$ vary, where $b$ can take any integer from 2 to 9. Then, from equation (2), we know that when $b=2$, $P$ reaches its maximum value, so $b=2$. At this point, $P=\frac{1}{2}+\frac{3}{2 a}$. In equation (3), $P$ reaches its maximum value when $a$ takes its minimum value, and $a$ can take any integer from 3 to 9, so $a=3$. Therefore, when $a=3, b=2, c=1$ (the letters can be interchanged), $P$ reaches its maximum value of 1. (Shen Xueming, Changqiao Middle School, Wuzhong District, Suzhou City, Jiangsu Province, 215128)

Three. (50 points) In a $\left(2^{n}-1\right) \times\left(2^{n}-1\right)(n$ $\geqslant 2)$ grid, each cell is filled with 1 or -1. If the number in any cell is equal to the product of the numbers in the cells that share an edge with it, then this filling method is called "successful". Find the total number of "successful" fillings. In a $\left(2^{n}-1\right) \times\left(2^{n}-1\right)(n$ $\geqslant 2)$ grid, each cell is filled with 1 or -1. If the number in any cell is equal to the product of the numbers in the cells that share an edge with it, then this filling method is called "successful". Find the total number of "successful" fillings.
Three, assuming there exists some successful filling method that contains -1. First, prove: if this successful filling method is symmetric about the middle column (row), then the middle column (row) is entirely 1. Let $a_{0}=1, a_{2}^{n}=1$. If $a_{1}=1$, by $a_{1}=a_{0} \times a_{2} \times 1$, we get $a_{2}=1$. Similarly, $a_{3}=1, \cdots$, $a_{2^{n}-1}=1$. If $a_{2}^{n}-1=1$, similarly, we get $a_{1}=a_{2}=\cdots=a_{2}-2=1$. Therefore, if $a_{1}=-1$, then $a_{2}^{n}-1=-1$. This way, $$ \begin{array}{l} a_{1}=-1, a_{2}=-1, a_{3}=1, a_{4}=-1, a_{5}=-1, a_{6} \\ =1, \cdots, a_{2}^{n}-2=-1, a_{2}^{n}-1=-1, a_{2}^{n}=1 \text {. Thus } 312^{2}, \end{array} $$ a contradiction. Therefore, the middle column (row) is entirely 1. Secondly, if this successful filling method is not symmetric about the middle column, first rotate this filling method 180° along the middle column, to get another filling method, then multiply the numbers in the same positions of the two filling methods, to get a successful filling method symmetric about the middle column, which contains -1. This successful filling method can be further transformed into a successful filling method that is symmetric about both the middle row and the middle column, which contains -1. For such a $\left(2^{n}-1\right) \times\left(2^{n}-1\right)$ successful filling method, removing all 1s in the middle row and the middle column, we can get 4 $\left(2^{n-1}-1\right) \times\left(2^{n-1}-1\right)$ successful filling methods, at least one of which contains -1. For this successful filling method, repeat the above operation, and eventually, we can get a $3 \times 3$ successful filling method, which contains -1, but the middle row and the middle column are all 1, which contradicts the definition of a successful filling method. Therefore, for any successful filling method, it must not contain -1. Hence, there is only 1 successful filling method, which is to fill each cell with 1.

Three, (50 points) Try to find the smallest possible value of the positive integer $k$, such that the following proposition holds: For any $k$ integers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \cdots, a_{k}$ (equality is allowed), there must exist corresponding $k$ integers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{k}$ (equality is also allowed), and $\left|x_{i}\right| \leqslant 2(i=1,2, \cdots, k),\left|x_{1}\right|+\left|x_{2}\right|+\cdots+$ $\left|x_{k}\right| \neq 0$, such that 2003 divides $x_{1} a_{1}+x_{2} a_{2}+\cdots$ $+x_{k} a_{k}$.
Three, first prove that the proposition holds when $k=7$. For this, consider the sum $$ S\left(y_{1}, y_{2}, \cdots, y_{7}\right)=y_{1} a_{1}+y_{2} a_{2}+\cdots+y_{7} a_{7} \text {, } $$ where $y_{i} \in\{-1,0,1\}$. There are $3^{7}=2187$ such sums, and since $2187>2003$, by the pigeonhole principle, there must be two different sums $S\left(y_{1}, y_{2}, \cdots, y_{7}\right)$ and $S\left(y_{1}^{\prime}, y_{2}^{\prime}, \cdots, y_{7}^{\prime}\right)$ that have the same remainder when divided by 2003. Therefore, 2003 divides $$ \begin{array}{l} S\left(y_{1}, y_{2}, \cdots, y_{7}\right)-S\left(y_{1}^{\prime}, y_{2}^{\prime}, \cdots, y_{7}^{\prime}\right) \\ =\left(y_{1}-y_{1}^{\prime}\right) a_{1}+\left(y_{2}-y_{2}^{\prime}\right) a_{2}+\cdots+\left(y_{7}-y_{7}^{\prime}\right) a_{7} . \end{array} $$ where $y_{i}-y_{i}^{\prime} \in\{-2,-1,0,1,2\}, i=1,2, \cdots, 7$ (since $\left.y_{i} 、 y_{i} \in\{-1,0,1\}, i=1,2, \cdots, 7\right)$, and at least one $y_{i}-y_{i}^{\prime} \neq 0$ (because the arrays $\left(y_{1}, y_{2}, \cdots, y_{7}\right) \neq\left(y_{1}^{\prime}, y_{2}^{\prime}, \cdots\right.$, $\left.y_{7}^{\prime}\right)$ ). At this point, taking $x_{i}=y_{i}-y_{i}^{\prime}, i=1,2, \cdots, 7$, satisfies the requirement. Thus, the proposition holds when $k=7$. Next, prove that the proposition does not hold when $k=6$. For this, we provide a counterexample. Take $a_{1}=3^{1}, a_{2}=3^{2}, a_{3}=3^{3}, a_{4}=3^{4}, a_{5}=3^{5}, a_{6}=$ $3^{6}$, then for any 6 integers $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6},\left|x_{i}\right| \leqslant$ $2,\left|x_{1}\right|+\left|x_{2}\right|+\cdots+\left|x_{6}\right| \neq 0$, the sum $$ S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)=a_{1} x_{1}+a_{2} x_{2}+\cdots+a_{6} x_{6} $$ is always a multiple of 3. $$ \begin{array}{l} \text { Then } S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right) \text { | } \\ \leqslant 2\left(3^{1}+3^{2}+\cdots+3^{6}\right) \\ =3\left(3^{6}-1\right)=3\left(3^{3}-1\right)\left(3^{3}+1\right) \\ =3 \times 26 \times 28=3 \times 728 . \end{array} $$ Assume without loss of generality that the largest index $k_{1}$ of the non-zero elements $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}$ is $x_{k_{1}}$, i.e., $x_{k_{1}} \neq 0$, and $x_{k_{1}+1}=x_{k_{1}+2}=\cdots=x_{6}=$ 0, then $$ \begin{array}{l} S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)=a_{1} x_{1}+a_{2} x_{2}+\cdots+a_{k_{1}} x_{k_{1}} \\ =3^{1} x_{1}+3^{2} x_{2}+\cdots+3^{k_{1}} x_{k_{1}} . \end{array} $$ Additionally, assume without loss of generality that $x_{k_{1}}>0$ (if $x_{k_{1}}<0$, the argument is similar). If $k_{1} \geqslant 2$, then If $k_{1}=1$, then $$ x_{1} \neq 0, S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)=a_{1} x_{1}>0 \text {. } $$ In summary, $$ \begin{array}{l} 3 \mid S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right) \text {, and } S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right) \neq 0 \text {, } \\ \left|S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)\right| \leqslant 3 \times 728 . \end{array} $$ Clearly, 2003 and 3 are coprime. If 2003 divides $S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)$, then $S\left(x_{1}\right.$, $\left.x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)=3 t$, where $t$ is an integer, and $1 \leqslant|t| \leqslant 728$. Thus, $2003 \mid t$, which contradicts $1 \leqslant|t| \leqslant 728$. Therefore, when taking $a_{i}=3^{i}$, $i=1,2, \cdots, 6$, it is impossible to have $x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6} \in \mathbf{Z},\left|x_{i}\right|$ $\leqslant 2, i=1,2, \cdots, 6,\left|x_{1}\right|+\left|x_{2}\right|+\cdots+\left|x_{6}\right| \neq 0$, such that $2003$ divides $S\left(x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{6}\right)=a_{1} x_{1}+a_{2} x_{2}+\cdots+a_{6} x_{6}$. This counterexample shows that the proposition does not hold when $k=6$. From the above two steps, the smallest positive integer $k$ is 7.

1. Find the smallest positive integer $n$, such that $$ x_{1}^{3}+x_{2}^{3}+\cdots+x_{n}^{3}=2002^{2002} $$ has integer solutions. (Uzbekistan provided)
Solution: Since $2002 \equiv 4(\bmod 9), 4^{3} \equiv 1(\bmod 9), 2002$ $=667 \times 3+1$, therefore, $$ 2002^{2002} \equiv 4^{2002} \equiv 4(\bmod 9) \text {. } $$ Also, $x^{3} \equiv 0, \pm 1(\bmod 9)$, where $x$ is an integer, thus, $$ x_{1}^{3}, x_{1}^{3}+x_{2}^{3}, x_{1}^{3}+x_{2}^{3}+x_{3}^{3} \equiv 4(\bmod 9) \text {. } $$ Since $2002=10^{3}+10^{3}+1^{3}+1^{3}$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} 2002^{2002}=2002 \times\left(2002^{667}\right)^{3} \\ =\left(10 \times 2002^{667}\right)^{3}+\left(10 \times 2002^{667}\right)^{3}+ \\ \left(2002^{667}\right)^{3}+\left(2002^{667}\right)^{3} . \end{array} $$ Therefore, $n=4$.

8. For all non-negative integers $x, y$, find all functions $f: \mathbf{N} \rightarrow \mathbf{N}$, satisfying $f(3 x+2 y)=f(x) f(y)$, where $\mathbf{N}$ is the set of non-negative integers. (53rd Romanian Mathematical Olympiad (Final))
Solution: Let $x=y=0$, we get $f(0)=f(0)^{2}$. Therefore, $f(0)=0$ or $f(0)=1$. If $f(0)=0$, for $x=0$ or $y=0$, we get $f(2 y)=$ $f(3 x)=0$ for all $x, y \in \mathrm{N}$. Let $f(1)=a$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} f(5)=f(3 \times 1+2 \times 1)=f(1) f(1)=a^{2}, \\ f(25)=f(3 \times 5+2 \times 5)=f(5) f(5)=a^{4} . \end{array} $$ Since $f(25)=f(2 \times 2+3 \times 7)=f(2) f(7)=0$, we have $a=0$. For any odd number $k>4$, there exists $y \in \mathbb{N}$, such that $k=3+2 y$. Then $f(k)=0$, hence for all $x \in \mathbb{N}, f(x)=0$ satisfies the condition. If $f(0)=1$, let $x=0$ or $y=0$, we get $f(2 y)=f(y)$ or $f(3 x)=f(x)$. Let $f(1)=a$, then $$ \begin{array}{l} f(2)=a, \\ f(5)=f(3 \times 1+2 \times 1)=f(1) f(1)=a^{2}, \\ f(25)=f(3 \times 5+2 \times 5)=f(5) f(5)=a^{4} . \end{array} $$ Since $f(25)=f(3 \times 3+2 \times 8)=f(3) f(8)=$ $f(1) f(4)=f(1) f(2)=a^{2}$, we have $a=0$ or $a=1$. Similarly, we have $$ f(x)=\left\{\begin{array}{ll} 1, & x=0, \\ 0, & x>0 \end{array} \text { or } f(x)=1, x \in \mathbb{N} .\right. $$ In summary, there are 3 functions that satisfy the conditions.

3. Consider a square on the complex plane, whose 4 vertices correspond to the 4 roots of a certain monic quartic equation with integer coefficients $x^{4}+p x^{3}+q x^{2}+r x+s=0$. Find the minimum value of the area of such a square.
3. According to the problem, the 4 roots of the equation can only be in two scenarios: 2 real roots and 1 pair of conjugate complex roots; 2 pairs of conjugate complex roots. (1) If the 4 roots of the equation are 2 real roots and 1 pair of conjugate complex roots, then we can set these 4 roots as $a \pm b, a \pm b \mathrm{i}$. Thus, the original equation is $$ (x-a)^{4}=b^{4}, $$ which is $x^{4}-4 a x^{3}+6 a^{2} x^{2}-4 a^{3} x+a^{4}-b^{4}=0$. From $-4 a \in \mathbf{Z}$ and $4 a^{3} \in \mathbf{Z}$, we know $a \in \mathbf{Z}$. From $a^{4}-b^{4} \in \mathbf{Z}$, we know $b^{4} \in \mathbf{Z}$, so $b^{4} \geqslant 1, b^{2} \geqslant 1$. In this case, the area of the square is $2 b^{2} \geqslant 2$, with equality holding when $a \in \mathbf{Z}, b= \pm 1$. (2) If the 4 roots of the equation are 2 pairs of conjugate complex roots, then we can set these 4 roots as $a \pm b \mathrm{i}, a+2 b \pm b \mathrm{i}$. These 4 roots are the roots of the equation $(x-(a+b))^{4}=-4 b^{4}$. Similarly, we know $4 b^{4} \in \mathbf{Z}$, thus $4 b^{4} \geqslant 1, b^{2} \geqslant \frac{1}{2}$. Therefore, the area of the square is $4 b^{2} \geqslant 2$. Equality holds when $b= \pm \frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}, a+b \in \mathbf{Z}$. In summary, the area of such a square is greater than or equal to 2. The equation $x^{4}=1$ has 4 roots which are the 4 vertices of a square on the complex plane with an area of 2, so the minimum area of such a square is 2.

Example 1 Find a point $P$ on the plane of equilateral $\triangle A B C$ such that $\triangle P A B$, $\triangle P B C$, and $\triangle P C A$ are all isosceles triangles. How many points $P$ with this property are there?
Solution: Let any side of the known triangle be denoted as $a$. When $a$ is the base of the sought isosceles triangle, point $P$ lies on the perpendicular bisector of $a$; when $a$ is one of the legs of the sought isosceles triangle, point $P$ lies on the circumference of the circle with the vertex of $\triangle ABC$ as the center and $a$ as the radius. Thus, the 3 perpendicular bisectors and 3 circles yield a total of 10 intersection points (as shown in Figure 1). Therefore, there are 10 points $P$ that satisfy the conditions. These can be categorized into 4 types: the first type is the intersection of the 3 perpendicular bisectors $\left(P_{1}\right)$. The 2nd, 3rd, and 4th types are the intersections of the circles and the perpendicular bisectors, each with 3 points $\left(P_{2}, P_{3}\right.$, $\left.P_{4}\right),\left(P_{5}, P_{6}, P_{7}\right),\left(P_{8}, P_{9}, P_{10}\right)$.

2. Given an $n \times n$ ($n$ is an odd number) chessboard where each unit square is colored in a checkerboard pattern, and the 4 corner unit squares are colored black. A figure formed by 3 connected unit squares in an L-shape is called a "domino". For what value of $n$ can all the black squares be covered by non-overlapping "dominoes"? If it can be covered, what is the minimum number of "dominoes" needed?
Solution: Let $n=2m+1$, consider the odd rows, then each row has $m+1$ black cells, with a total of $(m+1)^2$ black cells. Any two black cells cannot be covered by a single "domino", therefore, at least $(m+1)^2$ "dominoes" are needed to cover all the black cells on the chessboard. Since when $n=1,3,5$, we have $3(m+1)^2 > n^2$, thus, $n \geqslant 7$. Below, we use mathematical induction to prove: when $n \geqslant 7$, $(m+1)^2$ "dominoes" can cover all the black cells on the chessboard. When $n=7$, since two "dominoes" can form a $2 \times 3$ rectangle, and two $2 \times 3$ rectangles can form a $4 \times 3$ rectangle, then 4 such $4 \times 3$ rectangles can be placed on a $7 \times 7$ chessboard, such that all cells except the middle black cell are covered (as shown in Figure 1). Adjust the "domino" adjacent to the middle black cell, so that this "domino" covers the middle black cell and also covers the only black cell that the original "domino" covered. Thus, 16 "dominoes" cover all cells except one white cell on the chessboard (as shown in Figure 1). Assume that when $n=2m-1$, on a $(2m-1) \times (2m-1)$ chessboard, $m^2$ "dominoes" can cover all the black cells. When $n=2m+1$, divide the $(2m+1) \times (2m+1)$ chessboard into three parts: $(2m-1) \times (2m-1)$, $(2m-1) \times 2$, and $(2m+1) \times 2$. Since the $(2m-1) \times 2$ rectangle can be divided into $m-2$ $2 \times 2$ squares and one $2 \times 3$ rectangle, the black cells in the $(2m-1) \times 2$ rectangle can be covered by $(m-2) + 2$ "dominoes". Similarly, the $(2m+1) \times 2$ rectangle can be covered by $(m-1) + 2$ "dominoes" (as shown in Figure 2). Therefore, the $(2m+1) \times (2m+1)$ chessboard can be covered by $m^2 + m + (m+1) = (m+1)^2$ "dominoes".

4. Let $T$ be a set of ordered triples $(x, y, z)$, where $x, y, z$ are integers, and $0 \leqslant x, y, z \leqslant 9$. Two players, A and B, play the following game: A selects a triple $(x, y, z)$ from $T$, and B has to guess A's chosen triple using several "moves". One "move" consists of: B giving A a triple $(a, b, c)$ from $T$, and A responding with the number $|x+y-a-b|+|y+z-b-c|+|z+x-c-a|$. Find the minimum number of "moves" required for B to determine A's chosen triple. (Bulgaria provided)
Solution: Two "movements" are not enough. Because each answer is an even number between 0 and 54, i.e., there are 28 possible values for each answer. The maximum number of possible results from two "movements" is $28^{2}$, which is less than the 1000 possible values for $(x, y, z)$. Below, we prove that 3 "movements" are sufficient to determine the triplet chosen by A. In the first "movement," B gives A the triplet $(0,0,0)$, and A's response is $2(x+y+z)$, so B can determine the value of $s=x+y+z$. Clearly, $0 \leqslant s \leqslant 27$. Without loss of generality, assume $s \leqslant 13$. In fact, if $s \geqslant 14$, then the $(a, b, c)$ given by B to A in the following process can be changed to $(9-a, 9-b, 9-c)$, and the triplet $(x, y, z)$ can still be determined. If $s \leqslant 9$, in the second "movement," B gives A $(9,0,0)$, and A's response is $(9-x-y)+y+z+(9-x-z)=18-2x$, thus the value of $x$ can be determined. Similarly, in the third "movement," B gives A $(0,9,0)$, and the value of $y$ can be determined. Therefore, $z=s-x-y$ can be determined. If $9 < s \leqslant 13$, in the second "movement," B gives A $(0, s, 0)$, and A's response is $|s-x-y|+|s-y-z|+|s-x-z|=3s-2(x+y+z)=3s-2s=s$, thus the value of $s$ can be determined. In the third "movement," B gives A $(9, s-9, 0)$, and A's response is $$ \begin{array}{l} |s-9-x-y|+|s-9-y-z|+|9-x-z| \\ =(9-x)+(s-9-y)+(9-x-z) \\ =18-2(x+z) . \end{array} $$ Thus, the value of $x+z$ can be determined. Similarly, the values of $x$ and $z$ can be determined. Therefore, the value of $y$ can be determined. In summary, the minimum number of "movements" required is 3.

Given an infinite sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ where all terms are positive integers, and the sum of any consecutive terms is not equal to 100. Find the minimum value of $\max \left\{a_{n}, n \in \mathbf{N}\right\}$.
Solution: The minimum value of $\max \left\{a_{n}, n \in \mathbf{N}\right\}$ is 3. First, we prove: If all terms of the sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ are 1 or 2, then there must exist a continuous subsequence whose sum equals 100. Consider the first 100 terms of the sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$, and let $$ S_{0}=0, S_{1}=a_{1}, \cdots, S_{k}=\sum_{i=1}^{k} a_{i}, k \leqslant 100 . $$ By the pigeonhole principle, there exist $0 \leqslant m<n \leqslant 100$ such that $S_{n}-S_{m}=100 t$, i.e., $$ \sum_{i=m+1}^{n} a_{i}=100 t . $$ Since $a_{i}=1$ or 2, then $t=1$ or 2. If $t=1$, the conclusion holds. If $t=2$, by $a_{i} \leqslant 2, n \leqslant 100$, we get $$ 200 \geqslant \sum_{i=1}^{100} a_{i} \geqslant \sum_{i=m+1}^{n} a_{i}=200 . $$ Then $a_{i}=2, i=1,2, \cdots, 100$. Hence $\sum_{i=1}^{50} a_{i}=100$. In this case, the conclusion still holds. Therefore, $\max \left\{a_{n}, n \in \mathbf{N}\right\} \geqslant 3$. Next, we construct an infinite periodic sequence such that the largest term is 3. The first 100 terms of the sequence $\left\{a_{n}\right\}$ are $$ 1,2, \cdots, 2,3,2, \cdots, 2, \cdots, $$ where $a_{100 k+1}=1, a_{100 k+51}=3, k=0,1, \cdots$, and the other terms $a_{i}=2$. It is easy to verify that the sum of any continuous subsequence of this sequence does not equal 100. In summary, the minimum value of $\max \left\{a_{n}, n \in \mathbf{N}\right\}$ is 3.
