6. The set contained weights of 43, 70, and 57 grams, with an equal number of each type. Maly lost several weights (less than half), weighed the remaining on the scales, and got 20172 grams. How many and which weights were lost?
Solution (1). If the weights had not been lost, the total weight would end in 0. Therefore, the weight of the lost weights ends in 8. This can only be the case if 4 weights of 57 g are lost (losing 70 g or the pair $43+57$ does not affect the last digit of the total weight). Solution (2). Let's divide the initial set ...

# Task 5. (12 points) On a plane, there are four different circles. We will call an intersection point a point where at least two circles intersect. Find the maximum possible number of intersection points of four circles. #
# Solution Any two circles can intersect at no more than two points. From four circles, we can choose 6 different pairs of circles. Therefore, the number of intersection points cannot exceed 12. The figure below shows a case where there are exactly 12 intersection points. ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/cropped/2024_05_...

# Task 11.3. (12 points) How many distinct roots does the equation $f(f(f(x)))=1$ have, if $f(x)=x-\frac{2}{x}$.
# Solution. Let $f(x)=k=x-\frac{2}{x}, f(f(x))=f(k)=k-\frac{2}{k}, f(f(f(x)))=f(f(k))=f(k)-\frac{2}{f(k)}$. The equation $f(f(f(x)))=f(k)-\frac{2}{f(k)}=1 \Leftrightarrow f^{2}(k)-f(k)-2=0$ has two solutions $f_{1}(k)=-1$ and $f_{2}(k)=2$.

Problem 1. Yura has a calculator that allows multiplying a number by 3, adding 3 to a number, or (if the number is divisible by 3) dividing the number by 3. How can one use this calculator to get from the number 1 to the number 11? $\quad[3$ points] (T. I. Golenishcheva-Kutuzova)
Answer. For example, $((1 \cdot 3 \cdot 3 \cdot 3)+3+3): 3=11$ or $(1 \cdot 3+3): 3+$ $3+3+3=11$. Comment. Note that on Yura's calculator, any number can be increased by $1:(x \cdot 3+3): 3=x+1$. Therefore, in principle, any natural number can be obtained from one on it.

Problem 3. There were several whole cheese heads on the warehouse. At night, rats came and ate 10 heads, and everyone ate equally. Several rats got stomachaches from overeating.

Answer: 11 cheese heads Solution: Let the total number of rats be $k$ ( $k>7$ ), then each rat ate $10 / k$ cheese heads on the first night. On the second night, each rat ate half as much, that is, $5 / k$ cheese heads. Thus, the 7 rats ate a total of $35 / k$ cheese heads. This is an integer. The only divisor of the ...

Answer. Dima lives on the seventh floor. First solution. Consider the part of the journey that Dima travels down by elevator and up on foot.

In autumn, maples were planted, and maples became $60 \%$ again. By what factor did the number of trees in the park increase over the year? [6 points] (...

By summer, the number of maples did not change, but they began to constitute $1 / 5$ of all the trees. Therefore, the total number of trees in the park increased threefold. At the same t...
