There are 10 cities in a state, and some pairs of cities are connected by roads. There are 40 roads altogether. A city is called a "hub" if it is directly connected to every other city. What is the largest possible number of hubs?

If there are $h$ hubs, then $\binom{h}{2}$ roads connect the hubs to each other, and each hub is connected to the other $10-h$ cities; we thus get $\binom{h}{2}+h(10-h)$ distinct roads. So, $40 \geq\binom{ h}{2}+h(10-h)=-h^{2} / 2+19 h / 2$, or $80 \geq h(19-h)$. The largest $h \leq 10$ satisfying this condition is $h=...

The $25$ integers from $-10$ to $14,$ inclusive, can be arranged to form a $5$-by-$5$ square in which the sum of the numbers in each row, the sum of the numbers in each column, and the sum of the numbers along each of the main diagonals are all the same. What is the value of this common sum?
10
To solve this problem, we need to find the common sum of the numbers in each row, column, and diagonal of a $5 \times 5$ square matrix using the integers from $-10$ to $14$ inclusive. 1. **Calculate the Total Sum of All Numbers:** The integers from $-10$ to $14$ form an arithmetic sequence with the first term $a = ...

Two identical smaller cubes are stacked next to a larger cube. Each of the two smaller cubes has a volume of 8. What is the volume of the larger cube?
64
Since $2 \times 2 \times 2=8$, a cube with edge length 2 has volume 8. Therefore, each of the cubes with volume 8 have a height of 2. This means that the larger cube has a height of $2+2=4$, which means that its volume is $4^{3}=4 \times 4 \times 4=64$.

For each positive integer $n > 1$, let $P(n)$ denote the greatest prime factor of $n$. For how many positive integers $n$ is it true that both $P(n) = \sqrt{n}$ and $P(n+48) = \sqrt{n+48}$?
1
1. **Understanding the conditions**: We are given two conditions: - $P(n) = \sqrt{n}$, which implies $n = p_1^2$ where $p_1$ is a prime number. - $P(n+48) = \sqrt{n+48}$, which implies $n+48 = p_2^2$ where $p_2$ is a different prime number. 2. **Setting up the equation**: - From $n = p_1^2$ and $n+48 = p_2^2$...

1. **Model the Remaining Water**: Let's denote the initial amount of water in the container as 1 (representing 100%). We will calculate the remaining fraction of water after each pouring. 2. **Calculate the Remaining Fraction After Each Pouring**: - After the first pouring, half of the water is poured out, so $\fra...
