2. On the first day, Masha collected $25 \%$ fewer berries than Vanya, and on the second day, $20 \%$ more than Vanya. Over the two days, Masha collected $10 \%$ more berries than Vanya. What is the smallest number of berries they could have collected together?
# Solution Masha collected $3 / 4$ on the first day and $-6 / 5$ of the number of berries collected by Vanya over these days. Let Vanya collect $4 x$ berries on the first day and $5 y$ on the second day, then Masha collected $3 x$ and $6 y$ berries respectively. According to the condition, $3 x + 6 y = 11 / 10 (4 x + ...

Answer: 75. Solution. Let $m$ be the greatest divisor of the number $N$, less than $N$. Then $n=mp$, where $p$ is the smallest prime divisor of the number $N$. We have $N+m=10^{k}$, that is, $m(p+1)=10^{k}$. The number on the right side is not divisible by 3, so $p>2$. From this, it follows that $N$ is an odd number, ...

Solution. By the condition $x y+y z+z x=(x+1)(y-2)+(y-2)(z-2)+(z-2)(x+1)$, from which $4 x+y+z=0$, or $x=-\frac{y+z}{4}$. Then $(-1) \cdot A=-(x y+y z+z x)=-y z-x(y+z)=$ $-y z+\frac{y+z}{4}(y+z)=\frac{(y+z)^{2}-4 y z}{4}=\frac{(y-z)^{2}}{4}=\left(\frac{y-z}{2}\right)^{2}$.

2. Seventeen aborigines, representing several tribes, stood in a circle. They tell the truth to their fellow tribesmen and lie to representatives of other tribes. Could it happen that each of them said to the neighbor on the right: "My neighbor on the left is from a different tribe"?
Answer: it could not. Solution. Each aborigine has exactly one of his neighbors as his tribesman. If both neighbors are tribesmen, he must tell the truth, but he lies. If both neighbors are from other tribes, he must lie, but he tells the truth. Therefore, all aborigines must be divided into pairs of neighboring tribe...

3. Given three numbers. If each of them is increased by 1, then their product also increases by 1. If all the original numbers are increased by 2, then their product also increases by 2. Find these numbers.
Answer: $-1,-1,-1$. ## Solution. Let the required numbers be $\mathrm{a}, \mathrm{b}, \mathrm{c}$. Then $(\mathrm{a}+1)(\mathrm{b}+1)(\mathrm{c}+1)=\mathrm{abc}+1$ (1) and $(\mathrm{a}+2)(\mathrm{b}+2)(\mathrm{c}+2)=\mathrm{abc}+2(2)$.

Answer: 5. Solution. Evaluation. If the number of teams that played well is not less than 6, then consider six of them. They could have lost no more than $6 \times 2=12$ matches. But the games between them amounted to $6 \times 5 / 2=15$. Thus, they lost no fewer than 15 matches in total. Contradiction. Example. Pla...

From the non-negativity of the expressions under the square roots, we have: $2 x-1 \geq 0$ (i.e., $x \geq \frac{1}{2}$) and $x-\sqrt{2 x-1} \geq 0$, from which it immediately follows that $...

Answer: No. Solution. The total number of pebbles, which is $70+30+21+45=166$, will not change as a result of the exchange. However, it is not divisible by 4. Comment.

Answer. It could not. Solution. Suppose the opposite: the products ab, bc, and ca end with two-digit numbers $n, n+1$, and $n+2$, respectively.
