Solution. Let $x$ be the original number of trucks. Then, each truck was supposed to carry $\frac{60}{x}$ tons of cargo, but they carried $\left(\frac{60}{x}-0.5\right)$ tons each.

In this case, from the first equation we get: $X=Y=A$. Verification shows that the values $X=A$ and $Y=A$ we found satisfy the given system of equations. Answer: $X=Y=A$.

Here, the letters play the role of boxes, and the students in the class play the role of objects being placed into these boxes. Since there are more objects than boxes, by the Pigeonhole Principle, there will be a b...

265. Is it true that from any five natural numbers, one can choose two numbers, the difference of whose squares is divisible by 7?
$\triangle$ The square of a natural number, when divided by 7, can only give the following four remainders: $0, 1, 2$, and 4 (check this!). But there are five numbers. Based on the statement of problem 262, among the five squares $$ a_{1}^{2}, a_{2}^{2}, a_{3}^{2}, a_{4}^{2}, a_{5}^{2} $$ there will be two whose diff...

270. In a box, there are 105 apples of four varieties. Prove that among them, there will be at least 27 apples of one variety.
$\triangle$ We will provide two proofs of the statement. 1) Assume the opposite: 27 apples of the same variety cannot be found. Then the number of apples of each variety will not exceed 26. Therefore, the total number of apples in the box will not be more than $26 \cdot 4 = 104$, while according to the problem, there ...

$\triangle$ Consider two cases. 1) Suppose that at least 10 different colors were used to paint the cubes. Then there will be 10 cubes of different colors. 2) Suppose that no more than 9 different colors were used to paint the cubes. Divide 82 by 9 with a remainder: $82=9 \cdot 9+1$. Here $n=9, k=9$.

281. Is it true that among any 7 natural numbers, there will definitely be three numbers whose sum is divisible by 3?
$\triangle$ A natural number when divided by 3 can give one of three remainders: 0, 1, or 2. Since $7=3 \cdot 2+1$, there exist three numbers that give the same remainder when divided by 3. Their sum is divisible by 3. Answer: correct.

$\triangle$ The sums of the numbers at the ends of the edges of a cube can take values from $1+2=3$ to $7+8=15$ - a total of 13 different values. Suppose among the sums there are such: $$ 1+2=3, \quad 1+3=4, \quad 1+4=5 $$ But then there cannot be a sum equal to 6, because the sum $1+5$ cannot be used - since the nu...

Each of these numbers is not divisible by $b$, since $a$ and $b$ are coprime, and there are no $k_1$ and $k_2$ such that...

$\triangle$ The second player wins by taking the same number of balls on each move as the player who starts, but from a different pile. For example, if the player who starts takes 5 balls from the first pile on their first move, the second player should take 5 balls from the second pile in response; if the first player...

$\triangle$ Let's compare the conditions of this problem with those of the previous one. There were two piles, not three, and as proven earlier, it was disadvantageous to start the game.

If A, for example, attaches a red ball to one of the vertices of the cube, then B's best response is to attach a red ball to one of the adjacent vertices, and so on (Fig. 36). Cons...
