48. A More Interesting Case - Let's move on to a more interesting case, said the King. Alice perked up her ears. - This time, three accused individuals, A, B, and C, stood before the court, began the King. - The court knew that one of them was a knight, one a liar, and one a spy. But who was who, the court did not k...
48. A more interesting case. The problem would have been unsolvable if the conditions did not mention that the court identified the spy after C pointed to him, since we know that the court managed to determine which of the three was the spy, and this is a very important "clue"! Suppose that C accused A of being the sp...

The court knew that one of them was a knight, another a liar, and the third a spy. But who was who, the court did not know. The judge asked defendant $A$: - Are ...
49. An even more interesting case. We do not know what A and B answered, so we need to consider four possible cases: 1) A and B both said “yes”: 2) A said “no,” B said “yes”; 3) A said “yes,” B said “no”; 4) A and B both said “no.” All these four cases will appear in the next two problems, so we will carefully analyze...

53. Another division problem. A million multiplied by a quarter equals a quarter of a million, while a million divided by a quarter equals a number whose quarter is one million, that is, four million. Thus, the correct answer to the Black Queen's question is four million.

60. How much land is there? The problem usually gives an incorrect answer: 11 acres. If the farmer originally owned 11 acres of land, the tax collector would have cut off $1 \frac{1}{10}$ acres (which is $1 / 10$ of 11 acres), and the farmer would be left with $99 / 10$ acres instead of 10, as required by the problem. ...

How many acres of land did the farm...

75. The Sixth Round (Orange and Purple). The brothers contradict each other, so one of them is lying, and the other is telling the truth. Therefore, their cards (the same principle applies!) must be of different suits. Thus, the first brother is telling the truth (his statement is true).

21. Prove that if for a natural number $N$ $$ \begin{gathered} {\left[\frac{N}{1}\right]+\left[\frac{N}{2}\right]+\ldots+\left[\frac{N}{N}\right]=} \\ =2+\left[\frac{(N-1)}{1}\right]+\left[\frac{(N-1)}{2}\right]+\left[\frac{(N-1)}{3}\right]+\ldots+\left[\frac{(N-1)}{(N-1)}\right] \end{gathered} $$ then the number $N$...
64.21. By reducing $[N / 1]+[N / N]$ and $2+[(N-1) / 1]$, we obtain that the equalities $[N / k]=[(N-1) / k]$ must hold for all $k$ from 2 to $N-1$. But if $N$ is a composite number and is divisible by $p \geqslant 2$, then $[N / p]>[(N-1) / p]$ - a contradiction. Therefore, $N$ is a prime number.

28. Let $\alpha_{n}$ be the exponent to which the number 2 enters the factorization of the number $n$. Let $S_{n}=\alpha_{1}+\alpha_{2}+\ldots+\alpha_{n}$. Prove that in the sequence $S_{1}, S_{2}, S_{3}, \ldots, S_{2^{n}-1}$, the number of even and odd numbers differ by one.
64.28. Let $\alpha_{0}=0, S_{0}=0$. Then the set $\left(S_{0}, S_{1}, \ldots\right.$, $S_{2^{n}-1}$ gives the set $\left(S_{2^{n}}, \ldots, S_{2^{n+1}-1}\right)$ by adding $S_{2^{n}}$ (considering only the remainders when divided by two), since $\boldsymbol{\alpha}_{k}=\alpha_{k+2^{n}}$ (for $0<k<2^{n}$ ).

30. Let $S$ be a set of natural numbers less than a given prime number $P$ such that if the numbers $A$ and $B$ are in the set, then the remainders of $A B, A$, and $B$ when divided by $P$ are also in the set. Prove that if $S$ contains at least two numbers, then the sum of the numbers in $S$ is divisible by $P$. ## E...
64.30. Let's denote the sum of all numbers in the set by $N$. Then, if $a$ is any number from the set $S$, $a N$ and $N$ have the same remainder when divided by $P$ because multiplying by $a$ simply permutes the remainders of the numbers in the set $S$. Choose a number $a$, not equal to 1, and we get that since $(a-1) ...

64.31. Let the lengths of the bases of the triangles be $a$ and $b$. Consider for each of these triangles a parallelogram, three vertices of which coincide with the vertices of the triangle, and one of its sides coincides with the base of the triangle. Then the intersection of the triangles lies within the intersection...

32. There is a set of natural numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}$, among which there may be identical ones. Denote by $f_{k}$ the number of numbers in this set that are not less than $k$. Prove that $f_{1}+f_{2}+$ $+\ldots=a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{n}$.
64.32. Let's represent the numbers $a_{1}, a_{2}, \ldots, a_{n}$ as columns of a certain diagram, arranged in a monotonic order (see example in Fig. 29). Then $a_{1}+a_{2}+\ldots+a_{n}$ is the total number of cells in the diagram, and $f_{1}, f_{2}, \ldots$ represent the number of cells in the rows, and their sum, of c...

64.34. First, it is necessary to prove this fact for $k=1$. This is not difficult and can be solved by enumeration. Next, let's take an arbitrary $k$. Since there will be three points $A, B$, and $C$ belonging to one group (say, group 1), such that $B$ is the midpoint of segment $A C$, we can assume that these points c...
