16. There are two piles of 100 matches each. Two players play the following game: the first player discards one of the two piles and divides the other into two not necessarily equal piles. Then the second player performs the same operation, and so on. Can the first player win if the loser is the one who cannot split a ...
71.16. Yes, the first player can win, and to do this, he needs to divide the pile with an even number of matches into two piles, each containing an odd number of matches every time. This strategy obviously leads him to victory.

18. $A B C$ is a triangle, $B D$ is its bisector. The length of side $A B$ is 15, and side $B C$ is 10. Prove that the length of $B D$ does not exceed 12. ## 9th grade
71.18. Consider a point $E$ on side $B C$ such that $B E = E D$. Then the lines $A B$ and $D E$ are parallel, triangles $A B C$ and $D E C$ are similar, and thus $B E = E D = 6$. Therefore, by the triangle inequality, $B D < B E + E D = 12$.

71.19. Answer. There are a total of 202 solutions. The main series: $x_{0}=0, x_{k}= \pm 1 / 2, x_{j}=0$ for $j \neq k$ (200 solutions). Another solution: all $x_{i}$ are equal to zero, and the last solution is: $x_{0}=$ $=1, x_{i}=0$ for $i>0$.

21. The number $\overline{A B C}$ is prime. Prove that the number $B^{2}-4 A C$ cannot be a perfect square.
71.21. Suppose that $B^{2}-4 A C=n^{2}$. Then we have $4 A\left(A x^{2}+\right.$ $+B x+C)=(2 A x+B+n)(2 A x+B-n)$. From this, substituting $x=10$, we get that $20 A+B+n$ or $20 A+B-n$ is divisible by the prime number $\overline{A B C}$. But then, obviously, $20 A+B+n \geqslant 100 A+$ $+10 B+C$, which is impossible, si...

24. Can the plane be tiled with pairwise distinct triangles with rational side lengths? ## $10-$ th grade
71.24. Yes, it is possible. Consider the partition of the rectangle $12 \times 16$, as shown in Fig. $43, a$, and then cover the plane with similar rectangles - see Fig. $43, \sigma$, each of which we will partition similarly. Check that all the resulting triangles are different. a) ![](https://cdn.mathpix.com/croppe...

71.31. Let's rewrite the equation as: $x^{n}+a_{1} x^{n-1}=a_{2} x^{n-2}+$ $+\ldots+a_{n}$ and divide it by $x^{n-1}$. We get $x+a_{1}=a_{2} / x+$ $+\ldots+a_{n} / x^{n}$.

6. Is it possible to place the numbers from 1 to 12 on the edges of a cube so that the sums at all vertices (the numbers on the edges emanating from the given vertex are summed) are equal? ## 7th grade
72.6. No, it is not possible. Let's sum all such sums at the vertices, if the arrangement is possible. On the one hand, the result should be of the form $8 k$, and on the other hand, each number on an edge enters this sum twice and it should be equal to $12 \cdot 11$

7. Can two straight cuts passing through two vertices of a triangle divide it into four parts such that three of them are equal-area triangles?
72.7. No, it cannot. For the equality $S(A O B)=$ $=S(B O D)=S(A O E)$ (see Fig. 44) to hold, it is necessary that $A O=$ $=O D, B O=O E$. But this would mean that $O$ lies on two medians of triangle $A B C$, which is impossible.
