There are $24$ apples in $4$ boxes. An optimistic worm is convinced that he can eat no more than half of the apples such that there will be $3$ boxes with equal number of apples. Is it possible that he is wrong?

For which positive integers $n \ge 2$ it is possible to represent the number $n^2$ as a sum of several distinct positive integers not exceeding $2n$?
Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram ($AB < BC$). The bisector of the angle $BAD$ intersects the side $BC$ at the point K; and the bisector of the angle $ADC$ intersects the diagonal $AC$ at the point $F$. Suppose that $KD \perp BC$. Prove that $KF \perp BD$.
Elza draws $2013$ cities on the map and connects some of them with $N$ roads. Then Elza and Susy erase cities in turns until just two cities left (first city is to be erased by Elza). If these cities are connected with a road then Elza wins, otherwise Susy wins. Find the smallest $N$ for which Elza has a winning strategy.
Do there exist positive integers $a \ne b$ such that $ a+b$ is a perfect square and $a^3 +b^3$ is a fourth power of an integer?

For every positive $a, b, c, d$ such that $a + c\le ac$ and $b + d \le bd$ prove that $ab + cd \ge 8$.
