%V0 Let $n \geq 2, n \in \mathbb{N}$ and $A_0 = (a_{01},a_{02}, \ldots, a_{0n})$ be any $n-$tuple of natural numbers, such that $0 \leq a_{0i} \leq i-1,$ for $i = 1, \ldots, n.$ $n-$tuples $A_1= (a_{11},a_{12}, \ldots, a_{1n}), A_2 = (a_{21},a_{22}, \ldots, a_{2n}), \ldots$ are defined by: $a_{i+1,j} = Card \{a_{i,l}| 1 \leq l \leq j-1, a_{i,l} \geq a_{i,j}\},$ for $i \in \mathbb{N}$ and $j = 1, \ldots, n.$ Prove that there exists $k \in \mathbb{N},$ such that $A_{k+2} = A_{k}.$

%V0 Show that for any finite set $S$ of distinct positive integers, we can find a set $T$ ⊇ $S$ such that every member of $T$ divides the sum of all the members of $T$. Original Statement: A finite set of (distinct) positive integers is called a DS-set if each of the integers divides the sum of them all. Prove that every finite set of positive integers is a subset of some DS-set.

%V0 A rectangular array of numbers is given. In each row and each column, the sum of all numbers is an integer. Prove that each nonintegral number $x$ in the array can be changed into either $\lceil x\rceil$ or $\lfloor x\rfloor$ so that the row-sums and column-sums remain unchanged. (Note that $\lceil x\rceil$ is the least integer greater than or equal to $x$, while $\lfloor x\rfloor$ is the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$.)

%V0 Let $n$ be an integer greater than 2. A positive integer is said to be attainable if it is 1 or can be obtained from 1 by a sequence of operations with the following properties: 1.) The first operation is either addition or multiplication. 2.) Thereafter, additions and multiplications are used alternately. 3.) In each addition, one can choose independently whether to add 2 or $n$ 4.) In each multiplication, one can choose independently whether to multiply by 2 or by $n$. A positive integer which cannot be so obtained is said to be unattainable. a.) Prove that if $n\geq 9$, there are infinitely many unattainable positive integers. b.) Prove that if $n=3$, all positive integers except 7 are attainable.

%V0 Cards numbered 1 to 9 are arranged at random in a row. In a move, one may choose any block of consecutive cards whose numbers are in ascending or descending order, and switch the block around. For example, 9 1 $\underline{6\ 5\ 3}$ $2\ 7\ 4\ 8$ may be changed to $9 1$ $\underline{3\ 5\ 6}$ $2\ 7\ 4\ 8$. Prove that in at most 12 moves, one can arrange the 9 cards so that their numbers are in ascending or descending order.

%V0 Ten points are marked in the plane so that no three of them lie on a line. Each pair of points is connected with a segment. Each of these segments is painted with one of $k$ colors, in such a way that for any $k$ of the ten points, there are $k$ segments each joining two of them and no two being painted with the same color. Determine all integers $k$, $1\leq k\leq 10$, for which this is possible.
