Ivan and 5 sportsmen took part in a final 100-meter dash (all sportsmen start running simultaneously). It is known that Ivan won the dash. At the moment when 9 seconds passed from the start, all sportsmen together ran 290 meters (and nobody finished the race yet). At the moment Ivan finished the dash, the other 5 sportsmen had to run a total of 100 meters. How many meters did Ivan run during 9 seconds? (During the dash, all runners move at a constant speed.)
Let f(x)=x^2+bx+c. It has turned out that equation f(x) = 2x - 7 has exactly one solution, and equation f(x)=21-6x also has exactly one solution. Find the largest value of parameter p such that equation f(x) has exactly one solution.
1000 chips are situated in a row. Each of the chips is either black or white. It is known that whatever two white chips are considered, the number of chips between them is not equal to 12 (possibly it is 0). What is the largest possible number of white chips in the row?
