Let $n\ge 3$ be an integer and let $A_{1}, A_{2},\dots, A_{n}$ be $n$ distinct subsets of $S=\{1, 2,\dots, n\}$. Show that there exists $x\in S$ such that the n subsets $A_{i}-\{x\}, i=1,2,\dots n$ are also disjoint.

Suppose that every positve integer has been given one of the colors red, blue,arbitrarily. Prove that there exists an infinite sequence of positive integers $ a_{1} < a_{2} < a_{3} < \cdots < a_{n} < \cdots,$ such that inifinite sequence of positive integers $ a_{1},\frac {a_{1} + a_{2}}{2},a_{2},\frac {a_{2} + a_{3}}{2},a_{3},\frac {a_{3} + a_{4}}{2},\cdots$ has the same color.

An animal with $n$ cells is a connected figure consisting of $n$ equal-sized cells[1].

A dinosaur is an animal with at least $2007$ cells. It is said to be primitive it its cells cannot be partitioned into two or more dinosaurs. Find with proof the maximum number of cells in a primitive dinosaur.

(1) Animals are also called polyominoes. They can be defined inductively. Two cells are adjacent if they share a complete edge. A single cell is an animal, and given an animal with $n$ cells, one with $n+1$ cells is obtained by adjoining a new cell by making it adjacent to one or more existing cells.

Prove that if $n$ is a positive integer, then $\frac{1}{n}$ can be written as a finite sum of reciprocals of different triangular numbers.

[A triangular number is one of the form $\frac{k(k+1)}{2}$ for some positive integer $k$.]
