A researcher receives a container for analysis holding approximately 150 samples of oil. Each sample has specific characteristics regarding sulfur content - either low-sulfur or high-sulfur - and density - either light or heavy. The relative frequency (statistical probability) that a randomly chosen sample is heavy oil is $\frac{2}{11}$. The relative frequency that a randomly chosen sample is light oil with low sulfur content is $\frac{7}{13}$. How many samples of high-sulfur oil are there in the container if there are no low-sulfur samples among the heavy oil samples?

In a company, employees have a combined monthly salary of $10,000.

Schoolboy Alexey told his parents that he is already an adult and can manage his finances independently. His mother suggested using a duplicate bank card from her account. For participation in a charitable Christmas program, Alexey wants to buy 40 "Joy" chocolate bars and donate them to an orphanage. However, the bank, where Alexey's parents are clients, has implemented a new system to protect against unauthorized card payments. The protection system analyzes the root mean square (RMS) value of expenses for the last 3 purchases (S) using the formula \(S=\sqrt{\frac{x_{1}^{2}+x_{2}^{2}+x_{3}^{2}}{3}}\), where \(x_{1}, x_{2}\), and \(x_{3}\) are the costs of the previous purchases, and compares the value of \(S\) with the cost of the current purchase. If the cost of the current payment exceeds the value \(S\) by 3 times, the bank blocks the payment and requires additional verification (e.g., a call from mom to the call center). In the last month, payments made on the card were only for cellphone bills in the amount of 300 rubles each. Into how many minimum number of receipts should Alexey split the purchase so that he can buy all 40 "Joy" chocolate bars at a cost of 50 rubles each?

I am thinking of a four-digit number, where each digit is different. When I omit the last two digits of this number, I get a prime number. Similarly, I get a prime number if I omit the second and fourth digits, and also if I omit the middle two digits. However, the number I am thinking of is not a prime number itself - it can be divided by three without a remainder. There are several numbers with these properties, but mine is the largest of them.

There are three piles of stones. Each time A moves one stone from one pile to another, A earns a reward from B. The reward is equal to the difference in the number of stones between the pile to which A moves the stone and the pile from which A takes the stone. If this difference is negative, A must pay B that amount instead (if A doesn’t have enough money, A can owe it temporarily). At a certain moment, all the stones are in the piles where they initially started. Determine the maximum possible amount of money A can have by that moment.

What is the minimum force required to press a cube with a volume of $10 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$, floating in water, so that it is completely submerged? The density of the cube's material is $700 \mathrm{~kg/m}^{3}$, and the density of water is $1000 \mathrm{~kg/m}^{3}$. Give the answer in SI units. Take the acceleration due to gravity as $10 \mathrm{~m/s}^{2}$.

Given that \( f(x) \) is an odd function on \( \mathbf{R} \) and \( f(1) = 1 \), with the condition that for any \( x < 0 \), \( f\left(\frac{x}{x-1}\right) = x f(x) \). Find the value of \( f(1) f\left(\frac{1}{100}\right) + f\left(\frac{1}{2}\right) f\left(\frac{1}{99}\right) + f\left(\frac{1}{3}\right) f\left(\frac{1}{98}\right) + \cdots + f\left(\frac{1}{50}\right) f\left(\frac{1}{51}\right) \).

The dwarfs went to work, and Snow White is bored. She placed a pile of 36 stones on the table. Every minute, Snow White splits one of the existing piles into two and then adds a new stone to one of them. After a while, she has seven piles, each with an equal number of stones. How many stones are there in each pile?

In Vegetable Village it costs 75 pence to buy 2 potatoes, 3 carrots, and 2 leeks at the Outdoor Market, whereas it costs 88 pence to buy 2 potatoes, 3 carrots, and 2 leeks at the Indoor Market. To buy a potato, a carrot, and a leek costs 6 pence more at the Indoor Market than it does at the Outdoor Market. What is the difference, in pence, between the cost of buying a carrot at the Outdoor Market and the cost of buying a carrot at the Indoor Market?

A laboratory has flasks of two different sizes (volume $V$ and volume $V/3$) with a total of 100 flasks, with at least 2 flasks of each size. A technician randomly selects two flasks in sequence, filling the first one with a 70% salt solution and the second with a 40% salt solution. The contents of these two flasks are then mixed in one dish, and the percentage of salt in the mixture is determined. What is the minimum number of large flasks $N$ needed to ensure that the event "the percentage of salt in the dish is between 50% and 60% inclusive" occurs less frequently than the event "when two fair coins are flipped, one shows heads and the other shows tails (in any order)"?

Given a prime number \( p \) and a positive integer \( n \) (\( p \geq n \geq 3 \)), the set \( A \) consists of different sequences of length \( n \) formed from the elements of the set \(\{1, 2, \cdots, p\}\) (such that not all elements in a sequence are the same). If, for any two sequences \((x_{1}, x_{2}, \cdots, x_{n})\) and \((y_{1}, y_{2}, \cdots, y_{n})\) in the set \( A \), there exist three different positive integers \( k, l, m \) such that \( x_{k} \neq y_{k}, x_{l} \neq y_{l}, x_{m} \neq y_{m} \), find the maximum number of elements in the set \( A \).

Let $s$ be the set of all rational numbers $r$ that satisfy the following conditions: $0<r<1$, and $r$ can be represented as a repeating decimal of the form $0.abcabcabc\cdots = 0.\dot{a}b\dot{c}$, where the digits $a, b, c$ do not necessarily have to be distinct. How many different numerators are there when the elements of $s$ are written as reduced fractions?
