C2

In a certain city there are nn straight streets, such that every two streets intersect, and no three streets pass through the same intersection. The City Council wants to organize the city by designating the main and the side street on every intersection.

C4

We have a group of nn kids. For each pair of kids, at least one has sent a message to the other one. For each kid AA, among the kids to whom AA has sent a message, exactly 25%25 \% have sent a message to AA. How many possible two-digit values of nn are there?

C5

An economist and a statistician play a game on a calculator which does only one operation. The calculator displays only positive integers and it is used in the following way: Denote by nn an integer that is shown on the calculator. A person types an integer, mm, chosen from the set {1,2,…,99}\{1,2, \ldots, 99\} of the first 99 positive integers, and if m%m \% of the number nn is again a positive integer, then the calculator displays m%m \% of nn. Otherwise, the calculator shows an error message and this operation is not allowed. The game consists of doing alternatively these operations and the player that cannot do the operation looses. How many numbers from {1,2,…,2019}\{1,2, \ldots, 2019\} guarantee the winning strategy for the statistician, who plays second?

For example, if the calculator displays 1200, the economist can type 50 , giving the number 600 on the calculator, then the statistician can type 25 giving the number 150 . Now, for instance, the economist cannot type 75 as 75%75 \% of 150 is not a positive integer, but can choose 40 and the game continues until one of them cannot type an allowed number.
