It is well known that a number is divisible by 9 if and only if the sum of the digits is divisible by 9. For example,

Six students visited the library on the day a rare book was stolen. Each student entered once, stayed for some time, and left. For any two of them that were in the library at the same time, at least one of them saw the other. The dean questioned the students and learned the following:


Student         Reported seeing


Alice             Bob, Eve
Bob             Alice, Frank
Charlie             Doris, Frank
Doris             Alice, Frank
Eve             Bob, Charlie
Frank             Charlie, Eve


The dean believes that each student reported all the others that he or she saw, with the exception of the thief who, in an attempt to frame another student, reported that other student as being seen when that other student was not in fact in the library. Assume the dean's belief is correct. Can the dean determine the thief?

For a positive integer,

, we define N! (read N factorial) to
be the product of all the integers from 1 to N. Thus:

It is clear that N! will end in a zero if N is larger or equal to
5. For big values of N, N! will end in many, many zeros.
How many zeros will
end in?

when I take my dog for a walk," said a mathematical friend, "he frequently supplies me with some interesting puzzle to solve. One day, for example, he waited, as I left the door, to see which way I should go, and when I started he raced along to the end of the road, immediately returning to me; again racing to the end of the road and again returning. He did this four times in all, at a uniform speed, and then ran at my side the remaining distance, which according to my paces measured 27 yards. I afterwards measured the distance from my door to the end of the road and found it to be 625 feet. Now, if I walk 4 miles per hour, what is the speed of my dog when racing to and fro?"
