answer：Okay, so I have this problem: I need to find all odd natural numbers between 500 and 1000. Each of these numbers should have the sum of the last digits of all its divisors equal to 33. Hmm, that sounds a bit tricky, but let me try to break it down.First, let me understand what exactly is being asked. For each number n in the range 501 to 999 (since it's odd and greater than 500 but less than 1000), I need to find all its divisors, take the last digit of each divisor, sum them up, and check if that sum is 33. If it is, then n is one of the numbers we're looking for.Alright, so step one is to figure out how to find the divisors of a number. Divisors of a number n are all the numbers that divide n without leaving a remainder. For example, divisors of 6 are 1, 2, 3, and 6. So, for each n, I need to list all such numbers.But since n can be as large as 999, listing all divisors for each number manually would be time-consuming. Maybe there's a smarter way to approach this. Perhaps I can find a pattern or a property that these numbers must satisfy.Let me think about the sum of the last digits of the divisors. The last digit of a number is its remainder when divided by 10. So, if I can find the last digit of each divisor, sum them, and set that equal to 33, that would be the condition.Wait, but the sum is 33. Since each last digit is between 0 and 9, the number of divisors must be such that their last digits add up to 33. Let me think about how many divisors a number can have. For numbers around 500-1000, the number of divisors can vary. For example, prime numbers have only two divisors, 1 and themselves, so the sum of their last digits would be 1 + (last digit of the prime). Since primes greater than 5 end with 1, 3, 7, or 9, the sum would be 1 + 1=2, 1+3=4, 1+7=8, or 1+9=10. None of these are 33, so primes can be ruled out.So, the numbers we're looking for must be composite numbers with enough divisors such that the sum of their last digits is 33. Let's think about how many divisors a number could have. The number of divisors function, often denoted as d(n), gives the number of positive divisors of n. For example, a number like 12 has divisors 1, 2, 3, 4, 6, 12, so d(12)=6.But how does this relate to the sum of the last digits? Well, each divisor contributes its last digit to the sum. So, if a number has k divisors, the sum of the last digits would be the sum of the last digits of each of these k numbers.Given that the sum is 33, which is a relatively large number, the number of divisors must be such that the average last digit is around 33 divided by the number of divisors. For example, if a number has 10 divisors, the average last digit would need to be 3.3, which is possible. If it has 11 divisors, the average is about 3, which is also possible.But let's think about the possible last digits of divisors. Since we're dealing with odd numbers, n is odd, so all its divisors must also be odd. Because if a number is odd, it can't have even divisors. So, all the divisors of n are odd, meaning their last digits can only be 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9.Therefore, the last digits of the divisors are restricted to 1, 3, 5, 7, 9. So, each term in the sum is one of these digits. Therefore, the sum of these digits is 33.So, we can model this as: we need a set of numbers (divisors) each ending with 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9, such that their last digits add up to 33.Moreover, since n is odd, it's either a prime power or a composite number with all prime factors odd.But as we saw earlier, primes are out of the question because their sum is too low. So, n must be composite.Another thought: the number 1 is a divisor of every number, so the last digit 1 will always be included in the sum. So, the sum will always have at least 1. Then, the other divisors will contribute their last digits.So, if I subtract 1 from 33, I get 32. So, the sum of the last digits of the other divisors (excluding 1) must be 32.Hmm, that might be a helpful way to think about it.Also, note that n itself is a divisor, so the last digit of n is also included in the sum. Since n is odd, its last digit is 1, 3, 5, 7, or 9. So, the last digit of n is one of these, and it contributes to the sum.Therefore, the total sum is 1 (from divisor 1) plus the last digits of the other divisors, including n itself.So, maybe I can think about the last digit of n and how it affects the sum.Let me denote the last digit of n as L. So, L is in {1,3,5,7,9}. Then, the sum of the last digits is 1 (from 1) + sum of last digits of other divisors (excluding 1) + L (from n itself). So, total sum is 1 + sum + L = 33. Therefore, sum + L = 32.So, sum of last digits of the other divisors (excluding 1 and n) is 32 - L.Since L is at least 1 and at most 9, 32 - L is between 23 and 31.So, depending on the last digit of n, the sum contributed by the other divisors (excluding 1 and n) is between 23 and 31.Hmm, that might help.But how do I find such numbers?Perhaps I can consider that the number of divisors is limited. Let's think about the number of divisors a number can have. For numbers around 500-1000, the number of divisors can vary, but let's say on average, maybe 10-20 divisors.But since we're dealing with odd numbers, the number of divisors is also odd, because divisors come in pairs unless the number is a perfect square. Wait, no, actually, the number of divisors is odd if and only if the number is a perfect square. So, if n is a perfect square, it has an odd number of divisors; otherwise, it has an even number.But since n is odd, if it's a perfect square, its square root is also odd.So, perhaps n could be a perfect square. Let me check: for example, 529 is 23 squared, which is odd. Its divisors are 1, 23, 529. The last digits are 1, 3, 9. Sum is 1+3+9=13, which is way less than 33. So, that's not enough.Similarly, 567 is not a perfect square, but let's see. Wait, 567 is 3^4 * 7. Its divisors are 1, 3, 7, 9, 21, 27, 63, 81, 189, 567. The last digits: 1,3,7,9,1,7,3,1,9,7. Sum: 1+3=4, +7=11, +9=20, +1=21, +7=28, +3=31, +1=32, +9=41, +7=48. So, sum is 48, which is more than 33.Hmm, so 567's sum is 48. So, that's too high.Wait, so maybe the number of divisors is a factor here. If a number has too many divisors, the sum might be too high. So, perhaps numbers with a moderate number of divisors, not too many, not too few.Alternatively, maybe numbers with specific last digits.Wait, let's think about the last digit of n. Since n is odd, as we said, L is 1,3,5,7,9.Let me consider each case:Case 1: L=1Then, sum of last digits of other divisors (excluding 1 and n) is 32 - 1 = 31.So, we need the sum of last digits of the other divisors to be 31.Case 2: L=3Sum needed: 32 - 3 = 29.Case 3: L=5Sum needed: 32 -5=27.Case 4: L=7Sum needed:32 -7=25.Case 5: L=9Sum needed:32 -9=23.So, depending on the last digit of n, the required sum from the other divisors varies.Now, perhaps if I can figure out for each possible last digit, what kind of numbers would satisfy the sum condition.But maybe it's better to think about the structure of the number n.Since n is odd, it's not divisible by 2. So, all its prime factors are odd primes.Therefore, n can be expressed as a product of primes like 3,5,7,11, etc.Moreover, the number of divisors is determined by the exponents in its prime factorization.But perhaps I can think about the last digits of the divisors.Each divisor is a product of primes, so their last digits are determined by the last digits of the primes and how they multiply.But this might get complicated.Alternatively, maybe I can think about the sum of the last digits of the divisors.Wait, another approach: for a given number n, the sum of the last digits of its divisors is equal to 33.But since all divisors are odd, their last digits are 1,3,5,7,9.So, the sum is 33, which is an odd number. Since 33 is odd, the number of divisors must be odd because the sum of an even number of odd digits would be even, and the sum of an odd number of odd digits would be odd.Therefore, n must have an odd number of divisors, which means n must be a perfect square.Wait, that's a key insight! Because only perfect squares have an odd number of divisors. So, n must be an odd perfect square between 500 and 1000.But wait, let me verify that.Yes, because for any number, divisors come in pairs (d, n/d). If n is not a perfect square, all divisors come in pairs, so the number of divisors is even. If n is a perfect square, one of the divisors is sqrt(n), which is not paired with a different number, so the number of divisors is odd.Therefore, since the sum of the last digits is 33, which is odd, the number of divisors must be odd, hence n must be a perfect square.So, now, we can limit our search to odd perfect squares between 500 and 1000.Let me list the odd perfect squares in this range.First, sqrt(500) is approximately 22.36, so the next integer is 23. 23 squared is 529.Then, 25 squared is 625.27 squared is 729.29 squared is 841.31 squared is 961.33 squared is 1089, which is above 1000, so we stop here.So, the odd perfect squares between 500 and 1000 are: 529, 625, 729, 841, 961.So, these are the candidates. Now, for each of these, let's compute the sum of the last digits of their divisors and see if it equals 33.Let's start with 529.529 is 23 squared. Its divisors are 1, 23, and 529.So, the last digits are 1, 3, and 9.Sum: 1 + 3 + 9 = 13. Not 33. So, 529 is out.Next, 625.625 is 5^4. Its divisors are 1, 5, 25, 125, 625.Last digits: 1,5,5,5,5.Sum: 1 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 5 = 21. Not 33. So, 625 is out.Next, 729.729 is 9^3, which is 3^6. Its divisors are 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729.Last digits: 1,3,9,7,1,3,9.Sum: 1 + 3 + 9 + 7 + 1 + 3 + 9.Let me compute that: 1+3=4, +9=13, +7=20, +1=21, +3=24, +9=33.Oh! That adds up to 33. So, 729 is a candidate.Wait, let me double-check.Divisors of 729: 1, 3, 9, 27, 81, 243, 729.Last digits: 1,3,9,7,1,3,9.Sum: 1+3=4, +9=13, +7=20, +1=21, +3=24, +9=33. Yes, that's correct.So, 729 is a valid number.Next, 841.841 is 29 squared. Its divisors are 1, 29, 841.Last digits: 1,9,1.Sum: 1 + 9 + 1 = 11. Not 33. So, 841 is out.Next, 961.961 is 31 squared. Its divisors are 1, 31, 961.Last digits: 1,1,1.Sum: 1 + 1 + 1 = 3. Not 33. So, 961 is out.So, among the odd perfect squares between 500 and 1000, only 729 satisfies the condition.Wait, but hold on. Earlier, I assumed that n must be a perfect square because the number of divisors is odd, which is necessary for the sum of last digits (each odd) to be odd (33). So, only perfect squares are candidates.But let me think again: is it possible that a non-square number could have an odd number of divisors? No, because as I thought earlier, divisors come in pairs unless it's a perfect square. So, non-squares have even number of divisors, which would make the sum of last digits even, but 33 is odd. Therefore, only perfect squares can satisfy the condition.Therefore, 729 is the only number in the range that satisfies the condition.Wait, but just to be thorough, let me check if there are any other numbers, maybe non-squares, which could have an odd number of divisors. But no, as per number theory, only perfect squares have an odd number of divisors. So, non-squares cannot have an odd number of divisors, so their sum of last digits would be even, which cannot be 33.Therefore, 729 is the only number.But just to be extra cautious, let me think: is there any way a non-square number could have an odd number of divisors? For example, if a number is a cube, like 8, which is 2^3. Its divisors are 1,2,4,8. That's four divisors, which is even. So, even exponents in prime factorization don't necessarily make it a square. Wait, 8 is 2^3, which is not a square, but it's a cube. Its number of divisors is 4, which is even.Wait, another example: 16 is 2^4, which is a square, and it has 5 divisors, which is odd. So, yeah, only squares have odd number of divisors.Therefore, I can be confident that 729 is the only number in the range that satisfies the condition.But just to make sure, let me think about 729 again. Its prime factorization is 3^6, so its divisors are 3^0, 3^1, 3^2, 3^3, 3^4, 3^5, 3^6, which correspond to 1,3,9,27,81,243,729. As I listed before, their last digits are 1,3,9,7,1,3,9, which sum up to 33.Yes, that's correct.Therefore, the only number is 729.**Final Answer**The only such number is boxed{729}.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem where there are 12 knights sitting around a round table, each has chosen a different number. Each knight claims that their number is greater than the numbers chosen by their immediate neighbors on the right and left. I need to figure out the maximum number of these claims that can be true.Hmm, let me try to visualize this. Imagine a circular table with 12 knights, each with a unique number. Each knight is making a claim about their number being greater than their two neighbors. Since all numbers are different, each comparison is definite—no ties.So, the question is asking for the maximum number of knights who can actually be telling the truth. That is, how many knights can have numbers greater than both their left and right neighbors.I think this is similar to arranging numbers in a circle where each number is a local maximum compared to its immediate neighbors. So, in graph theory terms, each local maximum is a peak. So, the problem reduces to finding the maximum number of peaks possible in a circular arrangement of 12 distinct numbers.Wait, but in a circular arrangement, peaks can't be adjacent because if one knight is a peak, their neighbors must be lower, so those neighbors can't be peaks. So, peaks must be separated by at least one non-peak.So, if I can place peaks with at least one non-peak between them, how many can I fit around the table?Since it's a circle, the number of peaks can't exceed half the number of knights, right? Because each peak needs a non-peak on either side. So, for 12 knights, half of that is 6. So, is 6 the maximum?But wait, let me think again. If I have a peak, then the next knight must be a non-peak, but that non-peak could potentially be a peak on the other side? Wait, no, because if a knight is a non-peak, it means it's not greater than both its neighbors, so it could be either a valley or a slope.Wait, maybe I can have more than 6 peaks? Let me try to construct an example.Suppose I arrange the numbers in a way where every other knight is a peak. So, knight 1 is a peak, knight 2 is not, knight 3 is a peak, knight 4 is not, and so on. Since it's a circle, knight 12 would be a peak, and knight 1 is a peak again. But wait, that would mean knight 12 is a peak, which is adjacent to knight 11 and knight 1. But knight 1 is also a peak, so knight 12's right neighbor is a peak, which is higher than knight 12. That can't be, because knight 12 is supposed to be a peak, meaning it's higher than both its neighbors.So, in that case, knight 12 can't be a peak if knight 1 is a peak because knight 1 is higher than knight 12. So, that arrangement doesn't work.So, maybe I can't have peaks every other knight. Maybe I need to space them out more.Wait, perhaps if I arrange the numbers in a way where each peak is separated by two non-peaks. So, peak, non-peak, non-peak, peak, non-peak, non-peak, etc. Let's see how that works.But in that case, for 12 knights, how many peaks would that give? 12 divided by 3 is 4. So, 4 peaks. But is that the maximum? Maybe I can do better.Alternatively, maybe arranging the numbers in a way where peaks are separated by one non-peak, but not every other knight. Let me try to think of a specific arrangement.Suppose I have knights arranged in the order of 12, 1, 11, 2, 10, 3, 9, 4, 8, 5, 7, 6. Let me check if this arrangement gives multiple peaks.Wait, knight 1 has number 12, which is greater than knight 12 (6) and knight 2 (1). So, knight 1 is a peak.Knight 2 has number 1, which is less than both neighbors (12 and 11). So, not a peak.Knight 3 has number 11, which is greater than knight 2 (1) and knight 4 (2). So, knight 3 is a peak.Knight 4 has number 2, which is less than knight 3 (11) and knight 5 (10). Not a peak.Knight 5 has number 10, which is greater than knight 4 (2) and knight 6 (3). So, knight 5 is a peak.Knight 6 has number 3, less than knight 5 (10) and knight 7 (9). Not a peak.Knight 7 has number 9, greater than knight 6 (3) and knight 8 (4). So, knight 7 is a peak.Knight 8 has number 4, less than knight 7 (9) and knight 9 (8). Not a peak.Knight 9 has number 8, greater than knight 8 (4) and knight 10 (5). So, knight 9 is a peak.Knight 10 has number 5, less than knight 9 (8) and knight 11 (7). Not a peak.Knight 11 has number 7, greater than knight 10 (5) and knight 12 (6). So, knight 11 is a peak.Knight 12 has number 6, less than knight 11 (7) and knight 1 (12). Not a peak.So, in this arrangement, knights 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11 are peaks. That's 6 peaks. Wait, but earlier I thought that peaks can't be adjacent, but in this case, knight 1 is adjacent to knight 12, who is not a peak, and knight 2, who is not a peak. Similarly, knight 3 is adjacent to knight 2 (non-peak) and knight 4 (non-peak). So, actually, each peak is separated by one non-peak. So, in this case, we have 6 peaks.But wait, earlier I thought that if you have peaks every other knight, it would cause a conflict at the ends because it's a circle. But in this arrangement, it's working because the numbers are arranged in a way that each peak is higher than its immediate neighbors, and the non-peaks are arranged in a decreasing and increasing fashion.Wait, let me check knight 11: number 7 is greater than knight 10 (5) and knight 12 (6). So, yes, it's a peak. But knight 12 is 6, which is less than knight 11 (7) and knight 1 (12). So, knight 12 is not a peak, which is fine because knight 1 is a peak.So, in this arrangement, we have 6 peaks. So, is 6 the maximum? Or can we have more?Wait, let me think. If we try to have 7 peaks, that would mean that 7 knights are peaks, each separated by at least one non-peak. But in a circle of 12, 7 peaks would require 7 non-peaks, but we only have 12 knights. 7 peaks + 7 non-peaks would be 14, which is more than 12. So, that's impossible.Wait, but actually, each peak needs at least one non-peak on each side, but in a circle, the non-peaks can be shared between peaks. So, for example, one non-peak can serve as the separator between two peaks.Wait, no, because each non-peak is a single knight, so each non-peak can only be adjacent to two knights. So, if you have a non-peak between two peaks, that non-peak is shared between the two peaks.So, in that case, the number of non-peaks needed would be equal to the number of peaks, because each peak needs a non-peak on each side, but each non-peak can serve two peaks.Wait, no, that might not be correct. Let me think again.If you have peaks separated by one non-peak, then the number of non-peaks is equal to the number of peaks. Because each peak has a non-peak on each side, but each non-peak is shared between two peaks.So, for example, if you have 6 peaks, you need 6 non-peaks, each separating two peaks. So, total knights would be 6 peaks + 6 non-peaks = 12, which works.If you try to have 7 peaks, you would need 7 non-peaks, but 7 peaks + 7 non-peaks = 14, which is more than 12. So, that's impossible.Therefore, the maximum number of peaks is 6.But wait, in my previous arrangement, I had 6 peaks, each separated by one non-peak, and it worked. So, maybe 6 is the maximum.But let me try to see if I can have more than 6 peaks by arranging the numbers differently.Suppose I try to have 7 peaks. Each peak needs to be greater than its two neighbors. So, each peak must be higher than the knights on both sides.But if I have 7 peaks, each peak must be higher than its two neighbors, which are non-peaks. But in a circle, each non-peak is adjacent to two peaks. So, each non-peak is lower than both its neighbors, which are peaks.But in that case, the non-peaks would have to be the smallest numbers, but we only have 12 numbers, so if we have 7 peaks, the non-peaks would have to be 5 numbers. Wait, that doesn't make sense.Wait, if we have 7 peaks, each peak is higher than its two neighbors, which are non-peaks. So, each non-peak is lower than both its neighbors, which are peaks. So, the non-peaks must be the smallest numbers.But with 12 numbers, if we have 7 peaks, the non-peaks would be 5 numbers. So, those 5 non-peaks would have to be the smallest 5 numbers, and the peaks would be the remaining 7 numbers.But in that case, each non-peak is between two peaks, so each non-peak is lower than both peaks. So, that's possible.Wait, but how would the peaks be arranged? Let's try to construct such an arrangement.Suppose the non-peaks are numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and the peaks are 6,7,8,9,10,11,12.But arranging them in a circle, each non-peak (1-5) must be between two peaks (6-12). So, the arrangement would be something like peak, non-peak, peak, non-peak, etc.But since we have 7 peaks and 5 non-peaks, it's impossible to arrange them alternately because 7 peaks would require 7 non-peaks to separate them, but we only have 5 non-peaks.So, that's a problem. Therefore, it's impossible to have 7 peaks because we don't have enough non-peaks to separate them.Therefore, the maximum number of peaks is 6.Wait, but in my earlier arrangement, I had 6 peaks, each separated by one non-peak, and it worked because 6 peaks + 6 non-peaks = 12. So, that works.Therefore, the maximum number of true claims is 6.But wait, let me think again. Maybe there's a different arrangement where more than 6 claims can be true.Suppose I arrange the numbers in a way where some non-peaks are higher than one neighbor but lower than the other. That is, some non-peaks could be local maxima on one side but not the other.Wait, but in that case, those non-peaks wouldn't be peaks because they're not greater than both neighbors. So, they can't be peaks, but they can be higher than one neighbor.But how does that affect the number of peaks?Wait, maybe if some non-peaks are higher than one neighbor, that allows for more peaks.Wait, for example, suppose we have a sequence like 12, 11, 1, 10, 2, 9, 3, 8, 4, 7, 5, 6.Let me check the peaks here.Knight 1: 12 > 6 and 11? 12 > 6 and 12 > 11? Yes, so knight 1 is a peak.Knight 2: 11 > 12 and 1? 11 is not greater than 12, so not a peak.Knight 3: 1 > 11 and 10? No, so not a peak.Knight 4: 10 > 1 and 2? Yes, 10 > 1 and 10 > 2, so knight 4 is a peak.Knight 5: 2 > 10 and 9? No, so not a peak.Knight 6: 9 > 2 and 3? Yes, 9 > 2 and 9 > 3, so knight 6 is a peak.Knight 7: 3 > 9 and 8? No, so not a peak.Knight 8: 8 > 3 and 4? Yes, 8 > 3 and 8 > 4, so knight 8 is a peak.Knight 9: 4 > 8 and 7? No, so not a peak.Knight 10: 7 > 4 and 5? Yes, 7 > 4 and 7 > 5, so knight 10 is a peak.Knight 11: 5 > 7 and 6? No, so not a peak.Knight 12: 6 > 5 and 12? 6 is not greater than 12, so not a peak.So, in this arrangement, we have peaks at knights 1, 4, 6, 8, 10. That's 5 peaks. Hmm, less than the previous arrangement.Wait, so maybe arranging the numbers in a way where non-peaks are higher than one neighbor doesn't necessarily increase the number of peaks.Alternatively, maybe arranging the numbers in a way where some non-peaks are higher than one neighbor allows for more peaks.Wait, let me try another arrangement.Suppose I arrange the numbers in a way where peaks are separated by two non-peaks. So, peak, non-peak, non-peak, peak, etc.So, for 12 knights, that would give 4 peaks, each separated by two non-peaks.But that's fewer peaks than the 6 we had earlier. So, that's worse.Alternatively, maybe arranging the numbers in a way where some peaks are closer together but not adjacent.Wait, but in a circle, if you have two peaks next to each other, that would mean that the knight between them is a non-peak, but it's adjacent to two peaks. So, that non-peak would have to be lower than both peaks, which is possible.But wait, if two peaks are adjacent, then the non-peak between them is lower than both. But in that case, the non-peak is a valley.But the problem is that the two peaks would each have to be higher than their other neighbor as well.Wait, let me try to construct such an arrangement.Suppose we have knights arranged as 12, 11, 1, 10, 2, 9, 3, 8, 4, 7, 5, 6.Wait, that's the same as before, which gave us 5 peaks.Alternatively, maybe arranging the numbers in a way where peaks are not evenly spaced.Wait, perhaps arranging the numbers in a way where some peaks are separated by one non-peak and others by two.But I'm not sure if that would allow for more peaks.Wait, let me think about the problem differently.Each peak requires that its two neighbors are lower. So, each peak "uses up" two lower numbers.But since all numbers are distinct, each lower number can only be used once.Wait, no, because a lower number can be a neighbor to two peaks.Wait, for example, if a non-peak is between two peaks, it's lower than both peaks. So, that non-peak is used by two peaks.Therefore, each non-peak can serve as a lower neighbor for two peaks.So, the number of non-peaks needed is equal to the number of peaks divided by 2, because each non-peak can serve two peaks.Wait, but in reality, each non-peak is adjacent to two knights, which could be peaks or non-peaks.Wait, maybe I need to model this as a graph.Each peak is a node, and each non-peak is a node. Each peak is connected to two non-peaks (its neighbors). Each non-peak is connected to two peaks (its neighbors). So, in graph terms, it's a bipartite graph with peaks and non-peaks.In a bipartite graph, the number of edges from peaks to non-peaks must be equal to the number of edges from non-peaks to peaks.Each peak has two edges (connections) to non-peaks, so total edges from peaks is 2 * number of peaks.Each non-peak has two edges (connections) to peaks, so total edges from non-peaks is 2 * number of non-peaks.Therefore, 2 * peaks = 2 * non-peaks => peaks = non-peaks.So, the number of peaks must equal the number of non-peaks.But in our case, the total number of knights is 12, so peaks + non-peaks = 12.If peaks = non-peaks, then peaks = 6, non-peaks = 6.Therefore, the maximum number of peaks is 6.So, that's consistent with my earlier arrangement where I had 6 peaks.Therefore, the maximum number of true claims is 6.Wait, but let me just confirm this with another example.Suppose I have 6 peaks and 6 non-peaks arranged alternately: peak, non-peak, peak, non-peak, etc.Each peak is higher than its two non-peak neighbors, and each non-peak is lower than its two peak neighbors.This works because the peaks are arranged in a way that each is higher than its immediate neighbors, and the non-peaks are arranged in a way that they are lower than their immediate neighbors.Therefore, in this arrangement, all 6 peaks are telling the truth, and the 6 non-peaks are not.Hence, the maximum number of true claims is 6.I think that's the answer.**Final Answer**The maximum number of true claims is boxed{6}.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem about an arithmetic sequence. Let me try to figure it out step by step. The problem says:"If the sum of the first 5 terms of an arithmetic sequence is 10, and the sum of the first 10 terms is 50, then the sum of the first 15 terms equals _______."Hmm, arithmetic sequences. I remember that in an arithmetic sequence, each term increases by a constant difference. So, if I denote the first term as ( a ) and the common difference as ( d ), then the sequence goes ( a, a + d, a + 2d, a + 3d, ) and so on.Now, the sum of the first ( n ) terms of an arithmetic sequence can be calculated using the formula:[S_n = frac{n}{2} times [2a + (n - 1)d]]Alternatively, I also remember another version of the sum formula, which is:[S_n = frac{n}{2} times (a + l)]where ( l ) is the last term of those ( n ) terms. But since I don't know the last term, maybe the first formula is more useful here.Let me write down the given information:1. The sum of the first 5 terms (( S_5 )) is 10.2. The sum of the first 10 terms (( S_{10} )) is 50.So, I can set up two equations using the sum formula.First, for ( S_5 ):[S_5 = frac{5}{2} times [2a + (5 - 1)d] = 10]Simplify that:[frac{5}{2} times [2a + 4d] = 10]Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:[5 times [2a + 4d] = 20]Divide both sides by 5:[2a + 4d = 4]I can simplify this equation by dividing both sides by 2:[a + 2d = 2 quad text{(Equation 1)}]Okay, that's one equation. Now, let's do the same for ( S_{10} ):[S_{10} = frac{10}{2} times [2a + (10 - 1)d] = 50]Simplify:[5 times [2a + 9d] = 50]Divide both sides by 5:[2a + 9d = 10 quad text{(Equation 2)}]Now, I have two equations:1. ( a + 2d = 2 ) (Equation 1)2. ( 2a + 9d = 10 ) (Equation 2)I need to solve this system of equations to find ( a ) and ( d ). Let me use the substitution method. From Equation 1, I can express ( a ) in terms of ( d ):[a = 2 - 2d]Now, substitute this expression for ( a ) into Equation 2:[2(2 - 2d) + 9d = 10]Let me compute that:First, distribute the 2:[4 - 4d + 9d = 10]Combine like terms:[4 + 5d = 10]Subtract 4 from both sides:[5d = 6]Divide both sides by 5:[d = frac{6}{5} = 1.2]Hmm, so the common difference ( d ) is ( frac{6}{5} ). Now, let's find ( a ) using the expression from Equation 1:[a = 2 - 2d = 2 - 2 times frac{6}{5} = 2 - frac{12}{5}]Convert 2 to fifths:[2 = frac{10}{5}]So,[a = frac{10}{5} - frac{12}{5} = -frac{2}{5} = -0.4]Alright, so the first term ( a ) is ( -frac{2}{5} ) and the common difference ( d ) is ( frac{6}{5} ).Now, the question asks for the sum of the first 15 terms (( S_{15} )). Let's use the sum formula again:[S_{15} = frac{15}{2} times [2a + (15 - 1)d]]Plugging in the values of ( a ) and ( d ):First, compute ( 2a ):[2a = 2 times left(-frac{2}{5}right) = -frac{4}{5}]Next, compute ( (15 - 1)d = 14d ):[14d = 14 times frac{6}{5} = frac{84}{5}]Now, add ( 2a ) and ( 14d ):[-frac{4}{5} + frac{84}{5} = frac{80}{5} = 16]So, inside the brackets, we have 16. Now, multiply by ( frac{15}{2} ):[S_{15} = frac{15}{2} times 16]Compute that:[frac{15}{2} times 16 = 15 times 8 = 120]So, the sum of the first 15 terms is 120.Wait, let me double-check my calculations to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Starting with the sum formula:[S_n = frac{n}{2} [2a + (n - 1)d]]For ( n = 15 ):[S_{15} = frac{15}{2} [2a + 14d]]We found ( a = -frac{2}{5} ) and ( d = frac{6}{5} ). Let's plug them in:Compute ( 2a ):[2 times left(-frac{2}{5}right) = -frac{4}{5}]Compute ( 14d ):[14 times frac{6}{5} = frac{84}{5}]Add them together:[-frac{4}{5} + frac{84}{5} = frac{80}{5} = 16]So, ( 2a + 14d = 16 ). Then, ( frac{15}{2} times 16 = frac{15 times 16}{2} = frac{240}{2} = 120 ). Yep, that seems correct.Alternatively, maybe I can use another approach to verify. Since arithmetic sequences have linear properties, sometimes the sums can form another arithmetic sequence or something. Let me think.Wait, the sum of the first 5 terms is 10, the sum of the first 10 terms is 50. So, the sum from term 6 to term 10 is ( 50 - 10 = 40 ). Similarly, the sum from term 11 to term 15 should be something. Maybe I can find a pattern.But actually, in an arithmetic sequence, the sums of consecutive blocks of terms also form an arithmetic sequence. Let me explain.The sum of the first 5 terms is 10, the sum of the next 5 terms (terms 6-10) is 40, so the difference between these sums is 30. If this pattern continues, the sum of the next 5 terms (terms 11-15) should be 40 + 30 = 70. Therefore, the sum of the first 15 terms would be 10 + 40 + 70 = 120. Yep, that matches my earlier result.So, that's another way to see it. The sums of each 5-term block increase by 30 each time. So, starting with 10, then 40, then 70. Adding them up gives 120.Therefore, I'm confident that the sum of the first 15 terms is 120.**Final Answer**The sum of the first 15 terms equals boxed{120}.

answer：To determine the smallest positive integer greater than 1 that leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by 4, 5, and 6, I first recognize that the number must be one more than a common multiple of these divisors.I start by finding the least common multiple (LCM) of 4, 5, and 6. Breaking each number into its prime factors:- 4 = 2²- 5 = 5- 6 = 2 × 3The LCM is the product of the highest powers of all prime factors involved, which is 2² × 3 × 5 = 60.Since the number leaves a remainder of 1 when divided by these divisors, the smallest such number is 60 + 1 = 61.Finally, I compare 61 to the given ranges and find that it falls between 60 and 79.

answer：Okay, so I have this problem here about an arithmetic sequence. Let me try to figure it out step by step. The problem says that Sₙ is the sum of the first n terms of the arithmetic sequence {aₙ}, and we're given that a₃ = 5 and S₆ = 42. We need to find S₉. Hmm, okay.First, let me recall what an arithmetic sequence is. It's a sequence where each term after the first is obtained by adding a constant difference. So, if I denote the first term as a₁ and the common difference as d, then the nth term aₙ can be written as:aₙ = a₁ + (n - 1)dGot that. So, for example, the third term a₃ would be:a₃ = a₁ + 2dAnd we know that a₃ is 5, so:a₁ + 2d = 5 ...(1)Okay, that's one equation. Now, the sum of the first n terms of an arithmetic sequence is given by the formula:Sₙ = n/2 [2a₁ + (n - 1)d]Alternatively, it can also be written as:Sₙ = n(a₁ + aₙ)/2Since we know S₆ = 42, let's plug that into the formula. Using the first version:S₆ = 6/2 [2a₁ + (6 - 1)d] = 42Simplify that:3 [2a₁ + 5d] = 42Divide both sides by 3:2a₁ + 5d = 14 ...(2)Alright, so now I have two equations:1) a₁ + 2d = 52) 2a₁ + 5d = 14I need to solve these two equations to find a₁ and d. Let me use substitution or elimination. Maybe elimination is easier here.If I multiply equation (1) by 2, I get:2a₁ + 4d = 10 ...(1a)Now, subtract equation (1a) from equation (2):(2a₁ + 5d) - (2a₁ + 4d) = 14 - 10Simplify:2a₁ + 5d - 2a₁ - 4d = 4Which simplifies to:d = 4Okay, so the common difference d is 4. Now, plug this back into equation (1):a₁ + 2*4 = 5So,a₁ + 8 = 5Subtract 8 from both sides:a₁ = 5 - 8 = -3Alright, so the first term a₁ is -3, and the common difference d is 4.Now, let me write out the first few terms to make sure I haven't messed up. The first term is -3, then:a₁ = -3a₂ = a₁ + d = -3 + 4 = 1a₃ = a₂ + d = 1 + 4 = 5Which matches the given a₃ = 5. Good.Now, let's check the sum S₆. Using the formula:S₆ = 6/2 [2*(-3) + (6 - 1)*4] = 3 [ -6 + 20 ] = 3 [14] = 42Which is correct. So, that checks out.Now, the question is asking for S₉, the sum of the first 9 terms. Let's use the sum formula again:S₉ = 9/2 [2a₁ + (9 - 1)d]Plugging in a₁ = -3 and d = 4:S₉ = (9/2) [2*(-3) + 8*4] = (9/2) [ -6 + 32 ] = (9/2)(26)Compute that:First, 26 divided by 2 is 13, so 9*13 = 117So, S₉ = 117Wait, let me double-check that calculation to make sure I didn't make a mistake.Compute inside the brackets first:2*(-3) = -68*4 = 32-6 + 32 = 26Then, 9/2 * 26 = (9 * 26)/226 divided by 2 is 13, so 9*13 is indeed 117.Alternatively, 26*9 = 234, then 234/2 = 117.Either way, same result.Just to be thorough, let me compute S₉ another way, using the other sum formula:Sₙ = n(a₁ + aₙ)/2So, for n=9, I need a₉.Compute a₉:a₉ = a₁ + (9 - 1)d = -3 + 8*4 = -3 + 32 = 29So, S₉ = 9*(a₁ + a₉)/2 = 9*(-3 + 29)/2 = 9*(26)/2 = 9*13 = 117Same result. So, that seems consistent.Alternatively, I can compute each term and add them up, but that would be tedious, but let me try at least a few terms to see if the sequence makes sense.a₁ = -3a₂ = 1a₃ = 5a₄ = 9a₅ = 13a₆ = 17a₇ = 21a₈ = 25a₉ = 29So, the terms are: -3, 1, 5, 9, 13, 17, 21, 25, 29Let me add them up:Start with -3 + 1 = -2-2 + 5 = 33 + 9 = 1212 + 13 = 2525 + 17 = 4242 + 21 = 6363 + 25 = 8888 + 29 = 117Yes, that adds up to 117. So, that's consistent as well.Therefore, I can be confident that S₉ is 117.**Final Answer**The value of ( S_{9} ) is boxed{117}.

answer：Alright, so I have this problem here: the line ( x + sqrt{3}y - 2 = 0 ) intersects with the circle ( x^2 + y^2 = r^2 ) at points A and B. The origin is O, and the angle ( angle AOB ) is 120 degrees. I need to find the value of ( r ).Hmm, okay. Let me visualize this. There's a circle centered at the origin with radius ( r ), and a line intersects this circle at two points A and B. The angle between OA and OB is 120 degrees. So, triangle AOB is an isosceles triangle with OA = OB = r, and the angle at O is 120 degrees.I remember that in such a triangle, the length of chord AB can be found using the formula ( AB = 2r sin(theta/2) ), where ( theta ) is the central angle. So, plugging in 120 degrees, that would be ( AB = 2r sin(60°) ). Since ( sin(60°) = sqrt{3}/2 ), this simplifies to ( AB = 2r times sqrt{3}/2 = rsqrt{3} ). So, the length of chord AB is ( rsqrt{3} ).Now, the line ( x + sqrt{3}y - 2 = 0 ) intersects the circle at points A and B. The distance between these two points is the length of chord AB, which we found to be ( rsqrt{3} ).Another approach to find the length of chord AB is using the formula for the length of a chord given the distance from the center to the chord. The formula is ( AB = 2sqrt{r^2 - d^2} ), where ( d ) is the distance from the center to the chord.In this case, the center of the circle is the origin (0,0), and the distance from the origin to the line ( x + sqrt{3}y - 2 = 0 ) can be calculated using the formula for the distance from a point to a line: ( d = frac{|Ax + By + C|}{sqrt{A^2 + B^2}} ). Here, the line is ( x + sqrt{3}y - 2 = 0 ), so A=1, B=√3, C=-2. Plugging in the origin (0,0):( d = frac{|1*0 + sqrt{3}*0 - 2|}{sqrt{1^2 + (sqrt{3})^2}} = frac{|-2|}{sqrt{1 + 3}} = frac{2}{2} = 1 ).So, the distance from the origin to the line is 1 unit.Therefore, the length of chord AB is ( 2sqrt{r^2 - 1^2} = 2sqrt{r^2 - 1} ).But earlier, we found that AB is also equal to ( rsqrt{3} ). So, setting these two expressions equal to each other:( 2sqrt{r^2 - 1} = rsqrt{3} ).Let me solve this equation for ( r ).First, square both sides to eliminate the square roots:( (2sqrt{r^2 - 1})^2 = (rsqrt{3})^2 )Simplify both sides:( 4(r^2 - 1) = 3r^2 )Expand the left side:( 4r^2 - 4 = 3r^2 )Subtract ( 3r^2 ) from both sides:( 4r^2 - 3r^2 - 4 = 0 )Simplify:( r^2 - 4 = 0 )So, ( r^2 = 4 ), which means ( r = 2 ) since ( r > 0 ).Wait, let me double-check my steps to make sure I didn't make any mistakes.1. Calculated the length of chord AB using the central angle: ( AB = 2r sin(60°) = rsqrt{3} ). That seems correct.2. Calculated the distance from the origin to the line: ( d = 1 ). That also seems correct.3. Used the chord length formula: ( AB = 2sqrt{r^2 - d^2} = 2sqrt{r^2 - 1} ). That formula is correct.4. Set ( 2sqrt{r^2 - 1} = rsqrt{3} ) and squared both sides: ( 4(r^2 - 1) = 3r^2 ). Correct.5. Expanded and simplified: ( 4r^2 - 4 = 3r^2 ) leading to ( r^2 = 4 ), so ( r = 2 ). That seems right.Alternatively, maybe I can approach this problem using coordinate geometry. Let me try solving the system of equations to find points A and B, then compute the angle AOB.The circle equation is ( x^2 + y^2 = r^2 ), and the line is ( x + sqrt{3}y = 2 ). Let me solve for x in terms of y from the line equation: ( x = 2 - sqrt{3}y ). Substitute this into the circle equation:( (2 - sqrt{3}y)^2 + y^2 = r^2 )Expanding ( (2 - sqrt{3}y)^2 ):( 4 - 4sqrt{3}y + 3y^2 + y^2 = r^2 )Combine like terms:( 4 - 4sqrt{3}y + 4y^2 = r^2 )Bring all terms to one side:( 4y^2 - 4sqrt{3}y + (4 - r^2) = 0 )This is a quadratic in y: ( 4y^2 - 4sqrt{3}y + (4 - r^2) = 0 ). Let me denote this as ( ay^2 + by + c = 0 ), where a=4, b=-4√3, c=4 - r².The solutions for y can be found using the quadratic formula:( y = frac{-b pm sqrt{b^2 - 4ac}}{2a} )Plugging in the values:( y = frac{4sqrt{3} pm sqrt{( -4sqrt{3})^2 - 4*4*(4 - r^2)}}{2*4} )Simplify inside the square root:( ( -4sqrt{3})^2 = 16*3 = 48 )( 4*4*(4 - r^2) = 16*(4 - r^2) = 64 - 16r^2 )So, discriminant D = 48 - (64 - 16r²) = 48 - 64 + 16r² = -16 + 16r² = 16(r² - 1)Therefore, the solutions are:( y = frac{4sqrt{3} pm sqrt{16(r² - 1)}}{8} = frac{4sqrt{3} pm 4sqrt{r² - 1}}{8} = frac{sqrt{3} pm sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} )So, the y-coordinates of points A and B are ( frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} ) and ( frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} ).Corresponding x-coordinates can be found from ( x = 2 - sqrt{3}y ):For y = ( frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} ):( x = 2 - sqrt{3}*frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = 2 - frac{3 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = frac{4 - 3 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = frac{1 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} )Similarly, for y = ( frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} ):( x = 2 - sqrt{3}*frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = 2 - frac{3 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = frac{4 - 3 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} = frac{1 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} )So, the coordinates of points A and B are:A: ( left( frac{1 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2}, frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) )B: ( left( frac{1 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2}, frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) )Now, to find the angle ( angle AOB ), which is 120 degrees. The vectors OA and OB can be represented by the coordinates of A and B. The angle between vectors OA and OB can be found using the dot product formula:( cos(theta) = frac{OA cdot OB}{|OA||OB|} )Since OA and OB are both radii of the circle, their magnitudes are both r. So,( cos(120°) = frac{OA cdot OB}{r^2} )We know that ( cos(120°) = -1/2 ). So,( -1/2 = frac{OA cdot OB}{r^2} )Therefore,( OA cdot OB = -r^2/2 )Let me compute the dot product OA · OB.OA is the vector from O to A: ( left( frac{1 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2}, frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) )OB is the vector from O to B: ( left( frac{1 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2}, frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) )Dot product OA · OB is:( left( frac{1 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} times frac{1 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) + left( frac{sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} times frac{sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1}}{2} right) )Let me compute each part separately.First term:( frac{(1 - sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1})(1 + sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1})}{4} )This is of the form ( (a - b)(a + b) = a² - b² ), so:( frac{1² - (sqrt{3}sqrt{r² - 1})²}{4} = frac{1 - 3(r² - 1)}{4} = frac{1 - 3r² + 3}{4} = frac{4 - 3r²}{4} )Second term:( frac{(sqrt{3} + sqrt{r² - 1})(sqrt{3} - sqrt{r² - 1})}{4} )Again, this is ( (a + b)(a - b) = a² - b² ):( frac{(sqrt{3})² - (sqrt{r² - 1})²}{4} = frac{3 - (r² - 1)}{4} = frac{3 - r² + 1}{4} = frac{4 - r²}{4} )Now, adding both terms together:( frac{4 - 3r²}{4} + frac{4 - r²}{4} = frac{4 - 3r² + 4 - r²}{4} = frac{8 - 4r²}{4} = 2 - r² )So, OA · OB = ( 2 - r² )But earlier, we had OA · OB = -r²/2. Therefore,( 2 - r² = -r²/2 )Let me solve this equation:Multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction:( 4 - 2r² = -r² )Bring all terms to one side:( 4 - 2r² + r² = 0 )Simplify:( 4 - r² = 0 )So, ( r² = 4 ), which gives ( r = 2 ) since ( r > 0 ).Okay, so both methods lead me to the same answer, ( r = 2 ). That gives me more confidence that this is the correct solution.Just to recap, the key steps were:1. Recognize that the chord length can be found in two ways: using the central angle and using the distance from the center to the chord.2. Equate the two expressions for chord length and solve for ( r ).3. Alternatively, solve the system of equations to find points A and B, compute the dot product, set it equal to the expression involving the cosine of 120 degrees, and solve for ( r ).Both methods converged to ( r = 2 ), so I think that's solid.**Final Answer**The value of ( r ) is boxed{2}.
