Thank you for the contest! Hovewer, I must say that problems were not clear in some cases:

  • In "Playing with Combinatorics" there was no mention of integer division. Luckily, if we put non-integer values in that formula (factorials can be taken from non-integer values), it will become non-integer. That gives a hint.
  • In "Highways of Byteland" there is no explanation of "inter-connected cities" (after some guessing I derived that this means "cities, connected by a path", not "cities, connected by a road").

By the way, should I expect some prize or not?
