Euler’s Officers: we are given n^2 officers in n (equal sized) regiments holding n ranks, so that each regiment has an officer of each rank. Can the officers be arranged in an n × n array so that each row and each column contains an officer of each rank and each regiment? (a) Show there is no solution for four officers. (b) Show that there is a solution for nine officers. Hint: let the ranks be {x1, . . . , xn} and the regiments be {y1, . . . , yn} and label officers with the pair (xi, yj ) indicating their rank and regiment

A number in Z+is written on the back of each of three cards. The numbers are not necessarily different but the sum of the three numbers is 14. Each card is flipped backwards so that the number cannot be seen by anyone. Carter, Mars, and Mann each select one of the cards, being careful not to let the other two see the number that is on the card. Carter says, after looking at his card, “I know that Mars and Mann have different numbers.” Mars then says, “I already knew that thet hree cards had different numbers.” At this point, Mann confidently exclaims, “I now know all thet hree numbers!” What were the numbers and who had which number?

Combinatorics: 9. Three young brother-sister pairs from different families need to take a trip in a van. These six children will occupy the second and third rows in the van, each of which has three seats. To avoid disruptions, the siblings may not sit right next to each other in a row and no child may sit directly in front of his or her sibling. How many seating arrangements are possible for this trip? 10.
