Let SS be a real number. It is known that however we choose several numbers from the interval (0,1](0, 1] with sum equal to SS, these numbers can be separated into two subsets with the following property: The sum of the numbers in one of the subsets doesn’t exceed 1 and the sum of the numbers in the other subset doesn’t exceed 5.
Find the greatest possible value of SS.

There are aa straight lines in a plane, no two of which are parallel to each other and no three intersect in one point.
a) Prove that there exist a straight line for which each of the two Half-Planes defined by it contains at least
(a1)(a2)10\lfloor \frac{(a-1)(a-2)}{10} \rfloor
intersection points.
b) Find all aa for which the evaluation in a) is the best possible.
