The positive differences aiaja_i-a_j of five different positive integers a1,a2,a3,a4,a5a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4, a_5 are all different (there are altogether 1010 such differences). Find the least possible value of the largest number among the aia_i.

Draw a line passing through a point MM on the angle bisector of the angle AOB\angle AOB, that intersects OAOA and OBOB at points KK and LL respectively. Prove that the valus of the sum 1OK+1OL\frac{1}{|OK|}+\frac{1}{|OL|} does not depend on the choice of the straight line passing through MM, i.e. is defined by the size of the angle AOB and the selection of the point MM only.

Albert and Brita play a game with a bar of 1919 adjacent squares. Initially, there is a button on the middle square of the bar. At every turn Albert mentions one positive integer less than 55, and Brita moves button a number of squares in the direction of her choice - while doing so however, Brita must not move the button more than twice in one direction order. Prove that Albert can choose the numbers so that by the 1919th turn, Brita to be forced to move the button out of the bar.
