Problem Statement

1. Given a positive integer r>1r>1, prove that there exists an infinite number of infinite geometrical series, with positive terms, having the sum 1 and satisfying the following condition: for any positive real numbers S1,S2,,SrS_{1},S_{2},\dots,S_{r} such that S1+S2++Sr=1S_{1}+S_{2}+\dots+S_{r}=1, any of these infinite geometrical series can be divided into rr infinite series(not necessarily geometrical) having the sums S1,S2,,SrS_{1},S_{2},\dots,S_{r}, respectively. (S. 6)
