Problem 8

We are given n intervals on the real lines in which the number maximum number of mutually overlapping intervals is k_1. Suppose that the intervals are partitioned into r disjoint groups where a group contains at most k_2. A legal coloring of intervals satisfies: (1) overlapping intervals are not allowed to get the same color (2) intervals belonging to the same group are not allowed to have the same color.
Question: How many color will you use to color the intervals?

How to deal with a Fender Bender?

I was in this situation 10 days ago, and had no idea what I should do. I am still waiting for car inspection. Hopefully my car can return to its original shape!
( From: http://www.excite.com )
" You're pulling out of a parking space, and suddenly--thud--another driver has bumped the side of your car. Nobody's hurt, but both cars have suffered dents and scrapes. You were on your way somewhere, but now you're standing in the middle of a parking lot with a stranger. Should you call the police? What types of information should you obtain from the other driver before you each go your separate ways? Before you let the situation put a damper on your day, follow these guidelines to deal with a fender bender."

Problem 4

This question I got to know from Duc Ha:
" In a contest, there are 64 competitors. In each match, there are 2 competitors: the winner will stay, and the loser will go home!
Question: How many matches we need to choose the champion ?"
