Problem 13: For each even positive integer , let denote the greatest power of that divides . For example, and . For each positive integer , let . Find the greatest integer less than 1000 such that is a perfect square.
Solution:
Problem 14: A tripod has three legs each of length feet. When the tripod is set up, the angle between any pair of legs is equal to the angle between any other pair, and the top of the tripod is feet from the ground. In setting up the tripod, the lower foot of one leg breaks off. Let be the height in feet of the top of the tripod from the ground when the broken tripod is set up. Then can be written in the form , where and are positive integers and is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find . (The notation denotes the greatest integer that is less than or equal to .)
