There are 17 parallels and 24 meridians on the globe.
How many parts is the surface of the globe divided into?

ℹ️ Meridian is an arc connecting the North Pole with the South Pole.
Parallel is a circle parallel to the equator (the equator is also a parallel).

Say there are 100 prisoners numbered 1 to 100. Slips of paper containing each of their numbers are randomly placed in 100 boxes in a sealed room. One at a time, each prisoner is allowed to enter the room and open any 50 of the 100 boxes, searching for their number. And afterwards, they must leave the room exactly as they found it, and they can't communicate in any way with the other prisoners. If all 100 prisoners find their own number during their turn in the room, they will all be freed. But if even one of them fails to find their number, they will all be executed. The prisoners are allowed to strategize before any of them goes into the room. So what is their best strategy?

We call a pair of dominoes 1×2 harmonious if they form a 2×2 square.
Is there a partition of an 8×8 board into dominoes that has exactly one harmonious pair?

A quadrilateral with side lengths 1, 1, 1 and 2, two of which are parallel, is divided into four identical shapes. As a result, the upper side is divided into four segments. Find the ratio of the length of the larger segment to the smaller one.

There are three coins. Among them is a fake one that weighs less than the real one. How can you determine the counterfeit coin with a single weighing?

Wikipedia
Among the 101 coins there is one fake, which differs in weight from the real one. But this time it is not known which way. In two weighings, determine whether the fake coin is lighter or heavier than the real one. (The coin itself does not need to be determined.)

There are four weights. One of them is large and heavy, the second is smaller and lighter, the third is even smaller and lighter, and the fourth is the smallest and lightest. The weights are placed on the scales in turn (each time any of the weights is taken and placed on any cup of the scales). Is it possible, not knowing the exact weight of the weights, to put them all on the scales one by one in such an order that first three times the left cup is outweighed, and the last time the right one?

📜 Leaflet #balance
There are five coins. There are three real coins, one fake coin that weighs more than the real coin, and one fake coin that weighs less than the real coin. In three weighings, identify both counterfeit coins.

In 9 bags there are real coins (10 g each), and in one fake (11 g). With one weighing on a two-cup scale with an arrow, determine which bag the counterfeit coins are in. (The arrow shows how much the weight of coins on the "heavy" cup is greater than on the "light" one.)

📜 Leaflet #balance
There are 64 coins, all different in weight. For no more than 94 weighings, determine the lightest and heaviest coins.

On the clock that runs exactly, all the numbers have come off. Only the divisions without signatures remained. How do I know where to return each digit? (You don't have any other watches.)
