Solution

Problem 3

Solution

Problem 5

A principal is pushing out an emergency COVID-19 alert to his school of $40$ teachers and $500$ students. Suppose the announcement is first approved by his $5$ aides. Then, each of the aides share the announcement to $n$ teachers and $t$ students, where $n,t \in \mathbb{Z}$ and for every aide $n \neq t$. Moreover, $n+t = (u+1)^2$, where $u$ is the round number ( for the first notice it is round 1, then round 2....) After every round $u$, some $k$ teachers in the previous round share the announcement to a new group of $n$ teachers and $t$ students, where $k=(u+1)^2$. How many rounds will it take until the entire school is informed? Assume that after all teachers are informed, $n=0$, but $t$ still grows as if $n \neq 0$.

$\textbf{(A)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 4\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 7$
