Find the least constant \( C \) such that the inequality \[ \sum_{i<j} x_{i} x_{j}\left(x_{i}^{2}+x_{j}^{2}\right) \leq C\left(\sum_{i} x_{i}\right)^{4} \] holds for every \( x_{1}, \ldots, x_{n} \geq 0 \) (the sum on the left consists of \(\binom{n}{2}\) summands). For this constant \( \bar{C} \), characterize the instances of equality.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Lexi has a dictionary $\mathbb{D}$ consisting of some $k$ -letter strings containing only the letters $A$ and $B$ . Lexi would like to write either the letter $A$ or the letter $B$ in each cell of a $k \times k$ grid so that each column contains a string from $\mathbb{D}$ when read from top-to-bottom and each row contains a string from $\mathbb{D}$ when read from left-to-right. What is the smallest integer $m$ such that if $\mathbb{D}$ contains at least $m$ different strings, then Lexi can fill her grid in this manner, no matter what strings are in $\mathbb{D}$ ?

## 3. Hussar The captain of a hussar ship divides gold coins among a trio of his hussars in the following way: first division: one for me, one for each of you second division: two for me, one for each of you third division: three for me, one for each of you. In each subsequent division, the captain takes one more gold coin than in the previous division, and gives each of the other hussars one gold coin. How many more gold coins does the captain have in total compared to each of the other hussars after 44 divisions? Result: $\quad 858$
