Two people, $A$ and $B$, need to get from point $M$ to point $N$, which is 15 km away from $M$, as quickly as possible. They can walk at a speed of 6 km/h, and they have a bicycle that allows travel at 15 km/h. $A$ starts the journey on foot, while $B$ rides the bicycle until meeting with pedestrian $C$, who is walking from $N$ to $M$. After meeting, $B$ walks, and $C$ rides the bicycle to meet with $A$, then gives the bicycle to $A$, who then rides it to $N$. When should pedestrian $C$ leave $N$ so that the travel time for both $A$ and $B$ to reach $N$ is minimized? (Note: $C$ walks at the same speed as $A$ and $B$; the travel time is calculated from when $A$ and $B$ leave $M$ to when the last of them arrives at $N$.)

There are 900 three-digit numbers $(100, 101, \cdots, 999)$. Each number is printed on a card; some of these numbers, when seen upside-down, still appear as three-digit numbers. For example, when 198 is seen upside-down, it still appears as a valid three-digit number. Therefore, at most $\qquad$ cards can be omitted from printing.

In a certain country, there are 47 cities. Each city has a bus station from which buses travel to other cities in the country and possibly abroad. A traveler studied the schedule and determined the number of internal bus routes originating from each city. It turned out that if we do not consider the city of Ozerny, then for each of the remaining 46 cities, the number of internal routes originating from it differs from the number of routes originating from other cities. Find out how many cities in the country have direct bus connections with the city of Ozerny. The number of internal bus routes for a given city is the number of cities in the country that can be reached from that city by a direct bus without transfers. Routes are symmetric: if you can travel by bus from city $A$ to city $B$, you can also travel by bus from city $B$ to city $A$.

The king distributed ducats to his sons. To the eldest son, he gave a certain number of ducats, to the younger son he gave one less ducat, and to the next younger son again one less ducat, and so he continued until the youngest. Then he returned to the eldest son and gave him one less ducat than the youngest received last time, and distributed in the same manner as in the first round. In this round, the youngest son received one ducat. The eldest son received a total of 21 ducats. Determine how many sons the king had and the total number of ducats he distributed.
