On June 1, a group of students is standing in rows, with 15 students in each row. On June 2, the same group is standing with all of the students in one long row. On June 3, the same group is standing with just one student in each row. On June 4, the same group is standing with 6 students in each row. This process continues through June 12 with a different number of students per row each day. However, on June 13, they cannot find a new way of organizing the students. What is the smallest possible number of students in the group?

A baseball league consists of two four-team divisions. Each team plays every other team in its division $N$ games. Each team plays every team in the other division $M$ games with $N>2M$ and $M>4$. Each team plays a 76 game schedule. How many games does a team play within its own division?

Let $m$ and $n$ be two positive integers between $2$ and $99$, inclusive. Mr. $S$ knows their sum, and Mr. $P$ knows their product. Following are their conversations:

  • Mr. $S$: I am certain that you don't know these two numbers individually. But I don't know them either.
  • Mr. $P$: Yes, I didn't know. But I know them now.
  • Mr. $S$: If this is the case, I know them now too.

What are the two numbers?
