Suppose there are n people in a group, each aware of a scandal no one else in the group knows about. These people communicate by telephone; when two people in the group talk, they share information about all scandals each knows about.

Which of these collections of subsets are partitions of the set of integers? Explain your answer. The set of even integers and the set of odd intergers. The set of positive integers and the set of negative integers. The set of integers divisible by 3, the set of integers leaving a remainder of 1 when divided by 3, and the set of integers leaving a remainder of 2 when divided by 3. The set of integers less than -100, the set of integers with absolute value not exceeding 100, and the set of integers greater than 100. The set of integers not divisible by 3, then set of even integers, and the set of integers that leave a remainder of 3 when divided by 6.
Seven thieves try to share a hoard of gold bars equally between themselves. Unfortunately, six bars are left over, and in the fight over them, one thief is killed. The remaining six thieves, still unable to share the bars equally since two are left over, again fight, and another is killed. When the remaining five share the bars, one bar is left over, and it is only after yet another thief is killed that an equal sharing is possible. What is the minimum number of bars which allows this to happen?
