Does a regulatory institution need to be in place to control sports leagues (think about issues such as "deflate gate," concussions, for example)?
Is it fair to charge different sports consumers different prices to see the same game/match? Think about segmented markets, two-part pricing, or quantity discounts, for example. Who benefits? Who loses?

Sushon phones were introduced into the Ghanaian market in December, 2017. Despite the many claims that were made by Trust Electronics, the distributors of the phones, it has become clear that there are quality issues with the equipment.
(b) Describe seven (7) ways by which the manufacturers of the phones can improve
their reliability.
(c) Discuss any four (4) consequences that Trust Electronics may face if they fail to improve the quality of their phones.

a). Write a program that asks the user to enter an integer N and prints two integers, root and power, such that 1 < power < 6 and N = root ** power. If no such pair of integers exists, it should print a message to that effect. There are two loops, one for power and one for root. Order the loops so that if N = 64, then your program find that N = 8 ** 2 rather than N = 4 ** 3. That is, order the loops so that the lowest power is found.
b). order the loops so that the lowest root is found. For the example given in a) , where N = 64, your program will find N = 4 ** 3, rather than 8 ** 2.
c) read an integer N from the user, and read a phrase from the user. Print the phrase N times, each time on a different line.
d) Ask the user to input 10 integers, and then the program prints the largest odd number that was entered. For example of the integers were: 10, 9, 7, 12, 2, 5, 15, 100, 90, 60, then the program would print 15 as the largest odd number. If there is no odd number, then the program should print a message to that effect.
it should be Python, and the question was asked to be solved by "Finger exercise".

A fireworks rocket is launched vertically upward at 40
m/s.
At the peak of its trajectory, it explodes into two equal-mass
fragments. One reaches the ground t1 = 2.63s
after the explosion. When does the second fragment reach the
ground?
