For (1), ponder:
Group-by trick example: Find the most populous city in each state:
SELECT state, city, population, COUNT(*) AS num_cities
FROM
( SELECT state, city, population
FROM us
ORDER BY state, population DESC ) p
GROUP BY state
ORDER BY state;
+-------+-------------+------------+------------+
| state | city | population | num_cities |
+-------+-------------+------------+------------+
| AK | Anchorage | 276263 | 16 |
| AL | Birmingham | 231621 | 58 |
| AR | Little Rock | 184217 | 40 |
| AZ | Phoenix | 1428509 | 51 |
| CA | Los Angeles | 3877129 | 447 |
