(1) Let $a_1,$ $a_2,$ $a_3$ be real numbers such that
|a1a2|+2|a2a3|+3|a3a1|=1.


What is the largest possible value of $|a_1 - a_2|$?

 

(2) Let $a_1,$ $a_2,$ $a_3,$ $\dots,$ $a_{10}$ be real numbers such that
|a1a2|+2|a2a3|+3|a3a4|+4|a4a5|++9|a9a10|+10|a10a1|=1.


What is the largest possible value of $|a_1 - a_6|?$
