After the Mad Tea-Party, the Hatter was so excited that he decided to cool down by going on a short walk across the chessboard. He started at position a1, then walked around in steps taking each step as if he was a knight, and eventually returned back to a1. Show that he made an even number of steps.
Is it possible that odd integers \(a\), \(b\), \(c\), \(d\) satisfy \(\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}+\frac{1}{c}+\frac{1}{d}=1\)?
The Cheshire Cat wrote one of the numbers \(1, 2,\dots, 15\) into each box of a \(15\times15\) square table in such a way, that boxes which are symmetric to the main diagonal contain equal numbers. Every row and column consists of 15 different numbers. Show that no two numbers along the main diagonal are the same.
