Can you cover a \(13 \times 13\) square using two types of blocks: \(2 \times 2\) squares and \(3 \times 3\) squares?

Tim had more hazelnuts than Tom. If Tim gave Tom as many hazelnuts as Tom already had, Tim and Tom would have the same number of hazelnuts. Instead, Tim gave Tom only a few hazelnuts (no more than five) and divided his remaining hazelnuts equally between \(3\) squirrels. How many hazelnuts did Tim give to Tom?

Show that if numbers \(a-b\) and \(c-d\) are divisible by \(11\), then \(ac-bd\) and \(ad - bc\) are also both divisible by \(11\).

For how many pairs of numbers \(x\) and \(y\) between \(1\) and \(100\) is the expression \(x^2 + y^2\) divisible by \(7\)?
