For how many pairs of numbers \(x\) and \(y\) between \(1\) and \(100\) is the expression \(x^2 + y^2\) divisible by \(7\)?
Seven robbers are dividing a bag of coins of various denominations. It turned out that the sum could not be divided equally between them, but if any coin is set aside, the rest could be divided so that every robber would get an equal part. Prove that the bag cannot contain \(100\) coins.
Show that the equation \(x^2 +6x-1 = y^2\) has no solutions in integer \(x\) and \(y\).
Can there exist two functions \(f\) and \(g\) that take only integer values such that for any integer \(x\) the following relations hold:
a) \(f (f (x)) = x\), \(g (g (x)) = x\), \(f (g (x)) > x\), \(g (f (x)) > x\)?
b) \(f (f (x)) < x\), \(g (g (x)) < x\), \(f (g (x)) > x\), \(g (f (x)) > x\)?
The surface of a \(3\times 3\times 3\) Rubik’s Cube contains 54 squares. What is the maximum number of squares we can mark, so that no marked squares share a vertex or are directly adjacent to another marked square?
The student did not notice the multiplication sign between two three-digit numbers and wrote one six-digit number, which turned out to be seven times bigger than their product. Determine these numbers.
The student did not notice the multiplication sign between two seven-digit numbers and wrote one fourteen-digit number, which turned out to be three times bigger than their product. Determine these numbers.
Each of the 1994 deputies in parliament slapped exactly one of his colleagues. Prove that it is possible to draw up a parliamentary commission of 665 people whose members did not clarify the relationship between themselves in the manner indicated above.
A cherry which is a ball of radius r is dropped into a round glass whose axial section is the graph of the function \(y = x^4\). At what maximum r will the ball touch the most bottom point of the bottom of the glass? (In other words, what is the maximum radius r of a circle lying in the region \(y \geq x^4\) and containing the origin?).
Cut the interval \([-1, 1]\) into black and white segments so that the integrals of any a) linear function; b) a square trinomial in white and black segments are equal.
