We are given a table of size n×n. n1 of the cells in the table contain the number 1. The remainder contain the number 0. We are allowed to carry out the following operation on the table:

1. Pick a cell.

2. Subtract 1 from the number in that cell.

3. Add 1 to every other cell in the same row or column as the chosen cell.

Is it possible, using only this operation, to create a table in which all the cells contain the same number?

On a function f(x) defined on the whole line of real numbers, it is known that for any a>1 the function f(x) + f(ax) is continuous on the whole line. Prove that f(x) is also continuous on the whole line.

We call a number x rational if it can be represented as x=pq for coprime integers p and q. Otherwise we call the number irrational.
Non-zero numbers a and b satisfy the equality a2b2(a2b2+4)=2(a6+b6). Prove that at least one of them is irrational.

Prove that in any set of 117 unique three-digit numbers it is possible to pick 4 non-overlapping subsets, so that the sum of the numbers in each subset is the same.

The real numbers x and y are such that for any distinct prime odd p and q the number xp+yq is rational. Prove that x and y are rational numbers.
