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 \(y\).
Solve the equation \(xy = x + y\) in integers.
A whole number of litres of water were poured into three vessels. You can only to pour into any vessel the exact amount of water equal to the amount it already contains from any other vessel. Prove that in a few transfusions one can empty one of the vessels. The vessels are large enough: each can hold all the water.
Consider the following sum: \[\frac1{1 \times 2} + \frac1{2 \times 3} + \frac1{3 \times 4} + \dots\] Show that no matter how many terms it has, the sum will never be larger than \(1\).
