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, then Tim and Tom would have the same number of hazelnuts. Instead, Tim gave Tom only a few hazelnuts (at most five) and divided his remaining hazelnuts equally between \(3\) squirrels. How many hazelnuts did Tim give to Tom?

We have two rectangles: the first one has sides of length \(a\) and \(c\), and the second rectangle has sides of length \(b\) and \(d\).

Imagine that the difference in their side lengths, i.e: \(a-b\) and \(c-d\) are both divisible by \(11\). Show that the difference in their areas, i.e: \(ac-bd\), is also 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 \(7\)?
