An integer $n\geq 3$ is [i]poli-pythagorean[/i] if there exist $n$ positive integers pairwise distinct such that we can order these numbers in the vertices of a regular $n$-gon such that the sum of the squares of consecutive vertices is also a perfect square. For instance, $3$ is poli-pythagorean, because if we write $44,117,240$ in the vertices of a triangle we notice: $$44^2+117^2=125^2, 117^2+240^2=267^2, 240^2+44^2=244^2$$ Determine all poli-pythagorean integers.

Rein solved a test on mathematics that consisted of questions on algebra, geometry and logic. After checking the results, it occurred that Rein had answered correctly $50\%$ of questions on algebra, $70\%$ of questions on geometry and $80\%$ of questions on logic. Thereby, Rein had answered correctly altogether $62\%$ of questions on algebra and logic, and altogether $74\%$ of questions on geometry and logic. What was the percentage of correctly answered questions throughout all the test by Rein?

Every minute, he chooses a character in the string and: [list] [*] if it's an `a' he can replace it with `ac' or `da', [*] if it's a `b' he can replace it with `cb' or `bd', [*] if it's a `c' he can replace it with `cc' or `ba', [*] if it's a `d' he can replace it with `dd' or `ab'.

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$. Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.
