In a city of gnomes there are $1000$ identical towers, each of which has $1000$ stories, with exactly one gnome living on each story. Every gnome in the city wears a hat colored in one of $1000$ possible colors and any two gnomes in the same tower have different hats. A pair of gnomes are friends if they wear hats of the same color, one of them lives in the $k$-th story of his tower and the other one in the $(k+1)$-st story of his tower. Determine the maximal possible number of pairs of gnomes which are friends. [i]Authored by Nikola Velov[/i]

The numbers $1, 2, \ldots 49$ are placed in a $7\times 7$ array, and the sum of the numbers in each row and in each column is computed. Some of these $14$ sums are odd while others are even. Let $A$ denote the sum of all the odd sums and $B$ the sum of all even sums. Is it possible that the numbers were placed in the array in such a way that $A = B$?

Let $m,n$ be positive integers. An $n\times n$ board has rows and columns numbered $1,2,\dots,n$ from left to right and top to bottom, respectively. This board is colored with colors $r_1,r_2,\dots,r_m$ such that the cell at the intersection of $i$th row and $j$th column is colored with $r_{i+j-1}$ where indices are taken modulo $m$. After the board is colored, Ahmet wants to put $n$ stones to the board so that each row and column has exactly one stone, also he wants to put the same amount of stones to each color. Find all pairs $(m,n)$ for which he can accomplish his goal. Proposed by [i]Sena Başaran[/i]
