For some positive integers $m,n$, the system $x+y^2 = m$ and $x^2+y = n$ has exactly one integral solution $(x,y)$. Determine all possible values of $m-n$.

There are two round tables with $n{}$ dwarves sitting at each table. Each dwarf has only two friends: his neighbours to the left and to the right. A good wizard wants to seat the dwarves at one round table so that each two neighbours are friends. His magic allows him to make any $2n$ pairs of dwarves into pairs of friends (the dwarves in a pair may be from the same or from different tables). However, he knows that an evil sorcerer will break $n{}$ of those new friendships. For which $n{}$ is the good wizard able to achieve his goal no matter what the evil sorcerer does?

The triangle $ \triangle SFA$ has a right angle at $ F$.

[b]p23.[/b] Bessie is playing a game. She labels a square with vertices labeled $A, B, C, D$ in clockwise order. There are $7$ possible moves: she can rotate her square $90$ degrees about the center, $180$ degrees about the center, $270$ degrees about the center; or she can flip across diagonal $AC$, flip across diagonal $BD$, flip the square horizontally (flip the square so that vertices A and B are switched and vertices $C$ and $D$ are switched), or flip the square vertically (vertices $B$ and $C$ are switched, vertices $A$ and $D$ are switched). In how many ways can Bessie arrive back at the original square for the first time in $3$ moves?

There are seven rods erected at the vertices of a regular heptagonal area. The top of each rod is connected to the top of its second neighbor by a straight piece of wire so that, looking from above, one sees each wire crossing exactly two others. Is it possible to set the respective heights of the rods in such a way that no four tops of the rods are coplanar and each wire passes one of the crossings from above and the other one from below?
