For a positive integer $p$, define the positive integer $n$ to be $p$-safe if $n$ differs in absolute value by more than $2$ from all multiples of $p$. For example, the set of $10$-safe numbers is $\{3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17,23, \ldots \}$. Find the number of positive integers less than or equal to $10,000$ which are simultaneously $7$-safe, $11$-safe, and $13$-safe.·

The figures $ F_1$, $ F_2$, $ F_3$, and $ F_4$ shown are the first in a sequence of figures. For $ n\ge3$, $ F_n$ is constructed from $ F_{n \minus{} 1}$ by surrounding it with a square and placing one more diamond on each side of the new square than $ F_{n \minus{} 1}$ had on each side of its outside square. For example, figure $ F_3$ has $ 13$ diamonds. How many diamonds are there in figure $ F_{20}$?

An even number of circles are nested, starting with a radius of $1$ and increasing by $1$ each time, all sharing a common point. The region between every other circle is shaded, starting with the region inside the circle of radius $2$ but outside the circle of radius $1.$ An example showing $8$ circles is displayed below. What is the least number of circles needed to make the total shaded area at least $2023\pi$?
