A triangular array of squares has one square in the first row, two in the second, and in general, $k$ squares in the $k$th row for $1 \leq k \leq 11.$ With the exception of the bottom row, each square rests on two squares in the row immediately below (illustrated in given diagram). In each square of the eleventh row, a $0$ or a $1$ is placed. Numbers are then placed into the other squares, with the entry for each square being the sum of the entries in the two squares below it. For how many initial distributions of $0$'s and $1$'s in the bottom row is the number in the top square a multiple of $3$?

$25$ little donkeys stand in a row; the rightmost of them is Eeyore. Winnie-the-Pooh wants to give a balloon of one of the seven colours of the rainbow to each donkey, so that successive donkeys receive balloons of different colours, and so that at least one balloon of each colour is given to some donkey. Eeyore wants to give to each of the $24$ remaining donkeys a pot of one of six colours of the rainbow (except red), so that at least one pot of each colour is given to some donkey (but successive donkeys can receive pots of the same colour). Which of the two friends has more ways to get his plan implemented, and how many times more? [i]Eeyore is a character in the Winnie-the-Pooh books by A. A. Milne. He is generally depicted as a pessimistic, gloomy, depressed, old grey stuffed donkey, who is a friend of the title character, Winnie-the-Pooh. His name is an onomatopoeic representation of the braying sound made by a normal donkey. Of course, Winnie-the-Pooh is a fictional anthropomorphic bear.[/i] [i]Proposed by F. Petrov[/i]
