On each cell of a $200 \times 200$ grid, we place a car, which faces in one of the four cardinal directions.In a move, one chooses a car that does not have a car immediately in front of it, and slides it one cellforward. If a move would cause a car to exit the grid, the car is removed instead. The cars are placedso that there exists a sequence of moves that eventually removes all the cars from the grid. Across all
such starting configurations, determine the maximum possible number of moves to do so.

Do either (1) or (2):
(1) Show that any solution $f(t)$ of the functional equation
$$f(x+y)f(x-y)=f(x)^{2} +f(y)^{2} -1$$
for $x,y\in \mathbb{R}$ satisfies
$$f''(t)= \pm c^{2} f(t)$$
for a constant $c$, assuming the existence and continuity of the second derivative.
Deduce that $f(t)$ is one of the functions
$$ \pm \cos ct, \;\;\; \pm \cosh ct.$$
(2) Let $(a_{i})_{i=1,...,n}$ and $(b_{i})_{i=1,...,n}$ be real numbers. Define an $(n+1)\times (n+1)$-matrix $A=(c_{ij})$ by
$$ c_{i1}=1, \; \; c_{1j}= x^{j-1} \; \text{for} \; j\leq n,\; \; c_{1n+1}=p(x), \;\; c_{ij}=a_{i-1}^{j-1} \; \text{for}\; i>1, j\leq n,\;\;
c_{in+1}=b_{i-1}\; \text{for}\; i>1.$$
The polynomial $p(x)$ is defined by the equation $\det A=0$. Let $f$ be a polynomial and replace $(b_{i})$ with $(f(b_{i}))$. Then $\det A=0$ defines another polynomial $q(x)$. Prove that $f(p(x))-q(x)$ is a multiple of
$$\prod_{i=1}^{n} (x-a_{i}).$$

We consider graphs with vertices colored black or white. "Switching" a vertex means: coloring it black if it was formerly white, and coloring it white if it was formerly black.
Consider a finite graph with all vertices colored white. Now, we can do the following operation: Switch a vertex and simultaneously switch all of its neighbours (i. e. all vertices connected to this vertex by an edge). Can we, just by performing this operation several times, obtain a graph with all vertices colored black?
[It is assumed that our graph has no loops (a [i]loop[/i] means an edge connecting one vertex with itself) and no multiple edges (a [i]multiple edge[/i] means a pair of vertices connected by more than one edge).]
