The figure obtained by removing one small unit square from the $2\times 2$ grid table is called an $L$ ''shape". .Put $k$ L-shapes in an $8\times 8$ grid table. Each $L$-shape can be rotated, but each $L$ shape is required to cover exactly three small unit squares in the grid table, and the common area covered by any two $L$ shapes is $0$, and except for these $k$ $L$ shapes, no other $L$ shapes can be placed. Find the minimum value of $k$.

A circle is divided into arcs of equal size by $n$ points ($n \ge 1$). For any positive integer $x$, let $P_n(x)$ denote the number of possibilities for colouring all those points, using colours from $x$ given colours, so that any rotation of the colouring by $ i \cdot \frac{360^o}{n}$ , where i is a positive integer less than $n$, gives a colouring that differs from the original in at least one point. Prove that the function $P_n(x)$ is a polynomial with respect to $x$.

Given a prime number $p>5$. It is known that the length of the smallest period of the fraction $1/p$ is a multiple of three. This period (including possible leading zeros) was written on a strip of paper and cut into three equal-length parts $a$, $b$, $c$ (they may also have leading zeros). What could be the sum of the three periodic fractions: $0.(a)$, $0.(b)$, and $0.(c)$? [i]Proposed by A. Khrabrov[/i]

Scientists perform an experiment on a colony of bacteria with an initial population of $32$. The scientists expose the bacteria to alternating rounds of light and darkness. They first put the bacteria in a bright environment for one hour before placing it in a dark room for the second hour, and then repeating this process. Because they are vulnerable to light, the population of the bacteria will be halved in one hour of exposure to sunlight. However, in one hour of darkness, the population triples. How many hours will it take for the bacteria’s population to exceed $150$? $\textbf{(A) }\text{between }4\text{ and }5\qquad\textbf{(B) }\text{between }5\text{ and }6\qquad\textbf{(C) }\text{between }6\text{ and }7\qquad\textbf{(D) }\text{between }7\text{ and }8\qquad\textbf{(E) }\text{between }8\text{ and }9$

A [i]triangulation[/i] $ \mathcal{T}$ of a polygon $ P$ is a finite collection of triangles whose union is $ P,$ and such that the intersection of any two triangles is either empty, or a shared vertex, or a shared side. Moreover, each side of $ P$ is a side of exactly one triangle in $ \mathcal{T}.$ Say that $ \mathcal{T}$ is [i]admissible[/i] if every internal vertex is shared by $ 6$ or more triangles. For example [asy] size(100); dot(dir(-100)^^dir(230)^^dir(160)^^dir(100)^^dir(50)^^dir(5)^^dir(-55)); draw(dir(-100)--dir(230)--dir(160)--dir(100)--dir(50)--dir(5)--dir(-55)--cycle); pair A = (0,-0.25); dot(A); draw(A--dir(-100)^^A--dir(230)^^A--dir(160)^^A--dir(100)^^A--dir(5)^^A--dir(-55)^^dir(5)--dir(100)); [/asy] Prove that there is an integer $ M_n,$ depending only on $ n,$ such that any admissible triangulation of a polygon $ P$ with $ n$ sides has at most $ M_n$ triangles.
