In the sequence $00, 01, 02, 03,\ldots , 99$ the terms are rearranged so that each term is obtained from the previous one by increasing or decreasing one of its digits by $1$ (for example, $29$ can be followed by $19, 39$, or $28$, but not by $30$ or $20$). What is the maximal number of terms that could remain on their places?

The positive integers $a, b, c$ are such that
$$gcd \,\,\, (a, b, c) = 1,$$
$$gcd \,\,\,(a, b + c) > 1,$$
$$gcd \,\,\,(b, c + a) > 1,$$
$$gcd \,\,\,(c, a + b) > 1.$$
Determine the smallest possible value of $a + b + c$.
Clarification: gcd stands for greatest common divisor.

Suppose a $m \times n$ table. We write an integer in each cell of the table. In each move, we chose a column, a row, or a diagonal (diagonal is the set of cells which the difference between their row number and their column number is constant) and add either $+1$ or $-1$ to all of its cells. Prove that if for all arbitrary $3 \times 3$ table we can change all numbers to zero, then we can change all numbers of $m \times n$ table to zero.
([i]Hint[/i]: First of all think about it how we can change number of $ 3 \times 3$ table to zero.)

There are several counters of various colours and sizes. No two of them have, simultaneously, the same colour and the same size. On each counter $F$ two numbers are written. One of them is the number of counters that have the same colour as $F$ but a different size than $F$. The other number is the number of counters that have the same size as $F$ but a different colour. It is known that each of the $101$ numbers $0,1,\ldots,100$ is written at least once. Determine the smallest number of counters for which this is possible.

Let $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$, $\omega_3$ are three externally tangent circles, with $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ tangent at $A$. Choose points $B$ and $C$ on $\omega_1$ so that lines $AB$ and $AC$ are tangent to $\omega_3$.
