For a positive integer $N>1$ with unique factorization $N=p_1^{\alpha_1}p_2^{\alpha_2}\dotsb p_k^{\alpha_k}$, we define \[\Omega(N)=\alpha_1+\alpha_2+\dotsb+\alpha_k.\] Let $a_1,a_2,\dotsc, a_n$ be positive integers and $p(x)=(x+a_1)(x+a_2)\dotsb (x+a_n)$ such that for all positive integers $k$, $\Omega(P(k))$ is even.

Points $A_1, A_2,\ldots, A_n$ are found on a circle in this order. Each point $A_i$ has exactly $i$ coins. A move consists in taking two coins from two points (may be the same point) and moving them to adjacent points (one move clockwise and another counter-clockwise). Find all possible values of $n$ for which it is possible after a finite number of moves to obtain a configuration with each point $A_i$ having $n+1-i$ coins.

There are $1001$ stacks of coins $S_1, S_2, \dots, S_{1001}$. Initially, stack $S_k$ has $k$ coins for each $k = 1,2,\dots,1001$. In an operation, one selects an ordered pair $(i,j)$ of indices $i$ and $j$ satisfying $1 \le i < j \le 1001$ subject to two conditions: [list] [*]The stacks $S_i$ and $S_j$ must each have at least $1$ coin. [*]The ordered pair $(i,j)$ must [i]not[/i] have been selected before. [/list] Then, if $S_i$ and $S_j$ have $a$ coins and $b$ coins respectively, one removes $\gcd(a,b)$ coins from each stack. What is the maximum number of times this operation could be performed? [i]Galin Totev[/i]
