Inside acute $\angle{XOY},$ points $M$ and $N$ are taken so that $\angle{XON}=\angle{YOM}$. Point $Q$ is taken on segment $OX$ such that $\angle{NQO}=\angle{MQX}.$ Point $P$ is taken such that $\angle{NPO}=\angle{MPY}.$ Prove the lengths of the broken lines $MPN$ and $MQN$ are equal.

To get to the Stromboli Volcano from the observatory, one has to take a road and a passway, each taking $4$ hours. There are two craters on the top. The first crater erupts for $1$ hour, stays silent for $17$ hours, then repeats the cycle. The second crater erupts for $1$ hour, stays silent for $9$ hours, erupts for $1$ hour, stays silent for $17$ hours, and then repeats the cycle. During the eruption of the first crater, it is dangerous to take both the passway and the road, but the second crater is smaller, so it is still safe to take the road. At noon, scout Vanya saw both craters erupting simultaneously. Will it ever be possible for him to mount the top of the volcano without risking his life?

A banker learned that among similarly looking golden coins, exactly one is counterfeit and has less weight.
The banker asked an expert to determine the coin by means of a balance, and demanded each coin should participate in no more than two weightings in order to not wear out the coin, thereby losing market value. What is the largest number of coins the banker could have had, given that the expert successfully completed his task?

Some figures stand in certain cells of a chess board. It is known that a figure stands on each row, and that different rows have a different number of figures. Prove that it is possible to mark $8$ figures so that on each row and column stands exactly one marked figure.

Prove that there exists a positive non-prime integer such that if any three of its neighboring digits are replaced with any given triple of the digits, the number remains non-prime. Does there exist a $1997$-digit such number?
