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.

Two players take turns placing an unused number from

right. The game ends once all the squares are filled. The first player
wins if the product of the numbers in the top row is greater. The second
