[b]p1.[/b] Farmer John wants to bring some cows to a pasture with grass that grows at a constant rate. Initially, the pasture has some nonzero amount of grass and it will stop growing if there is no grass left. The pasture sustains $100$ cows for ten days. The pasture can also sustain $100$ cows for five days, and then $120$ cows for three more days. If cows eat at a constant rate, fund the maximum number of cows Farmer John can bring to the pasture so that they can be sustained indefinitely. [b]p2.[/b] Sam is learning basic arithmetic.

On a table there are several cards, some face up and others face down. The allowed operation is to choose 4 cards and turn them over. The goal is to get all the cards in the same state (all face up or all face down). Determine if the objective can be achieved through a sequence of permitted operations if initially there are: a) 101 cards face up and 102 face down; b) 101 cards face up and 101 face down.
