The shapes in the image consist of six unit cubes. Which of the following 3D objects can be filled up with the aforementioned shapes: a) a cube with side length $3$, from which one edge has been removed (i.e. three layers of the shape [img]https://i.imgur.com/vUqgHS2.png[/img] )? b) a rectangular prism of size $5 \times 4 \times 3$, from which two edges of length $3$ have been removed from one of the $5 \times 3$ sides (i.e. three layers of the shape [img]https://imgur.com/W4pfEfz.png[/img] )? We can use each of shapes at most once, no two shapes can overlap, nor protrude from the 3D object and every unit cube of the 3D object must be covered by a unit cube of one of the constituent shapes.

$(FRA 2)$ Let $n$ be an integer that is not divisible by any square greater than $1.$ Denote by $x_m$ the last digit of the number $x^m$ in the number system with base $n.$ For which integers $x$ is it possible for $x_m$ to be $0$? Prove that the sequence $x_m$ is periodic with period $t$ independent of $x.$ For which $x$ do we have $x_t = 1$. Prove that if $m$ and $x$ are relatively prime, then $0_m, 1_m, . . . , (n-1)_m$ are different numbers. Find the minimal period $t$ in terms of $n$.

Given is a circular bus route with $n\geqslant2$ bus stops. The route can be frequented in both directions. The way between two stops is called [i]section[/i] and one of the bus stops is called [i]Zürich[/i].
