In the training of a state, the coach proposes a game. The coach writes four real numbers on the board in order from least to greatest: $a < b < c < d$. Each Olympian draws the figure on the right in her notebook and arranges the numbers inside the corner shapes, however she wants, putting a number on each one. Once arranged, on each segment write the square of the difference of the numbers at its ends. Then, add the $4$ numbers obtained.

Serge and Tanya want to show Masha a magic trick. Serge leaves the room. Masha writes down a sequence $(a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_n)$, where all $a_k$ equal $0$ or $1$. After that Tanya writes down a sequence $(b_1, b_2, \ldots , b_n)$, where all $b_k$ also equal $0$ or $1$. Then Masha either does nothing or says “Mutabor” and replaces both sequences: her own sequence by $(a_n, a_{n-1}, \ldots , a_1)$, and Tanya’s sequence by $(1 - b_n, 1 - b_{n-1}, \ldots , 1 - b_1)$. Masha’s sequence is covered by a napkin, and Serge is invited to the room. Serge should look at Tanya’s sequence and tell the sequence covered by the napkin. For what $n$ Serge and Tanya can prepare and show such a trick? Serge does not have to determine whether the word “Mutabor” has been pronounced.

Alice and Bob are independently trying to figure out a secret password to Cathy’s bitcoin wallet. Both of them have already figured out that: $\bullet$ it is a $4$-digit number whose first digit is $5$. $\bullet$ it is a multiple of $9$; $\bullet$ The larger number is more likely to be a password than a smaller number. Moreover, Alice figured out the second and the third digits of the password and Bob figured out the third and the fourth digits. They told this information to each other but not actual digits. After that the conversation followed: Alice: ”I have no idea what the number is.” Bob: ”I have no idea too.” After that both of them knew which number they should try first. Identify this number

The distance between towns $A$ and $B$ is $999$ km. At every kilometer of the road that connects $A$ and $B$ a sign shows the distances to $A$ and $B$ as follows: $\fbox{0-999}$ , $\fbox{1-998}$ ,$\fbox{2-997}$ , $ . . . $ , $\fbox{998-1}$ , $\fbox{999-0}$ How many signs are there, with both distances written with the help of only two distinct digits?
