A magician and his assistant are performing the following trick. There is a row of $13$ empty closed boxes. The magician leaves the room, and a person from the audience hides a coin in each of two boxes of his choice, so that the assistant knows which boxes contain coins. The magician returns and the assistant is allowed to open one box that does not contain a coin. Next, the magician selects four boxes, which are then simultaneously opened. The goal of the magician is to open both boxes that contain coins. Devise a method that will allow the magician and his assistant to always successfully perform the trick.

[b]1.3.[/b] Bill has a farm with deer, sheep, and apple trees. He mostly enjoys looking after his apple trees, but somehow, the deer and sheep always want to eat the trees' leaves, so Bill decides to build a fence around his trees. The $60$ trees are arranged in a $5\times 12$ rectangular array with $5$ feet between each pair of adjacent trees. If the rectangular fence is constructed $6$ feet away from the array of trees, what is the area the fence encompasses in feet squared? (Ignore the width of the trees.)

The teacher wrote on the board the quadratic polyomial $x^2+10x+20$. Then in turn, each of the students came to the board and increased or decreased by $1$ either the coefficient at $x$ or the constant term, but not both at once. As a result, the quadratic polyomial $x^2 + 20x +10$ appeared on the board. Is it true that at some point a quadratic polyomial with integer roots appeared on the board?
