For every $3$-digit natural number $n$ (leading digit of $n$ is nonzero), we consider the number $n_0$ obtained from $n$ eliminating all possible digits that are zero. For example, if $n = 207$, then $n_0 = 27$. Determine the number of three-digit positive integers $n$, for which $n_0$ is a divisor of $n$ different from $n$.

A soccer team has 22 available players. A fixed set of 11 players starts the game, while the other 11 are available as substitutes. During the game, the coach may make as many as 3 substitutions, where any one of the 11 players in the game is replaced by one of the substitutes. No player removed from the game may reenter the game, although a substitute entering the game may be replaced later. No two substitutions can happen at the same time. The players involved and the order of the substitutions matter. Let $n$ be the number of ways the coach can make substitutions during the game (including the possibility of making no substitutions). Find the remainder when $n$ is divided by 1000.

Let $AB$ and $AC$ intersect $\Gamma$ at $P$ and $Q$ respectively. Let $M$ and $N$ be points on line $BC$ such that $B$ is the midpoint of $DM$ and $C$ is the midpoint of $DN$.
