Two players take turns placing the numbers $1, 2, 3,. . . , 24$, in each of the $24$ squares on the surface of a $2 \times 2 \times 2$ cube (each number can be placed once). The second player wants the sum of the numbers in each cell the rings of $8$ cells encircling the cube were identical. Will he be able to the first player to stop him?

There are $n$ hoops on a circle. Rik numbers all hoops with a natural number so that all numbers from $1$ to $n$ occur exactly once. Then he makes one walk from hoop to hoop. He starts in hoop $1$ and then follows the following rule: if he gets to hoop $k$, then he walks to the hoop that places $k$ clockwise without getting into the intermediate hoops. The walk ends when Rik has to walk to a hoop he has already been to. The length of the walk is the number of hoops he passed on the way. For example, for $n = 6$ Rik can take a walk of length $5$ as the hoops are numbered as shown in the figure.

(b) Determine for every odd $n$ how Rik can number the hoops so that he has one walk of length $n - 1$. (c) Show that for an odd $n$ there is no such numbering of the hoops that Rik can make a walk of length $n$.

The sweeties shop called "Olympiad" sells boxes of $6,9$ or $20$ chocolates. Groups of students from a school that is near the shop collect money to buy a chocolate for each student; to make this they buy a box and than give to everybody a chocolate. Like this students can create groups of $15=6+9$ students, $38=2*9+20$ students, etc. The seller has promised to the students that he can satisfy any group of students, and if he will need to open a new box of chocolate for any group (like groups of $4,7$ or $10$ students) than he will give all the chocolates for free to this group. Can there be constructed the biggest group that profits free chocolates, and if so, how many students are there in this group?
