The plane is divided by three infinite sets of parallel lines into equilateral triangles of equal area. Let $M$ be the set of their vertices, and $A$ and $B$ be two vertices of such an equilateral triangle. One may rotate the plane through $120^o$ around any vertex of the set $M$. Is it possible to move the point $A$ to the point $B$ by a number of such rotations (N Vasiliev, Moscow)

Given a number, we calculate its square and add $1$ to the sum of the digits in this square, obtaining a new number. If we start with the number $7$ we will obtain, in the first step, the number $1+(4+9)=14$, since $7^2 = 49$. What number will we obtain in the $1999$th step?

Consider two mirrors placed at a right angle to each other and two points A at $ (x,y)$ and B at $ (a,b)$. Suppose a person standing at point A shines a laser pointer so that it hits both mirrors and then hits a person standing at point B (as shown in the picture). What is the total distance that the light ray travels, in terms of $ a$, $ b$, $ x$, and $ y$? Assume that $ x$, $ y$, $ a$, and $ b$ are positive.
