For each positive integer n, the number $R(n) = 11 ... 1$ is defined, which is made up of exactly $n$ digits equal to $1$. For example, $R(5) = 11111$. Let $n > 4$ be an integer for which, by writing all the positive divisors of $R(n)$, it is true that each written digit belongs to the set $\{0, 1\}$. Show that $n$ is a power of an odd prime number. Clarification: A power of an odd prime number is a number of the form $p^a$, where $p$ is an odd prime number and $a$ is a positive integer.

[b]p3.[/b] Bames Jond is sent to spy on James Pond. One day, Bames sees James type in his $4$-digit phone password. Bames remembers that James used the digits $0$, $5$, and $9$, and no other digits, but he does not remember the order. How many possible phone passwords satisfy this condition? [b]p4.[/b] What do you get if you square the answer to this question, add $256$ to it, and then divide by $32$? [b]p5.[/b] Chloe the Horse and Flower the Chicken are best friends. When Chloe gets sad for any reason, she calls Flower, so Chloe must remember Flower's $3$ digit phone number, which can consist of any digits $0-5$.

As a result, Mr. Noeth decides that he will have to visit their houses to deliver the makeup tests. Conveniently, the $17$ absent students in his class live in consecutive houses on the same street. Mr. Noeth chooses at least three of every four people in consecutive houses to take a makeup. How many ways can Mr. Noeth select students to take makeups? PS. You should use hide for answers.
