$(GDR 5)$ Given a ring $G$ in the plane bounded by two concentric circles with radii $R$ and $\frac{R}{2}$, prove that we can cover this region with $8$ disks of radius $\frac{2R}{5}$. (A region is covered if each of its points is inside or on the border of some disk.)

Let $n$ points, where there are not $3$ of them on a line, and consider the segments that are formed by connecting any $2$ of the points. There are enough colors available to paint the points and the segments, coloring them with the following two rules: a) All the segments that reach the same point are painted of different colors. b) Each point is painted a different color to all the segments that reach it. Find the minimum number of colors needed to make such a coloring.

The diagonals of a quadrilateral $ ABCD$ are perpendicular: $ AC \perp BD.$ Four squares, $ ABEF,BCGH,CDIJ,DAKL,$ are erected externally on its sides. The intersection points of the pairs of straight lines $ CL, DF, AH, BJ$ are denoted by $ P_1,Q_1,R_1, S_1,$ respectively (left figure), and the intersection points of the pairs of straight lines $ AI, BK, CE DG$ are denoted by $ P_2,Q_2,R_2, S_2,$ respectively (right figure). Prove that $ P_1Q_1R_1S_1 \cong P_2Q_2R_2S_2$ where $ P_1,Q_1,R_1, S_1$ and $ P_2,Q_2,R_2, S_2$ are the two quadrilaterals. [i]Alternative formulation:[/i] Outside a convex quadrilateral $ ABCD$ with perpendicular diagonals, four squares $ AEFB, BGHC, CIJD, DKLA,$ are constructed (vertices are given in counterclockwise order). Prove that the quadrilaterals $ Q_1$ and $ Q_2$ formed by the lines $ AG, BI, CK, DE$ and $ AJ, BL, CF, DH,$ respectively, are congruent.

A collection of 8 cubes consists of one cube with edge-length $k$ for each integer $k,\thinspace 1 \le k \le 8.$ A tower is to be built using all 8 cubes according to the rules: $\bullet$ Any cube may be the bottom cube in the tower. $\bullet$ The cube immediately on top of a cube with edge-length $k$ must have edge-length at most $k+2.$ Let $T$ be the number of different towers than can be constructed. What is the remainder when $T$ is divided by 1000?
