Let $n \geq2$ be an integer number and $D_n$ the set of all the points $(x,y)$ in the plane such that its coordinates are integer numbers with: $-n \le x \le n$ and $-n \le y \le n$.
(a) There are three possible colors in which the points of $D_n$ are painted with (each point has a unique color). Show that with
any distribution of the colors, there are always two points of $D_n$ with the same color such that the line that contains them does not go through any other point of $D_n$.
(b) Find a way to paint the points of $D_n$ with 4 colors such that if a line contains exactly two points of $D_n$, then, this points have different colors.

Let $ a$, $ b$ and $ k$ be three positive integers.
We define two sequences $ \left( a_{n}\right)$ and $ \left( b_{n}\right)$ by the starting values $ a_{1}\equal{}a$ and $ b_{1}\equal{}b$ and the recurrent equations $ a_{n\plus{}1}\equal{}ka_{n}\plus{}b_{n}$ and $ b_{n\plus{}1}\equal{}kb_{n}\plus{}a_{n}$ for each positive integer $ n$.
Prove that if $ a_{1}\perp b_{1}$, $ a_{2}\perp b_{2}$ and $ a_{3}\perp b_{3}$ hold, then $ a_{n}\perp b_{n}$ holds for every positive integer $ n$.
Here, the abbreviation $ x\perp y$ stands for "the numbers $ x$ and $ y$ are coprime".

Professor David proposed to his wife to calculate the steps of an escalator that worked in a shopping mall, asking him to walk up counting the steps that rise from the bottom to the end. The teacher, in turn, left with his wife, but walking the twice as fast, so that the woman advanced one step each time her husband advanced $2$. When The lady arrived at the top reported that she had counted $21$ steps, while the teacher counted $28$ of them. How many steps are there in sight on the ladder at any given time?
[hide=original wording]El profesor David propuso a su senora calcular los escalones de una escalera mecanica que funcionaba en un centro comercial, pidiendole que caminara hacia arriba contando los escalones que subiera desde la base hasta el final. El profesor a su vez, partio junto a su senora, pero caminando el doble de rapido, de modo que la senora avanzaba un escalon cada vez que su marido avanzaba 2. Cuando la senora llego arriba informo que habıa contado 21 escalones, mientras que el profesor conto 28 de ellos, ¿Cuantos escalones hay a la vista en la escalera en un instante cualquiera?[/hide]
