Let $n$ be a positive integer such that $n \geq 3$. Consider a grid with size $n \times n$ where each square can be white or black, in the beginning they are all white. In every step we can change the colors of cells forming a shape like below [img] https://imgtr.ee/images/2023/04/04/k0i9m.png [/img] or any of its rotations. Determine all $n$ such that the whole grid can be black after a finite number of steps.

In the country of Graphia there are $100$ towns, each numbered from $1$ to $100$. Some pairs of towns may be connected by a (direct) road and we call such pairs of towns [i]adjacent[/i]. No two roads connect the same pair of towns. Peter, a foreign tourist, plans to visit Graphia $100$ times. For each $i$, $i=1,2,\dots, 100$, Peter starts his $i$-th trip by arriving in the town numbered $i$ and then each following day Peter travels from the town he is currently in to an adjacent town with the lowest assigned number, assuming such that a town exists and that he hasn't visited it already on the $i$-th trip. Otherwise, Peter deems his $i$-th trip to be complete and returns home. It turns out that after all $100$ trips, Peter has visited each town in Graphia the same number of times. Find the largest possible number of roads in Graphia.

On a $10 \times 10$ chessboard, several knights are placed, and in any $2 \times 2$ square there is at least one knight. What is the smallest number of cells these knights can threat? (The knight does not threat the square on which it stands, but it does threat the squares on which other knights are standing.)
