The set $\{1, 2, 3, 4\}$ can be partitioned into two subsets $A = \{1, 4\}$ and $B = \{3, 2\}$ with no common elements and such that the sum of the elements of $A$ is equal to the sum of the elements of B. Such a partition is impossible for the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ and also for the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$. Determine all values of $n$ for which the set of the first $n$ natural numbers can be partitioned into two subsets with no common elements such that the sum of the elements of each subset is the same.

Calamitous Clod deceives the math beasts by changing a clock at Beast Academy. First, he removes both the minute and hour hands, then places each of them back in a random position, chosen uniformly along the circle. Professor Grok notices that the clock is not displaying a valid time. That is, the hour and minute hands are pointing in an orientation that a real clock would never display. One such example is the hour hand pointed at $6$ and the minute hand pointed at $3$. [center] [asy] import olympiad; size(4cm); defaultpen(fontsize(8pt)); draw(circle(origin, 4)); dot(origin); for(int i = 1; i <= 12; ++i){ label("$"+string(i)+"$", (3.6*sin(i * pi/6), 3.6*cos(i * pi/6))); } draw(origin -- (3.2, 0), EndArrow(5)); draw(origin -- (0, -2.2), EndArrow(5)); [/asy] [/center] The math beasts can fix this, though. They can turn both hands by the same number of degrees clockwise. On average, what is the minimal number of degrees they must turn the hands so that they display a valid time?

Sir Alex plays the following game on a row of 9 cells. Initially, all cells are empty. In each move, Sir Alex is allowed to perform exactly one of the following two operations: [list=1] [*] Choose any number of the form $2^j$, where $j$ is a non-negative integer, and put it into an empty cell. [*] Choose two (not necessarily adjacent) cells with the same number in them; denote that number by $2^j$. Replace the number in one of the cells with $2^{j+1}$ and erase the number in the other cell. [/list] At the end of the game, one cell contains $2^n$, where $n$ is a given positive integer, while the other cells are empty.
