Let $n=2k-1$, where $k\ge 6$ is an integer. Let $T$ be the set of all $n$-tuples $$\textbf{x}=(x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_n), \text{ where, for } i=1,2,\dots ,n, \text{ } x_i \text{ is } 0 \text{ or } 1.$$ For $\textbf{x}=(x_1,x_2,\dots ,x_n)$ and $\textbf{y}=(y_1,y_2,\dots ,y_n)$ in $T$, let $d(\textbf{x},\textbf{y})$ denote the number of integers $j$ with $1\le j\le n$ such that $x_j\neq x_y$. $($In particular, $d(\textbf{x},\textbf{x})=0)$.

Each two-digit natural number is [i]assigned [/i] a digit as follows: Its digits are multiplied. If the result is a digit, this is the assigned digit. If the result is a two-digit number, these two figures are multiplied, and if the result is a digit, this is the assigned digit. Otherwise, the operation is repeated. For example, the digit assigned to $32$ is $6$ since $3 \times = 6$; the digit assigned to $93$ is $4$ since $9 \times 3 = 27$, $2 \times 7 = 14$, $1 \times 4 = 4$. Find all the two-digit numbers that are assigned $8$.

A banker learned that among similarly looking golden coins, exactly one is counterfeit and has less weight. The banker asked an expert to determine the coin by means of a balance, and demanded each coin should participate in no more than two weightings in order to not wear out the coin, thereby losing market value. What is the largest number of coins the banker could have had, given that the expert successfully completed his task?

There are $n$ children around a round table. Erika is the oldest among them and she has $n$ candies, while no other child has any candy. Erika decided to distribute the candies according to the following rules. In every round, she chooses a child with at least two candies and the chosen child sends a candy to each of his/her two neighbors. (So in the first round Erika must choose herself). For which $n \ge 3$ is it possible to end the distribution after a finite number of rounds with every child having exactly one candy?
