2025 All-Russian Olympiad, 11.3

A pair of polynomials \(F(x, y)\) and \(G(x, y)\) with integer coefficients is called $\emph{important}$ if from the divisibility of both differences \(F(a, b) - F(c, d)\) and \(G(a, b) - G(c, d)\) by $100$, it follows that both \(a - c\) and \(b - d\) are divisible by 100. Does there exist such an important pair of polynomials \(P(x, y)\), \(Q(x, y)\), such that the pair \(P(x, y) - xy\) and \(Q(x, y) + xy\) is also important?
