A [i]lattice point[/i] in the plane is a point with integral coordinates. The[i] centroid[/i] of four points $(x_i,y_i )$, $i = 1, 2, 3, 4$, is the point $\left(\frac{x_1 +x_2 +x_3 +x_4}{4},\frac{y_1 +y_2 +y_3 +y_4 }{4}\right)$. Let $n$ be the largest natural number for which there are $n$ distinct lattice points in the plane such that the centroid of any four of them is not a lattice point. Prove that $n = 12$.

Let $ \lambda_i \;(i=1,2,...)$ be a sequence of distinct positive numbers tending to infinity. Consider the set of all numbers representable in the form \[ \mu= \sum_{i=1}^{\infty}n_i\lambda_i ,\] where $ n_i \geq 0$ are integers and all but finitely many $ n_i$ are $ 0$. Let \[ L(x)= \sum _{\lambda_i \leq x} 1 \;\textrm{and}\ \;M(x)= \sum _{\mu \leq x} 1 \ .\] (In the latter sum, each $ \mu$ occurs as many times as its number of representations in the above form.) Prove that if \[ \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{L(x+1)}{L(x)}=1,\] then \[ \lim_{x\rightarrow \infty} \frac{M(x+1)}{M(x)}=1.\] [i]G. Halasz[/i]

A grasshopper rests on the point $(1,1)$ on the plane. Denote by $O,$ the origin of coordinates. From that point, it jumps to a certain lattice point under the condition that, if it jumps from a point $A$ to $B,$ then the area of $\triangle AOB$ is equal to $\frac 12.$ $(a)$ Find all the positive integral poijnts $(m,n)$ which can be covered by the grasshopper after a finite number of steps, starting from $(1,1).$ $(b)$ If a point $(m,n)$ satisfies the above condition, then show that there exists a certain path for the grasshopper to reach $(m,n)$ from $(1,1)$ such that the number of jumps does not exceed $|m-n|.$
