A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

There are $12$ points on a circle. Four checkers, one red, one yellow, one green and one blue sit at neighboring points. In one move any checker can be moved four points to the left or right, onto the fifth point, if it is empty. If after several moves the checkers appear again at the four original points, how might their order have changed?

A kingdom consists of $12$ cities located on a one-way circular road. A magician comes on the $13$th of every month to cast spells. He starts at the city which was the 5th down the road from the one that he started at during the last month (for example, if the cities are numbered $1–12$ clockwise, and the direction of travel is clockwise, and he started at city #$9$ last month, he will start at city #$2$ this month). At each city that he visits, the magician casts a spell if the city is not already under the spell, and then moves on to the next city. If he arrives at a city which is already under the spell, then he removes the spell from this city, and leaves the kingdom until the next month. Last Thanksgiving the capital city was free of the spell. Prove that it will be free of the spell this Thanksgiving as well.
