Consider a flat field on which there exist a valley in the form of an infinite strip with arbitrary width $\omega$. There exist a polyhedron of diameter $d$(Diameter in a polyhedron is the maximum distance from the points on the polyhedron) is in one side and a pit of diameter $d$ on the other side of the valley. We want to roll the polyhedron and put it into the pit such that the polyhedron and the field always meet each other in one point at least while rolling (If the polyhedron and the field meet each other in one point at least then the polyhedron would not fall into the valley). For crossing over the bridge, we have built a rectangular bridge with a width of $\frac{d}{10}$ over the bridge. Prove that we can always put the polyhedron into the pit considering the mentioned conditions.
(You will earn a good score if you prove the decision for $\omega = 0$).

A stone is placed in a square of a chessboard with $n$ rows and $n$ columns. We can alternately undertake two operations:
[b](a)[/b] move the stone to a square that shares a common side with the square in which it stands;
[b](b)[/b] move it to a square sharing only one common vertex with the square in which it stands.
In addition, we are required that the first step must be [b](b)[/b]. Find all integers $n$ such that the stone can go through a certain path visiting every square exactly once.

$4.$ On a table there are notes of values: $1$, $2$, $5$, $10$, $20$ ,$50$, $100$, $200$, $500$, $1000$, $2000$ and $5000$ (the number of any of these notes can be any non-negative integer). Two players , First and Second play a game in turns (First plays first). With one move a player can take any one note of value higher than $1$ , and replace it with notes of less value. The value of the chosen note is equal to the sum of the values of the replaced notes. The loser is the player which can not play any more moves. Which player has the winning strategy?

Prove that there is a set $L$ of $50$ distinct positive integers less than or equal to $100$, such that for each number $x$ of $L$ the number that Leandro assigned to the set of $49$ numbers $L-\{ x\}$ is different from $x$.
Clarification: $L-\{x\}$ denotes the set that results from removing the number $x$ from $L$.
