We attach to the vertices of a regular hexagon the numbers $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$. Now, we are allowed to transform the numbers by the following rules: (a) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at two opposite vertices. (b) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at three vertices forming an equilateral triangle. (c) We can subtract an integer $t$ from one of the six numbers and simultaneously add $t$ to the two neighbouring numbers. Can we, just by acting several times according to these rules, get a cyclic permutation of the initial numbers? (I. e., we started with $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$; can we now get $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$ ?)

[b]p1[/b]. Your Halloween took a bad turn, and you are trapped on a small rock above a sea of lava. You are on rock $1$, and rocks $2$ through $12$ are arranged in a straight line in front of you. You want to get to rock $12$. You must jump from rock to rock, and you can either (1) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 1$ or (2) jump from rock $n$ to $n + 2$. Unfortunately, you are weak from eating too much candy, and you cannot do (2) twice in a row. How many different sequences of jumps will take you to your destination?
