Let $T$ be the set of ordered triples $(x,y,z)$, where $x,y,z$ are integers with $0\leq x,y,z\leq9$. Players $A$ and $B$ play the following guessing game. Player $A$ chooses a triple $(x,y,z)$ in $T$, and Player $B$ has to discover $A$[i]'s[/i] triple in as few moves as possible. A [i]move[/i] consists of the following: $B$ gives $A$ a triple $(a,b,c)$ in $T$, and $A$ replies by giving $B$ the number $\left|x+y-a-b\right |+\left|y+z-b-c\right|+\left|z+x-c-a\right|$. Find the minimum number of moves that $B$ needs to be sure of determining $A$[i]'s[/i] triple.

[b]p1.[/b] Arrange the whole numbers $1$ through $15$ in a row so that the sum of any two adjacent numbers is a perfect square. In how many ways this can be done?
[b]p2.[/b] Prove that if $p$ and $q$ are prime numbers which are greater than $3$ then $p^2 - q^2$ is divisible by $24$.
[b]p3.[/b] If a polyleg has even number of legs he always tells truth. If he has an odd number of legs he always lies.
Once a green polyleg told a dark-blue polyleg ”- I have $8$ legs. And you have only $6$ legs!”
The offended dark-blue polyleg replied ”-It is me who has $8$ legs, and you have only $7$ legs!”
A violet polyleg added ”-The dark-blue polyleg indeed has $8$ legs. But I have $9$ legs!”
Then a stripped polyleg started ”None of you has $8$ legs. Only I have $8$ legs!”
Which polyleg has exactly $8$ legs?
[b][b]p4.[/b][/b] There is a small puncture (a point) in the wall (as shown in the figure below to the right). The housekeeper has a small flag of the following form (see the figure left). Show on the figure all the points of the wall where you can hammer in a nail such that if you hang the flag it will close up the puncture.

Let \( G \) be a graph colored using \( k \) colors. We say that a vertex is [b]forced[/b] if it has neighbors in all the other \( k - 1 \) colors.
Prove that for any \( 2024 \)-regular graph \( G \) that contains no triangles or quadrilaterals, there exists a coloring using \( 2025 \) colors such that at least \( 1013 \) of the colors have a forced vertex of that color.
Note: The graph coloring must be valid, this means no \( 2 \) vertices of the same color may be adjacent.
