Given a board of $3 \times 3$ you want to write the numbers $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8$ and a number in their boxes positive integer $M$, not necessarily different from the above. The goal is that the sum of the three numbers in each row be the same $a)$ Find all the values of $M$ for which this is possible. $b)$ For which of the values of $M$ found in $a)$ is it possible to arrange the numbers so that no only the three rows add the same but also the three columns add the same?

Let $\mathcal E$ be an ellipse with foci $F_1$ and $F_2$. Parabola $\mathcal P$, having vertex $F_1$ and focus $F_2$, intersects $\mathcal E$ at two points $X$ and $Y$. Suppose the tangents to $\mathcal E$ at $X$ and $Y$ intersect on the directrix of $\mathcal P$. Compute the eccentricity of $\mathcal E$. (A [i]parabola[/i] $\mathcal P$ is the set of points which are equidistant from a point, called the [i]focus[/i] of $\mathcal P$, and a line, called the [i]directrix[/i] of $\mathcal P$. An [i]ellipse[/i] $\mathcal E$ is the set of points $P$ such that the sum $PF_1 + PF_2$ is some constant $d$, where $F_1$ and $F_2$ are the [i]foci[/i] of $\mathcal E$. The [i]eccentricity[/i] of $\mathcal E$ is defined to be the ratio $F_1F_2/d$.)
