Functions $f$ and $g$ are defined so that $f(1) = 4$, $g(1) = 9$, and for each integer $n \ge 1$, $f(n+1) = 2f(n) + 3g(n) + 2n $ and $g(n+1) = 2g(n) + 3 f(n) + 5$. Find $f(2005) - g(2005)$.

We know that $R^3 = \{(x_1, x_2, x_3) | x_i \in R, i = 1, 2, 3\}$ is a vector space regarding the laws of composition
$(x_1, x_2, x_3) + (y_1, y_2, y_3) = (x_1 + y_1, x_2 + y_2, x_3 + y_3)$, $\lambda (x_1, x_2, x_3) = (\lambda x_1, \lambda x_2, \lambda x_3)$, $\lambda \in R$.
We consider the following subset of $R^3$ : $L =\{(x_1, x2, x_3) \in R^3 | x_1 + x_2 + x_3 = 0\}$.
a) Prove that $L$ is a vector subspace of $R^3$ .
b) In $R^3$ the following relation is defined $\overline{x} R \overline{y} \Leftrightarrow \overline{x} -\overline{y} \in L, \overline{x} , \overline{y} \in R^3$.
Prove that it is an equivalence relation.
c) Find two vectors of $R^3$ that belong to the same class as the vector $(-1, 3, 2)$.

$16$ chess players held a tournament among themselves: every two chess players played exactly one game. For victory in the party was given $1$ point, for a draw $0.5$ points, for defeat $0$ points. It turned out that exactly 15 chess players shared the first place. How many points could the sixteenth chess player score?

A man named Juan has three rectangular solids, each having volume $128$. Two of the faces of one solid have areas $4$ and $32$. Two faces of another solid have areas $64$ and $16$. Finally, two faces of the last solid have areas $8$ and $32$. What is the minimum possible exposed surface area of the tallest tower Juan can construct by stacking his solids one on top of the other, face to face? (Assume that the base of the tower is not exposed.)

Let $n \geq 3$ be a fixed integer. The number $1$ is written $n$ times on a blackboard. Below the blackboard, there are two buckets that are initially empty. A move consists of erasing two of the numbers $a$ and $b$, replacing them with the numbers $1$ and $a+b$, then adding one stone to the first bucket and $\gcd(a, b)$ stones to the second bucket. After some finite number of moves, there are $s$ stones in the first bucket and $t$ stones in the second bucket, where $s$ and $t$ are positive integers. Find all possible values of the ratio $\frac{t}{s}$.

$(NET 4)$ A boy has a set of trains and pieces of railroad track. Each piece is a quarter of circle, and by concatenating these pieces, the boy obtained a closed railway. The railway does not intersect itself. In passing through this railway, the train sometimes goes in the clockwise direction, and sometimes in the opposite direction. Prove that the train passes an even number of times through the pieces in the clockwise direction and an even number of times in the counterclockwise direction. Also, prove that the number of pieces is divisible by $4.$
