Let $n \geq 3$ be an odd number and suppose that each square in a $n \times n$ chessboard is colored either black or white. Two squares are considered adjacent if they are of the same color and share a common vertex and two squares $a,b$ are considered connected if there exists a sequence of squares $c_1,\ldots,c_k$ with $c_1 = a, c_k = b$ such that $c_i, c_{i+1}$ are adjacent for $i=1,2,\ldots,k-1$.

There are five cities $A,B,C,D,E$ on a certain island. Each city is connected to every other city by road. In how many ways can a person starting from city $A$ come back to $A$ after visiting some cities without visiting a city more than once and without taking the same road more than once? (The order in which he visits the cities also matters: e.g., the routes $A \to B \to C \to A$ and $A\to C \to B \to A$ are different.)
2024 Euler Olympiad, Round 1, 7
Anna took a number \(N\), which is written in base 10 and has fewer than 9 digits, and duplicated it by writing another \(N\) to its left, creating a new number with twice as many digits. Bob computed the sum of all integers from 1 to \(N\). It turned out that Anna's new number is 7 times as large as the sum computed by Bob. Determine \(N\).
