After multiplying out and simplifying polynomial $ (x \minus{} 1)(x^2 \minus{} 1)(x^3 \minus{} 1)\cdots(x^{2007} \minus{} 1),$ getting rid of all terms whose powers are greater than $ 2007,$ we acquire a new polynomial $ f(x).$ Find its degree and the coefficient of the term having the highest power. Find the degree of $ f(x) \equal{} (1 \minus{} x)(1 \minus{} x^{2})...(1 \minus{} x^{2007})$ $ (mod$ $ x^{2008}).$
A group of $6$ friends sit in the back row of an otherwise empty movie theater. Each row in the theater contains $8$ seats. Euler and Gauss are best friends, so they must sit next to each other, with no empty seat between them. However, Lagrange called them names at lunch, so he cannot sit in an adjacent seat to either Euler or Gauss. In how many different ways can the $6$ friends be seated in the back row?

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral such that the triangles $BCD$ and $CDA$ are not equilateral.

On a river with a current speed of \(3 \, \text{km/h}\), there are two harbors. Every Saturday, a cruise ship departs from Harbor 1 to Harbor 2, stays overnight, and returns to Harbor 1 on Sunday. On the ship live two snails, Romeo and Juliet. One Saturday, immediately after the ship departs, both snails start moving to meet each other and do so exactly when the ship arrives at Harbor 2. On the following Sunday, as the ship departs from Harbor 2, Romeo starts moving towards Juliet's house and reaches there exactly when the ship arrives back at Harbor 1. Given that Juliet moves half as fast as Romeo, determine the speed of the ship in still water.

Three numbers are initially written on the board: 2023, 2024, and 2025. In each move, you can increase any two of these numbers by 1 and decrease the third one by 2.
a) Determine whether it is possible to perform a sequence of operations such that the board eventually contains two numbers that are equal.
b) Calculate the number of all possible ordered triples of positive integers that can be obtained by performing such operations some number of times.
