Let $p$ be a prime. We arrange the numbers in ${\{1,2,\ldots ,p^2} \}$ as a $p \times p$ matrix $A = ( a_{ij} )$. Next we can select any row or column and add $1$ to every number in it, or subtract $1$ from every number in it. We call the arrangement [i]good[/i] if we can change every number of the matrix to $0$ in a finite number of such moves. How many good arrangements are there?

On the plane is give a broken line $ABCD$ in which $AB = BC = CD = 1$, and $AD$ is not equal to $1$. The positions of $B$ and $C$ are fixed but $A$ and $D$ change their positions in turn according to the following rule (preserving the distance rules given): the point $A$ is reflected with respect to the line $BD$, then $D$ is reflected with respect to the line $AC$ (in which $A$ occupies its new position), then $A$ is reflected with respect to the line $BD$ ($D$ occupying its new position), $D$ is reflected with respect to the line $AC$, and so on. Prove that after several steps $A$ and $D$ coincide with their initial positions.

The rectangle with vertices $(0,0)$, $(0,3)$, $(2,0)$ and $(2,3)$ is rotated clockwise through a right angle about the point $(2,0)$, then about $(5,0)$, then about $(7,0$), and finally about $(10,0)$. The net effect is to translate it a distance $10$ along the $x$-axis. The point initially at $(1,1)$ traces out a curve. Find the area under this curve (in other words, the area of the region bounded by the curve, the $x$-axis and the lines parallel to the $y$-axis through $(1,0)$ and $(11,0)$).
