Written on a blackboard are $n$ nonnegative integers whose greatest common divisor is $1$. A [i]move[/i] consists of erasing two numbers $x$ and $y$, where $x\ge y$, on the blackboard and replacing them with the numbers $x-y$ and $2y$. Determine for which original $n$-tuples of numbers on the blackboard is it possible to reach a point, after some number of moves, where $n-1$ of the numbers of the blackboard are zeroes.

Suppose $ \,G\,$ is a connected graph with $ \,k\,$ edges. Prove that it is possible to label the edges $ 1,2,\ldots ,k\,$ in such a way that at each vertex which belongs to two or more edges, the greatest common divisor of the integers labeling those edges is equal to 1.
