Lori makes a list of all the numbers between $1$ and $999$ inclusive. She first colors all the multiples of $5$ red. Then she colors blue every number which is adjacent to a red number. How many numbers in her list are left uncolored? $\mathrm{(A) \ } 400 \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ } 402 \qquad \mathrm {(C) \ } 597 \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ } 600 \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ } 602$

Samuel Tsui and Jason Yang each chose a different integer between $1$ and $60$, inclusive. They don’t know each others’ numbers, but they both know that the other person’s number is between $1$ and $60$ and distinct from their own. They have the following conversation: Samuel Tsui: Do our numbers have any common factors greater than $1$? Jason Yang: Definitely not. However their least common multiple must be less than$ 2023$. Samuel Tsui: Ok, thismeans that the sumof the factors of our two numbers are equal. What is the sumof Samuel Tsui’s and Jason Yang’s numbers? [i]Proposed by Samuel Tsui[/i]

Each person stands on a whole number on the number line from $0$ to $2022$ . In each turn, two people are selected by a distance of at least $2$. These go towards each other by $1$. When no more such moves are possible, the process ends. Show that this process always ends after a finite number of moves, and determine all possible configurations where people can end up standing. (whereby is for each configuration is only of interest how many people stand at each number.) [i](Birgit Vera Schmidt)[/i] [hide=original wording]Bei jeder ganzen Zahl auf dem Zahlenstrahl von 0 bis 2022 steht zu Beginn eine Person. In jedem Zug werden zwei Personen mit Abstand mindestens 2 ausgewählt. Diese gehen jeweils um 1 aufeinander zu. Wenn kein solcher Zug mehr möglich ist, endet der Vorgang. Man zeige, dass dieser Vorgang immer nach endlich vielen Zügen endet, und bestimme alle möglichen Konfigurationen, wo die Personen am Ende stehen können. (Dabei ist für jede Konfiguration nur von Interesse, wie viele Personen bei jeder Zahl stehen.)[/hide]

A group of $25$ friends were discussing a large positive integer. "It can be divided by $1$," said the first friend. "It can be divided by $2$," said the second friend. "And by $3$," said the third friend. "And by $4$," added the fourth friend. This continued until everyone had made such a comment. If exactly $2$ friends were incorrect, and those two friends said consecutive numbers, what was the least possible integer they were discussing?
