A lattice point in the plane is a point both of whose coordinates are integers. Each lattice point has four neighboring points: upper, lower, left, and right. Let $k$ be a circle with radius $r \geq 2$, that does not pass through any lattice point. An interior boundary point is a lattice point lying inside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying outside $k$. Similarly, an exterior boundary point is a lattice point lying outside the circle $k$ that has a neighboring point lying inside $k$. Prove that there are four more exterior boundary points than interior boundary points.

Define a [b]ring[/b] in the plane to be the set of points at a distance of at least $r$ and at most $R$ from a specific point $O$, where $r<R$ are positive real numbers. Rings are determined by the three parameters $(O, R, r)$. The area of a ring is labeled $S$. A point in the plane for which both its coordinates are integers is called an integer point.
[b]a)[/b] For each positive integer $n$, show that there exists a ring not containing any integer point, for which $S>3n$ and $R<2^{2^n}$.
[b]b)[/b] Show that each ring satisfying $100\cdot R<S^2$ contains an integer point.

A route from point $P$ to point $Q$ is a broken line consisting of unit steps in the directions of the positive coordinate axes. An allowed route is a route not touching the line $x = y$.

Consider the set of all integer points in $Z^3$. Sasha and Masha play such a game. At first, Masha marks an arbitrary point. After that, Sasha marks all the points on some a plane perpendicular to one of the coordinate axes and at no point, which Masha noted. Next, they continue to take turns (Masha can't to select previously marked points, Sasha cannot choose the planes on which there are points said Masha). Masha wants to mark $n$ consecutive points on some line that parallel to one of the coordinate axes, and Sasha seeks to interfere with it. Find all $n$, in which Masha can achieve the desired result.

Some lattice points in the Cartesian coordinate system are colored red, the rest of the lattice points are colored blue. Such a coloring is called [i]finitely universal[/i], if for any finite, non-empty $A\subset \mathbb Z$ there exists $k\in\mathbb Z$ such that the point $(x,k)$ is colored red if and only if $x\in A$.
$a)$ Does there exist a finitely universal coloring such that each row has finitely many lattice points colored red, each row is colored differently, and the set of lattice points colored red is connected?
$b)$ Does there exist a finitely universal coloring such that each row has a finite number of lattice points colored red, and both the set of lattice points colored red and the set of lattice points colored blue are connected?
