[b](9.7)[/b] On the segment $[0, 2002]$ its ends and the point with coordinate $d$ are marked, where $d$ is a coprime number to $1001$. It is allowed to mark the midpoint of any segment with ends at the marked points, if its coordinate is integer. Is it possible, by repeating this operation several times, to mark all the integer points on a segment?
[b](10.7)[/b] On the segment $[0, 2002]$ its ends and $n-1 > 0$ integer points are marked so that the lengths of the segments into which the segment $ [0, 2002]$ is divided are corpime in the total (i.e., have no common divisor greater than $1$). It is allowed to divide any segment with marked ends into $n$ equal parts and mark the division points if they are all integers. (The point can be marked a second time, but it remains marked.) Is it possible, by repeating this operation several times, mark all the integer points on the segment?
[b](11.8)[/b] On the segment $ [0,N]$ its ends and $2 $ more points are marked so that the lengths segments into which the segment $[0,N]$ is divided are integer and coprime in total. If there are two marked points $A$ and $B$ such that the distance between them is a multiple of $3$, then we can divide from cutting $AB$ by $3$ equal parts, mark one of the division points and erase one of the points $A, B$. Is it true that for several such actions you can mark any predetermined integer point of the segment $[0,N]$?

[b]4.[/b] We see, in Figures 1 and 2, examples of lock screens from a cellphone that only works with a password that is not typed but drawn with straight line segments. Those segments form a polygonal line with vertices in a lattice. When drawing the pattern that corresponds to a password, the finger can't lose contact with the screen. Every polygonal line corresponds to a sequence of digits and this sequence is, in fact, the password. The tracing of the polygonal obeys the following rules:
[i]i.[/i] The tracing starts at some of the detached points which correspond to the digits from $1$ to $9$ (Figure 3).
[i]ii.[/i] Each segment of the pattern must have as one of its extremes (on which we end the tracing of the segment) a point that has not been used yet.
[i]iii.[/i] If a segment connects two points and contains a third one (its middle point), then the corresponding digit to this third point is included in the password. That does not happen if this point/digit has already been used.
[i]iv.[/i] Every password has at least four digits.
Thus, every polygonal line is associated to a sequence of four or more digits, which appear in the password in the same order that they are visited. In Figure 1, for instance, the password is 218369, if the first point visited was $2$. Notice how the segment connecting the points associated with $3$ and $9$ includes the points associated to digit $6$. If the first visited point were the $9$, then the password would be $963812$. If the first visited point were the $6$, then the password would be $693812$. In this case, the $6$ would be skipped, because it can't be repeated. On the other side, the polygonal line of Figure 2 is associated to a unique password.
Determine the smallest $n (n \geq 4)$ such that, given any subset of $n$ digits from $1$ to $9$, it's possible to elaborate a password that involves exactly those digits in some order.

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?
A set $H$ of lattice points is called [i]connected[/i] if, for any $x,y\in H$, there exists a path along the grid lines that passes only through lattice points in $H$ and connects $x$ to $y$.

Call a point in the Cartesian plane with integer coordinates a $lattice$ $point$. Given a finite set $\mathcal{S}$ of lattice points we repeatedly perform the following operation: given two distinct lattice points $A, B$ in $\mathcal{S}$ and two distinct lattice points $C, D$ not in $\mathcal{S}$ such that $ACBD$ is a parallelogram with $AB > CD$, we replace $A, B$ by $C, D$. Show that only finitely many such operations can be performed.

A lattice point is a point $(x, y)$ with both $x$ and $y$ integers. Find, with proof, the smallest $n$ such that every set of $n$ lattice points contains three points that are the vertices of a triangle with integer area. (The triangle may be degenerate, in other words, the three points may lie on a straight line and hence form a triangle with area zero.)

A frog jumps around on the grid points in the plane, from one grid point to another. The frog starts at the point $(0, 0)$. Then it makes, successively, a jump of one step horizontally, a jump of $2$ steps vertically, a jump of $3$ steps horizontally, a jump of $4$ steps vertically, et cetera. Determine all $n > 0$ such that the frog can be back in $(0, 0)$ after $n$ jumps.

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.
