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.

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.

Let $a$ and $b$ be two positive integers satifying $gcd(a, b) = 1$. Consider a pawn standing on the grid point $(x, y)$.
A step of type A consists of moving the pawn to one of the following grid points: $(x+a, y+a),(x+a,y-a), (x-a, y + a)$ or $(x - a, y - a)$.
A step of type B consists of moving the pawn to $(x + b,y + b),(x + b,y - b), (x - b,y + b)$ or $(x - b,y - b)$.
Now put a pawn on $(0, 0)$. You can make a (nite) number of steps, alternatingly of type A and type B, starting with a step of type A. You can make an even or odd number of steps, i.e., the last step could be of either type A or type B.
Determine the set of all grid points $(x,y)$ that you can reach with such a series of steps.
