[b]p2.[/b] Is there a positive integer $n$ which is divisible by each of $1, 2,3,..., 2018$ except for two numbers whose difference is$ 7$? [b]p3.[/b] Twenty numbers are placed around the circle in such a way that any number is the average of its two neighbors. Prove that all of the numbers are equal. [b]p4.[/b] A finite number of frogs occupy distinct integer points on the real line. At each turn, a single frog jumps by $1$ to the right so that all frogs again occupy distinct points. For some initial configuration, the frogs can make $n$ moves in $m$ ways. Prove that if they jump by $1$ to the left (instead of right) then the number of ways to make $n$ moves is also $m$. [b]p5.[/b] A square box of chocolates is divided into $49$ equal square cells, each containing either dark or white chocolate. At each move Alex eats two chocolates of the same kind if they are in adjacent cells (sharing a side or a vertex). What is the maximal number of chocolates Alex can eat regardless of distribution of chocolates in the box? PS. You should use hide for answers.

In the diagram below, $AB$ is a diameter of circle $O$. Point C is drawn such that $\overline{BC}$ is tangent to circle $O$, and $AB = BC$. A point $F$ is selected on line $AB$ and a point $D$ is selected on circle $O$ such that $\angle CDF = 90^\circ$.

Prove that you can separate all the people at the party in two groups in such a way that in the first group everyone is friends with each other and that all the people in the second group are not friends to anyone else in second group.
