Construct a tetromino by attaching two $2 \times 1$ dominoes along their longer sides such that the midpoint of the longer side of one domino is a corner of the other domino. This construction yields two kinds of tetrominoes with opposite orientations. Let us call them $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, respectively.
Assume that a lattice polygon $P$ can be tiled with $S$-tetrominoes. Prove that no matter how we tile $P$ using only $S$- and $Z$-tetrominoes, we always use an even number of $Z$-tetrominoes.

On the board are written $2 , 3 , 5 ,... , 2003$ , that is, all the prime numbers of the interval $[2,2007]$ . The operation of [i]simplification [/i] is the replacement of two numbers $a , b$ by a maximal prime number not exceeding $\sqrt{a^2-a b+b^2}$ . First, the student erases the number $q, 2<q<2003$, then applies the [i]simplification [/i] operation to the remaining numbers until one number remains. Find the maximum possible and minimum possible values of the number obtained in the end. How do these values depend on the number $q$?

Given a positive integer \(n\), let \(\phi(n)\) denote the number of positive integers less than or equal to \(n\) that are relatively prime to \(n\). Find all possible positive integers \(k\) for which there exist positive integers \(1 \leq a_1 < a_2 < \dots < a_k\) such that:
\[
\left\lfloor \frac{\phi(a_1)}{a_1} + \frac{\phi(a_2)}{a_2} + \dots + \frac{\phi(a_k)}{a_k} \right\rfloor = 2024

A positive integer \(n\) is called perfect if the sum of its positive divisors \(\sigma(n)\) is twice \(n\), that is, \(\sigma(n) = 2n\). For example, \(6\) is a perfect number since the sum of its positive divisors is \(1 + 2 + 3 + 6 = 12\), which is twice \(6\). Prove that if \(n\) is a positive perfect integer, then:
\[
\sum_{p|n} \frac{1}{p + 1} < \ln 2 < \sum_{p|n} \frac{1}{p - 1}
\]
where the sums are taken over all prime divisors \(p\) of \(n\).

We define the sequence $a_n=(2n)^2+1$ for each natural number $n$. We will call one number [i]bad[/i], if there don’t exist natural numbers $a>1$ and $b>1$ such that $a_n=a^2+b^2$. Prove that the natural number $n$ is [i]bad[/i], if and only if $a_n$ is prime.

Four integers are marked on a circle. On each step we simultaneously replace each number by the difference between this number and next number on the circle, moving in a clockwise direction; that is, the numbers $ a,b,c,d$ are replaced by $ a\minus{}b,b\minus{}c,c\minus{}d,d\minus{}a.$ Is it possible after 1996 such to have numbers $ a,b,c,d$ such the numbers $ |bc\minus{}ad|, |ac \minus{} bd|, |ab \minus{} cd|$ are primes?

On Qingqing Grassland, there are 7 sheep numberd $1,2,3,4,5,6,7$ and 2017 wolves numberd $1,2,\cdots,2017$. We have such strange rules:
(1) Define $P(n)$: the number of prime numbers that are smaller than $n$. Only when $P(i)\equiv j\pmod7$, wolf $i$ may eat sheep $j$ (he can also choose not to eat the sheep).
(2) If wolf $i$ eat sheep $j$, he will immediately turn into sheep $j$.
(3) If a wolf can make sure not to be eaten, he really wants to experience life as a sheep.
Assume that all wolves are very smart, then how many wolves will remain in the end?
