The diameter of a circle of radius $R$ is divided into $4$ equal parts. The point $M$ is taken on the circle. Prove that the sum of the squares of the distances from the point $M$ to the points of division (together with the ends of the diameter) does not depend on the choice of the point $M$. Calculate this sum.

For each subset $T$ of $S = \{1, 2, ... , 7\}$, the result $r(T)$ of T is computed as follows: the elements of $T$ are written, largest to smallest, and alternating signs $(+, -)$ starting with $+$ are put in front of each number. The value of the resulting expression is$ r(T)$. (For example, for $T =\{2, 4, 7\}$, we have $r(T) = +7 - 4 + 2 = 5$.) Compute the sum of $r(T)$ as $T$ ranges over all subsets of $S$.

We write $\{a,b,c\}$ for the set of three different positive integers $a, b$, and $c$. By choosing some or all of the numbers a, b and c, we can form seven nonempty subsets of $\{a,b,c\}$. We can then calculate the sum of the elements of each subset. For example, for the set $\{4,7,42\}$ we will find sums of $4, 7, 42,11, 46, 49$, and $53$ for its seven subsets. Since $7, 11$, and $53$ are prime, the set $\{4,7,42\}$ has exactly three subsets whose sums are prime. (Recall that prime numbers are numbers with exactly two different factors, $1$ and themselves. In particular, the number $1$ is not prime.)
What is the largest possible number of subsets with prime sums that a set of three different positive integers can have? Give an example of a set $\{a,b,c\}$ that has that number of subsets with prime sums, and explain why no other three-element set could have more.

The sequence of Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ is defined by $F_0 = F_1 = 1 $ and $F_{n+2} = F_n+F_{n+1}$ for all $n > 0$. For example, we have $F_2 = F_0 + F_1 = 2, F_3 = F_1 + F_2 = 3, F_4 = F_2 + F_3 = 5$, and $F_5 = F_3 + F_4 = 8$. The sequence $a_0, a_1, a_2, ...$ is defined by $a_n =\frac{1}{F_nF_{n+2}}$ for all $n \ge 0$.
Prove that for all $m \ge 0$ we have: $a_0 + a_1 + a_2 + ... + a_m < 1$.
