We attach to the vertices of a regular hexagon the numbers $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$. Now, we are allowed to transform the numbers by the following rules: (a) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at two opposite vertices. (b) We can add an arbitrary integer to the numbers at three vertices forming an equilateral triangle. (c) We can subtract an integer $t$ from one of the six numbers and simultaneously add $t$ to the two neighbouring numbers. Can we, just by acting several times according to these rules, get a cyclic permutation of the initial numbers? (I. e., we started with $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$; can we now get $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$, $0$, or $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $0$, $1$ ?)

(b) There exists a polynomial of second degree $F(u,v,w,z)$ such that $f(A_1,A_2)=F(x_1,y_1,x_2,y_2)$.

here is the most difficult and the most beautiful problem occurs in 21th iranian (2003) olympiad assume that P is n-gon ,lying on the plane ,we name its edge 1,2,..,n. if S=s1,s2,s3,.... be a finite or infinite sequence such that for each i, si is in {1,2,...,n}, we move P on the plane according to the S in this form: at first we reflect P through the s1 ( s1 means the edge which iys number is s1)then through s2 and so on like the figure below. a)show that there exist the infinite sequence S sucth that if we move P according to S we cover all the plane b)prove that the sequence in a) isn't periodic. c)assume that P is regular pentagon ,which the radius of its circumcircle is 1,and D is circle ,with radius 1.00001 ,arbitrarily in the plane .does exist a sequence S such that we move P according to S then P reside in D completely?
