For which positive integers $n \ge 3$ is it possible to mark $n$ points of a plane in such a way that, starting from one marked point and moving on each step to the marked point which is the second closest to the current point, one can walk through all the marked points and return to the initial one? For each point, the second closest marked point must be uniquely determined.

Let $n$ be a natural number. A sequence $x_1,x_2, \cdots ,x_{n^2}$ of $n^2$ numbers is called $n-\textit{good}$ if each $x_i$ is an element of the set $\{1,2,\cdots ,n\}$ and the ordered pairs $\left(x_i,x_{i+1}\right)$ are all different for $i=1,2,3,\cdots ,n^2$ (here we consider the subscripts modulo $n^2$). Two $n-$good sequences $x_1,x_2,\cdots ,x_{n^2}$ and $y_1,y_2,\cdots ,y_{n^2}$ are called $\textit{similar}$ if there exists an integer $k$ such that $y_i=x_{i+k}$ for all $i=1,2,\cdots,n^2$ (again taking subscripts modulo $n^2$). Suppose that there exists a non-trivial permutation (i.e., a permutation which is different from the identity permutation) $\sigma$ of $\{1,2,\cdots ,n\}$ and an $n-$ good sequence $x_1,x_2,\cdots,x_{n^2}$ which is similar to $\sigma\left(x_1\right),\sigma\left(x_2\right),\cdots ,\sigma\left(x_{n^2}\right)$. Show that $n\equiv 2\pmod{4}$.

There are $n$ light bulbs in a circle and one of them is marked. Let operation $A$: Take a positive divisor $d$ of the number $n,$ starting with the light bulb marked and clockwise, we count around the circumference from $1$ to $dn$, changing the state (on or off) to those light bulbs that correspond to the multiples of $d$. Let operation $B$ be: Apply operation$ A$ to all positive divisors of $n$ (to the first divider that is applied is with all the light bulbs off and the remaining divisors is with the state resulting from the previous divisor). Determine all the positive integers $n$, such that when applying the operation on $B$, all the light bulbs are on.

Byan is playing raven, raven, falcon with his three friends. His friends sit down in a circle, and Byan repeatedly walks clockwise around them, tapping each friend he passes on the head and then saying `raven' or `falcon', each with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. The game ends after Byan has said `falcon' twice. The probability one of his friends will be called a falcon twice can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $100m+n$. [i]Individual #6[/i]
