Two knights placed on distinct square of an $8\times8$ chessboard, whose squares are unit squares, are said to attack each other if the distance between the centers of the squares on which the knights lie is $\sqrt{5}.$ In how many ways can two identical knights be placed on distinct squares of an $8\times8$ chessboard such that they do NOT attack each other?

There are $2022$ equally spaced points on a circular track $\gamma$ of circumference $2022$. The points are labeled $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_{2022}$ in some order, each label used once. Initially, Bunbun the Bunny begins at $A_1$. She hops along $\gamma$ from $A_1$ to $A_2$, then from $A_2$ to $A_3$, until she reaches $A_{2022}$, after which she hops back to $A_1$. When hopping from $P$ to $Q$, she always hops along the shorter of the two arcs $\widehat{PQ}$ of $\gamma$; if $\overline{PQ}$ is a diameter of $\gamma$, she moves along either semicircle. Determine the maximal possible sum of the lengths of the $2022$ arcs which Bunbun traveled, over all possible labellings of the $2022$ points. [i]Kevin Cong[/i]

The country of Harpland has three types of coins: green, white and orange. The unit of currency in Harpland is the shilling. Any coin is worth a positive integer number of shillings, but coins of the same color may be worth different amounts. A set of coins is stacked in the form of an equilateral triangle of side $n$ coins, as shown below for the case of $n=6$. [asy] size(100); for (int j=0; j<6; ++j) { for (int i=0; i<6-j; ++i) { draw(Circle((i+j/2,0.866j),0.5)); } } [/asy] The stacking has the following properties: (a) no coin touches another coin of the same color; (b) the total worth, in shillings, of the coins lying on any line parallel to one of the sides of the triangle is divisible by by three. Prove that the total worth in shillings of the [i]green[/i] coins in the triangle is divisible by three.
