A triangle $ABC$ is given in the plane with $AB = \sqrt{7},$ $BC = \sqrt{13}$ and $CA = \sqrt{19},$ circles are drawn with centers at $A,B$ and $C$ and radii $\frac{1}{3},$ $\frac{2}{3}$ and $1,$ respectively.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle with circumcenter $O$, on the sides $BC, CA$ and $AB$ they take the points $D, E$ and $F$, respectively, in such a way that $BDEF$ is a parallelogram.

Professor Oak is feeding his $100$ Pokémon. Each Pokémon has a bowl whose capacity is a positive real number of kilograms. These capacities are known to Professor Oak. The total capacity of all the bowls is $100$ kilograms. Professor Oak distributes $100$ kilograms of food in such a way that each Pokémon receives a non-negative integer number of kilograms of food (which may be larger than the capacity of the bowl). The [i]dissatisfaction level[/i] of a Pokémon who received $N$ kilograms of food and whose bowl has a capacity of $C$ kilograms is equal to $\lvert N-C\rvert$. Find the smallest real number $D$ such that, regardless of the capacities of the bowls, Professor Oak can distribute food in a way that the sum of the dissatisfaction levels over all the $100$ Pokémon is at most $D$.

Call a sequence $a_0,a_1,a_2,\dots$ of positive integers defined by $a_k = 25 a_{k - 1} + 96$ for all $k > 0$ a \textit{valid} sequence. Call the \textit{goodness} of a \textit{valid} sequence the maximum value of $\gcd(a_k, a_{k+2024})$ over all $k$. Call a \textit{valid} sequence \textit{best} if it has the maximal \textit{goodness} across all possible \textit{valid} sequences. Find the second largest $a_0$ across all \textit{best} sequences.

(a) On each of the $1 \times 1$ squares of the top row of an $8 \times 8$ chessboard there is a black pawn, and on each of the $1 \times 1$ squares of the bottom row of this chessboard there is a white pawn. On each move one can shift any pawn vertically or horizontally to any adjacent empty $1 \times 1$ square. What is the smallest number of moves that are needed to move all white pawns to the top row and all black pawns to the bottom one? (b) The same question for a $7 \times 7$ board. (A Shapovalov_
