Jose and Maria play the following game: Maria writes $2019$ positive integers different on the blackboard. Jose deletes some of them (possibly none, but not all) and write to the left of each of the remaining numbers a sign $+$or a sign $-$. Then the sum written on the board is calculated. If the result is a multiple of $2019$, Jose wins the game, if not, Maria wins. Determine which of the two has a winning strategy.

Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with the side of $20$ units. Amir divides this triangle into $400$ smaller equilateral triangles with the sides of $1$ unit. Reza then picks $4$ of the vertices of these smaller triangles. The vertices lie inside the triangle $ABC$ and form a parallelogram with sides parallel to the sides of the triangle $ABC.$ There are exactly $46$ smaller triangles that have at least one point in common with the sides of this parallelogram. Find all possible values for the area of this parallelogram.
