The Fibonacci numbers $F_0, F_1, F_2, . . .$ are defined inductively by $F_0=0, F_1=1$, and $F_{n+1}=F_n+F_{n-1}$ for $n \ge 1$. Given an integer $n \ge 2$, determine the smallest size of a set $S$ of integers such that for every $k=2, 3, . . . , n$ there exist some $x, y \in S$ such that $x-y=F_k$.

There are There are $64$ towns in a country, and some pairs of towns are connected by roads but we do not know these pairs. We may choose any pair of towns and find out whether they are connected by a road. Our aim is to determine whether it is possible to travel between any two towns using roads. Prove that there is no algorithm which would enable us to do this in less than $2016$ questions. but we do not know these pairs.

Given that Mr. Ambulando wants to walk the shortest distance possible, how many different routes through downtown can he take?
A large cube of size \(4 \times 4 \times 4\) is made up of 64 small unit cubes. Exactly 16 of these small cubes must be colored red, subject to the following condition:
In each block of \(1 \times 1 \times 4\), \(1 \times 4 \times 1\), and \(4 \times 1 \times 1\) cubes, there must be exactly one red cube.
Determine how many different ways it is possible to choose the 16 small cubes to be colored red.
Note: Two colorings are considered different even if one can be obtained from the other by rotations or symmetries of the cube.
