Consider the sequence in which $a_1 = 1$ and $a_n$ is obtained by juxtaposing the decimal representation of $n$ at the end of the decimal representation of $a_{n-1}$. That is, $a_1 = 1$, $a_2 = 12$, $a_3 = 123$, $\dots$ , $a_9 = 123456789$, $a_{10} = 12345678910$ and so on. Prove that infinitely many numbers of this sequence are multiples of $7$.

Prove that for any odd integer $n \geq 1$, there is a way to number each of the 33 beads with an integer from the sequence \[ \{ n, n+1, n+2, \dots, n+32 \} \] so that each integer is used once, and adjacent beads correspond to relatively prime integers. (Here a ``necklace'' is viewed as a circle in which each bead is adjacent to two other beads.)
