Harry wants to label the points of a regular octagon with numbers $1,2,\ldots ,8$ and label the edges with $1,2,\ldots, 8$. There are special rules he must follow:
If an edge is numbered even, then the sum of the numbers of its endpoints must also be even.
If an edge is numbered odd, then the sum of the numbers of its endpoints must also be odd.
Two octagon labelings are equivalent if they can be made equal up to rotation, but not up to reflection. If $N$ is the number of possible octagon labelings, find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $100$.

A pair of positive integers $m, n$ is called [i]guerrera[/i], if there exists positive integers $a, b, c, d$ such that $m=ab$, $n=cd$ and $a+b=c+d$. For example the pair $8, 9$ is [i]guerrera[/i] cause $8= 4 \cdot 2$, $9= 3 \cdot 3$ and $4+2=3+3$. We paint the positive integers if the following order:
We start painting the numbers $3$ and $5$. If a positive integer $x$ is not painted and a positive $y$ is painted such that the pair $x, y$ is [i]guerrera[/i], we paint $x$.
Find all positive integers $x$ that can be painted.

Find all sequences $a_{0}, a_{1},\ldots, a_{n}$ of real numbers such that $a_{n}\neq 0$, for which the following statement is true:

and $x_{0}<x_{1}<\ldots <x_{n}$ are real numbers such that
$f(x_{0})=f(x_{1})=\ldots =f(x_{n})=0$ then there is $h\in (x_{0}, x_{n})$ for which \[a_{0}f(h)+a_{1}f'(h)+\ldots+a_{n}f^{(n)}(h)=0.\]

Given a succession $C$ of $1001$ positive real numbers (not necessarily distinct), and given a set $K$ of distinct positive integers, the permitted operation is: select a number $k\in{K}$, then select $k$ numbers in $C$, calculate the arithmetic mean of those $k$ numbers, and replace each of those $k$ selected numbers with the mean.
If $K$ is a set such that for each $C$ we can reach, by a sequence of permitted operations, a state where all the numbers are equal, determine the smallest possible value of the maximum element of $K$.
