Every square of $1000 \times 1000$ board is colored black or white. It is known that exists one square $10 \times 10$ such that all squares inside it are black and one square $10 \times 10$ such that all squares inside are white. For every square $K$ $10 \times 10$ we define its power $m(K)$ as an absolute value of difference between number of white and black squares $1 \times 1$ in square $K$. Let $T$ be a square $10 \times 10$ which has minimum power among all squares $10 \times 10$ in this board. Determine maximal possible value of $m(T)$

We have a set of $343$ closed jars, each containing blue, yellow and red marbles with the number of marbles from each color being at least $1$ and at most $7$. No two jars have exactly the same contents. Initially all jars are with the caps up. To flip a jar will mean to change its position from cap-up to cap-down or vice versa. It is allowed to choose a
triple of positive integers $(b; y; r) \in \{1; 2; ...; 7\}^3$ and flip all the jars whose number of blue, yellow and red marbles differ by not more than $1$ from $b, y, r$, respectively. After $n$ moves all the jars turned out to be with the caps down. Find the number of all possible values of $n$, if $n \le 2021$.

Let $n > 2$ and $n$ lamps numbered $1, 2, ..., n$ be connected in cyclic order: $1$ to $2, 2$ to $3, ..., n-1$ to $n, n$ to $1$. At the beginning all lamps are off.

Let $\otimes$ be a binary operation that takes two positive real numbers and returns a positive real number. Suppose further that $\otimes$ is continuous, commutative $(a\otimes b=b\otimes a)$, distributive across multiplication $(a\otimes(bc)=(a\otimes b)(a\otimes c))$, and that $2\otimes 2=4$.

An $8\times 8$ square board is divided into $64$ unit squares. A ’skew-diagonal’ of the board is a set of $8$ unit squares no two of which are in the same row or same column. Checkers are placed in some of the unit squares so that ’each skew-diagonal contains exactly two squares occupied by checkers’. Prove that there exist two rows or two columns which contain all the checkers.
