$2000$ consecutive integers (not necessarily positive) are written on the board. A student takes several turns. On each turn, he partitions the $2000$ integers into $1000$ pairs, and substitutes each pair by the difference arid the sum of that pair (note that the difference does not need to be positive as the student may choose to subtract the greater number from the smaller one; in addition, all the operations are carried simultaneously). Prove that the student will never again write $2000$ consecutive integers on the board.

We consider a prism which has the upper and inferior basis the pentagons: $A_{1}A_{2}A_{3}A_{4}A_{5}$ and $B_{1}B_{2}B_{3}B_{4}B_{5}$. Each of the sides of the two pentagons and the segments $A_{i}B_{j}$ with $i,j=1,\ldots$,5 is colored in red or blue. In every triangle which has all sides colored there exists one red side and one blue side. Prove that all the 10 sides of the two basis are colored in the same color.

On an $8 \times 8$ board, $10$ checkers have been placed, each occupying a square. On each square without a token, a number between $0$ and $8$ is written, which is equal to the number of tokens placed on its neighboring squares. Neighboring cells are those that have a side or a vertex in common. Give a distribution of the tiles that makes the sum of the numbers written on the board the greatest possible.
