For positive integers $n, k, l$, we define the number of $l$-tuples of positive integers $(a_1,a_2,\cdots a_l)$ satisfying the following as $Q(n,k,l)$.
(i): $n=a_1+a_2+\cdots +a_l$
(ii): $a_1>a_2>\cdots > a_l > 0$.
(iii): $a_l$ is an odd number.
(iv): There are $k$ odd numbers out of $a_i$.
For example, from $9=8+1=6+3=6+2+1$, we have $Q(9,1,1)=1$, $Q(9,1,2)=2$, $Q(9,1,3)=1$.
Prove that if $n>k^2$, $\sum_{l=1}^n Q(n,k,l)$ is $0$ or an even number.

William was bored at the math lesson, so he drew a circle and $n\ge3$ empty cells around the circumference. In every cell he wrote a positive number. Later on he erased the numbers and in every cell wrote the geometric mean of the numbers previously written in the two neighboring cells. Show that there exists a cell whose number was not replaced by a larger number.

Mari and Juri ordered a round pizza. Juri cut the pizza into four pieces by two straight cuts, none of which passed through the centre point of the pizza. Mari can choose two pieces not aside of these four, and Juri gets the rest two pieces. Prove that if Mari chooses the piece that covers the centre point of the pizza, she will get more pizza than Juri.
