Solve the equation \(xy = x + y\) in integers.
Determine all solutions of the equation \((n + 2)! - (n + 1)! - n! = n^2 + n^4\) in natural numbers.
10 numbers are written around the circle, the sum of which is equal to 100. It is known that the sum of every three numbers standing side by side is not less than 29.

A daisy has a) 12 petals; b) 11 petals. Consider the game with two players where: in one turn a player is allowed to remove either exactly one petal or two petals which are next to each other. The loser is the one who cannot make a turn. How should the second player act, in cases a) and b), in order to win the game regardless of the moves of the first player?
