Can three points with integer coordinates be the vertices of an equilateral triangle?

Prove that there are infinitely many natural numbers \(\{1,2,3,4,...\}\).

Prove that there are infinitely many prime numbers \(\{2,3,5,7,11,13...\}\).

Is it possible to colour the cells of a \(3\times 3\) board red and yellow such that there are the same number of red cells and yellow cells?

A group of \(15\) elves decided to pay a visit to their relatives in a distant village. They have a horse carriage that fits only \(5\) elves. In how many ways can they assemble the ambassador team, if at least one person in the team needs to be able to operate the carriage, and only \(5\) elves in the group can do that?

Is \(100! = 100\times 99 \times ...\times 2\) divisible by \(2^{100}\)?

Prove the magic trick for the number \(1089 = 33^2\): if you take any \(3\)-digit number \(\overline{abc}\) with digits coming in strictly descending order and subtract from it the number obtained by reversing the digits of the original number \(\overline{abc} - \overline{cba}\) you get another \(3\)-digit number, call it \(\overline{xyz}\). Then, no matter which number you started with, the sum \(\overline{xyz} + \overline{zyx} = 1089\).
Recall that a number \(\overline{abc}\) is divisible by \(11\) if and only if \(a-b+c\) also is.

We want to wrap \(12\) Christmas presents in different coloured paper. We have \(6\) different patterns of paper and we want to use each one exactly twice. In how many ways can we do this?
