For how many pairs of numbers \(x\) and \(y\) between \(1\) and \(100\) is the expression \(x^2 + y^2\) divisible by \(7\)?

Seven robbers are dividing a bag of coins of various denominations. It turned out that the sum could not be divided equally between them, but if any coin is set aside, the rest could be divided so that every robber would get an equal part. Prove that the bag cannot contain \(100\) coins.

Two segments \(AB\) and \(A'B'\) are given on a plane. Construct the point \(O\) so that the triangles \(AOB\) and \(A'OB'\) are similar (the same letters denote the corresponding vertices of similar triangles).

On board the airplane there are \(2n\) passengers, and the airline loaded for them \(n\) servings of lunch with chicken and \(n\) servings with fish. It is known that a passenger with a probability of 0.5 prefers chicken and with a probability of 0.5 prefers fish. Let’s call a passenger dissatisfied if he does not have what he prefers.

a) Find the most likely number of dissatisfied passengers.

b) Find the mathematical expectation of the number of dissatisfied passengers.

c) Find the variance of the number of dissatisfied passengers.

Let’s call a natural number good if in its decimal record we have the numbers 1, 9, 7, 3 in succession, and bad if otherwise. (For example, the number 197,639,917 is bad and the number 116,519,732 is good.) Prove that there exists a positive integer \(n\) such that among all \(n\)-digit numbers (from \(10^{n-1}\) to \(10^{n-1}\)) there are more good than bad numbers.

Try to find the smallest possible \(n\).
