(a) Prove that from 20072007 given positive integers, one of them can be chosen so the product of the remaining numbers is expressible in the form a2b2a^2 - b^2 for some positive integers aa and bb. (2) (b) One of 20072007 given positive integers is 20062006. Prove that if there is a unique number among them such that the product of the remaining numbers is expressible in the form a2b2a^2 - b^2 for some positive integers aa and bb, then this unique number is 20062006.
