A 6×6 6 \times 6 board is filled out with positive integers. Each move consists of selecting a square larger than 1×1 1 \times 1, consisting of entire cells, and increasing all numbers inside the selected square by 1 1. Is it always possible to perform several moves so as to reach a situation where all numbers on the board are divisible by 3 3?

On the plane are given n3 n \ge 3 points, not all on the same line. For any point M M on the same plane, f(M) f(M) is defined to be the sum of the distances from M M to these n n points. Suppose that there is a point M1 M_1 such that f(M1)f(M) f(M_1)\le f(M) for any point M M on the plane. Prove that if a point M2 M_2 satisfies f(M_1)\equal{}f(M_2), then M1M2. M_1 \equiv M_2.

In an acute-angled triangle ABC ABC, ω \omega is the circumcircle and O O its center, ω1 \omega _1 the circumcircle of triangle AOC AOC, and OQ OQ the diameter of ω1 \omega _1. Let M M and N N be points on the lines AQ AQ and AC AC respectively such that the quadrilateral AMBN AMBN is a parallelogram. Prove that the lines MN MN and BQ BQ intersect on ω1 \omega _1.
