Could someone please solve this problem?

Find all functions \( f : \mathbb{Z} \to \mathbb{Z} \) that satisfy \( f(0) = 1 \) and
\[
f(f(n)) = f(f(n+2)+2) = n
\]for all integers \( n \).

Consider the sequence defined by \(a_1 = 2\), \(a_2 = 3\), and
\[
a_{2k+1} = 2 + 2a_k, \quad a_{2k+2} = 2 + a_k + a_{k+1},
\]for all integers \(k \geq 1\). Determine all positive integers \(n\) such that
\[
\frac{a_n}{n}
\]is an integer.

For a positive integer $N$, let $c_1 < c_2 < \cdots < c_m$ be all positive integers smaller than $N$ that are coprime to $N$. Find all $N \geqslant 3$ such that $$\gcd( N, c_i + c_{i+1}) \neq 1$$for all $1 \leqslant i \leqslant m-1$

Here $\gcd(a, b)$ is the largest positive integer that divides both $a$ and $b$. Integers $a$ and $b$ are coprime if $\gcd(a, b) = 1$.

Given a cyclic quadrilateral $ABCD$ with $BC<AD$ and $CD<AB$. Lines $BC$ and $AD$ intersect at $X$, and lines $CD$ and $AB$ intersect at $Y$. Let $E,F,G,H$ be the midpoints of sides $AB,BC,CD,DA$, respectively. Let $S$ and $T$ be points on segment $EG$ and $FH$, respectively, so that $XS$ is the angle bisector of $\angle{DXA}$ and $YT$ is the angle bisector of $\angle{DYA}$. Prove that $TS$ is parallel to $BD$ if and only if $AC$ divides $ABCD$ into two triangles with equal area.
