Mariana plays with an $8\times 8$ board with all its squares blank. She says that two houses are *neighbors* if they have a common side or vertex, that is, two houses can be neighbors vertically, horizontally or diagonally. The game consists of filling the $64$ squares on the board, one after the other, each with a number according to the following rule: she always chooses a house blank and fill it with an integer equal to the number of neighboring houses that are still in White. Once this is done, the house is no longer considered blank. Show that the value of the sum of all $64$ numbers written on the board at the end of the game does not depend in the order of filling. Also, calculate the value of this sum. Note: A house is not neighbor to itself. <details><summary>original wording</summary>Mariana brinca com um tabuleiro 8 x 8 com todas as suas casas em branco.

Together, Kenneth and Ellen pick a real number $a$ . Kenneth subtracts $a$ from every thousandth root of unity (that is, the thousand complex numbers $\omega$ for which $\omega^{1000}=1$ ) then inverts each, then sums the results. Ellen inverts every thousandth root of unity, then subtracts $a$ from each, and then sums the results. They are surprised to find that they actually got the same answer! How many possible values of $a$ are there?

Alice and Bob are stuck in quarantine, so they decide to play a game. Bob will write down a polynomial $f(x)$ with the following properties: (a) for any integer $n$ , $f(n)$ is an integer; (b) the degree of $f(x)$ is less than $187$ . Alice knows that $f(x)$ satisfies (a) and (b), but she does not know $f(x)$ . In every turn, Alice picks a number $k$ from the set $\{1,2,\ldots,187\}$ , and Bob will tell Alice the value of $f(k)$ . Find the smallest positive integer $N$ so that Alice always knows for sure the parity of $f(0)$ within $N$ turns. *Proposed by YaWNeeT*
