The central square of a $$9 \times 9$$ chessboard is white. How many white squares are there on the board? (The squares of the chessboard are coloured alternately black and white.)
The centre is in row 5, column 5, and moving four squares left and then four squares up preserves the colour, so the top-left corner is also white. Rows $$1, 3, 5, 7, 9$$ therefore contain 5 white squares each, while rows $$2, 4, 6, 8$$ contain 4 each. Hence the total is $$5 \times 5 + 4 \times 4 = 41$$.
An integer $$M$$ is divisible by 4 but not by 256. What is the number of distinct possible remainders when $$M$$ is divided by 256?
