A truck delivered 4 bags of cement. They are stacked in the truck. A worker can carry one bag at a time either from the truck to the gate or from the gate to the shed. The worker can carry the bags in any order, each time taking the top bag, carrying it to the respective destination, and placing it on top of the existing stack (if there are already bags there). If given a choice to carry a bag from the truck or from the gate, the worker randomly chooses each option with a probability of 0.5. Eventually, all the bags end up in the shed.

A king summoned two wise men. He gave the first one 100 blank cards and instructed him to write a positive number on each (the numbers do not have to be different), without showing them to the second wise man. Then, the first wise man can communicate several distinct numbers to the second wise man, each of which is either written on one of the cards or is a sum of the numbers on some cards (without specifying exactly how each number is derived). The second wise man must determine which 100 numbers are written on the cards. If he cannot do this, both will be executed; otherwise, a number of hairs will be plucked from each of their beards equal to the amount of numbers the first wise man communicated. How can the wise men, without colluding, stay alive and lose the minimum number of hairs?

A man and his faithful dog simultaneously started moving along the perimeter of a block from point \( A \) at time \( t_{0} = 0 \) minutes. The man moved at a constant speed clockwise, while the dog ran at a constant speed counterclockwise. It is known that the first time they met was \( t_{1} = 2 \) minutes after starting, and this meeting occurred at point \( B \). Given that they continued moving after this, each in their original direction and at their original speed, determine the next time they will both be at point \( B \) simultaneously. Note that \( A B = C D = 100 \) meters and \( B C = A D = 200 \) meters.
