4. Stones lie in three piles: one has 51 stones, another has 49 stones, and the third has 5 stones. It is allowed to combine any piles into one, as well as to split a pile with an even number of stones into two equal piles. Is it possible to get 105 piles, each with one stone?
4. Note that if at some point the number of stones in each pile is divisible by an odd number $a$, then in all further piles obtained by allowed actions, the number of stones will also be divisible by $a$ (see facts 5 and 9). After the first move, three possible arrangements of stones can be obtained: piles of 100 sto...

Triangle $OAB$ is equilateral because $OA = OB$ and $\angle AOB = \frac{360^\circ}{6} = 60^\circ$. Similarly, triangles $OBC, OCD, ODE, OEF$, and $OFA$ are equilateral.

5. To some natural number, two two-digit numbers were appended sequentially to the right. The resulting number turned out to be equal to the cube of the sum of the three original numbers. Find all possible triples of the original numbers.

According to the condition, the numbers $a, b, c$ and $x$ satisfy the equation $10^{4} a+100 b+c=x^{3}$ (see fact 11).
