**Math Exercises and Theory**

1. **Prime Number Determination:**
   - Only one prime of the form \(1 + 4n^4\) exists. Determine this prime number and prove it’s the only one of this particular form. 
   - *Hint*: Research Sophie Germain’s Identity to factor \(1 + 4n^4\).

2. **Congruence Proof:**
   - Let \(p\) be a prime number such that \(p > 5\). Prove that \(p^2 - 1 \equiv 0 \pmod{24}\).

3. **Binomial Coefficient Condition:**
   - Let \(q\) be a prime and \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(1 \leq n < q\). Prove that \(q \mid \binom{q}{n}\).

4. **Congruence Verification:**
   - Use the theory of congruences to verify that:
     \[
     25 \mid (2^{n+4} + 3^{n+2} - 5^{n+6})
     \]
     for all \(n \in \mathbb{N}\).

5. **Linear Congruence Solutions:**
   - Using congruence theory (not brute force), find all solutions to the following linear congruence:
     \[
     8x + 9y \equiv 10 \pmod{11}
     \]

6. **Final Digit Determination:**
   - Determine the possibilities for the final digit of a sixth power of an integer.

7. **Summation Modulo Proof:**
   - Prove that if \(n\) is an odd positive integer or divisible by 4, then
     \[
     1^3 + 2^3 + 3^3 + \ldots + (n - 1)^3 \equiv 0 \pmod{n}
     \]
   - Is the statement true if \(n\) is even but not divisible by 4?

*Note: There are no graphs or diagrams associated with these exercises. Each problem focuses on the application of mathematical theory and congruences.*
