**Mathematics Exercise: Prime Numbers and Congruences**

1. **Prime Number of the Form \(1 + 4n^4\)**
   - Task: Determine the prime number of the form \(1 + 4n^4\) and prove it's the only one. 
   - Hint: Research Sophie Germain's Identity to factor \(1 + 4n^4\).

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

3. **Congruence Verification for Prime Number \(q\) and Integer \(n\)**
   - Task: Let \(q\) be a prime and \(n \in \mathbb{N}\) such that \(1 \leq n < q\). Prove that \(q \mid \binom{q}{n}\).

4. **Theory of Congruences Verification**
   - Task: 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**
   - Task: Using congruence theory (not brute force), find all solutions to the following linear congruence:
     \[
     8x + 9y \equiv 10 \pmod{11}
     \]

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

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