  1. the one starting with "1*7 + 3 = 10":

    i don't have an answer for you, but i will point out that ".142857142857..." is exactly 1/7. since your whole scheme here revolves around (a) 1/7 as a decimal, but with no decimal point and (b) multiplying by 7 and (c) adding numbers less than 7 [remainders, no doubt], this looks like it is definitely important. more thought will be necessary.
