Integrate Classroom with a web game - google-classroom

I would like to integrate (if possible) my web puzzle game (I'm a Puzzle) with Google Classroom.
At I'm a Puzzle (https://im-a-puzzle.com) one can create jigsaw-like puzzle games from any picture. All you need to do is select a picture, mode and difficulty and press share. Once done, the picture is uploaded to my server and the user gets an unique link to his puzzle game that he can share in any social media.
Some teachers are already sharing the created links in Google Classroom, but they would like to have a better integration.
The integration could work as follows.
Teacher enters the game, configures a puzzle, gets an unique link for his/her game (as of today)
Teacher shares the puzzle link with the students via Google Classroom (I understand this is possible via the share button)
Student click the link in Google Classroom and plays the game. At this point I must be able to identify which student (id?) is playing
When the student finishes the game, my web app communicates all the game info (student, score, time, etc.) back to the teacher via Google Classroom
Is this all possible? I couldn't find anything like this in the guides (apart from the share button).

Selling custom product that doesn't fit well for in app purchase

I'am working on community project for chess players and I use standard in app purchases provided by Google to get credit for functions to be used. I prefer however one big payment for one country (culture) made by some company or major local chess entity, personally dealing conditions, creating data source to fit my app, giving users everything within the culture for free and in return giving the sponsor place in various screens of my application.
I know 3rd party payment processors are not allowed for standard app use.
Breaking Google Play developer policy in this case or not?
Making in app purchase for this is just weird.
How to get money for such a product not breaking Google play rules?
There's a whole website by Google explaining the policies.
I don't work for Google's policy team, and I'm not a lawyer, but here would be my reading:
If you want a user to pay within your app, then use Google's methods. So if you want the person sponsoring the whole country to pay within the App, use Google's payment methods.
What you do as a company to strike sponsorship deals and take payment is up to you, if that payment happens outside the app.
But you should read that website above carefully for yourself, and of course Google Play has the final say.

Segment audience by organic impressions or page likes in Facebook analytics

I'm currently using Facebook Analytics to see the activity on a mobile game. I'm able to segment my game users in a number of different ways directly related to Facebook, i.e. Facebook logins in a certain time period etc. However, I would really like to be able to segment the audience by organic Facebook impressions and page likes. For example:
A segment of people who have the game installed AND like the game's page on Facebook
A segment of people who have seen one of the game's Facebook page organic posts, AND have launched/installed the game
The idea is that I would like to get a better insight of how our organic Facebook actions are affecting user events. If this isn't possible on Facebook analytics, does anyone have any idea of a platform where it is?
Thanks very much!
Answer to Question 1:
As of now it doesn't appear that you are able to add the Event of a "Page Like" as a parameter for a Segment against a FB Page. FB Page analytics is still listed as beta here. It's not an Event currently available. List of Page Events here.
Alternative Answer to Question 2:
As of now you are not able to Segment people by impressions within FBA. You can however create a Segment based on facebook's definition of Facebook Organic App Install Source.
Facebook Organic: Installs from a shared non-ad link on Facebook (including Pages).
To do this, you need to apply the following Segment:
Apply the segment: Condition -> "App Install Source" App Install Source -> "is" -> "Facebook Organic"

Is it possible for Google Places API to notify users of any quiet locations within close proximity?

I would like to ask whether Google Places API is able to notify users of any quiet places within their region?
I am creating an application which is targeted towards people with hearing loss and one of the features of the application is to enable users with hearing loss to locate a quiet place in order to rest their ears. For instance, if a user is currently in a club for extended periods of time and requires a quiet place to rest his ears away from the loud music, the app will be able to direct the user to the desired location quickly and efficiently.
Try using geofencing and notify user if he/she reach near by such loactions

Facebook Graph Api publish photo to fan page album and tag author on it

We are a French Mobile Agengy working on a touchy Facebook integration (Graph API and mobile SDK).
That application (iOS & Android) consist in a picture contest, where the winner is the one who gets the more likes on its picture published on the Facebook Fan Page.
Each user connect via Facebook Connect.
They can take a picture with their phone and upload it to our server for moderation.
When the picture is validated by our review team we want to do the following interactions with Facebook :
3-1. Publish the picture to a specific album of a fan page (this part is working well, doing validation with a Facebook connected user, being admin of the fan page and granting "manage_pages" to the fbapp of this operation)
3-2. Then we want to "tag" the author on the photo - author being the facebook user which uploaded the photo to our server -, so that the picture shows off on this user timeline - not a post referencing the picture, because the "likes" must be on the picture and not on a share of it.
We are stuck on the 3-2 step, since we could not find a way to properly tag a user on a fan page picture using Graph API (either as a user or a page or an app - access_tokens).
In a more functional point of view, we want to post a picture in a Facebook Fan Page Album (via a fbapp), and have this picture integrated on both Fan Page and User (Author) timelines without having to repost this picture (to prevent likes fragmentation between picture and shares).
Hope my explanations are clear, any help will be (greatly) welcome. :)

What algorithms do GMail/Facebook use to serve context relevant ads?

GMail serves some really good ads on the column on the right of the email text. Same goes for Facebook. The ads which I see on Facebook are often (very) relevant to what interests me. Obviously they preprocess the information available to them. GMail scans the text of my email, extracts keywords and then serves relevant ads. The same goes for Facebook. They have a lot of user specific information available to them. So I would imagine they preprocess all of it, before generating any ad recommendations.
Does anyone know of what specific algorithms do those systems use?
Facebook, at least, doesn't seem to do any context analysis. Instead, when you buy an ad, you select who will see it based on their location, age, pages... and Facebook will try to show your ad to all those people (ads for a given person are sorted based on how much the advertiser wishes to pay to display it, and only the first few ads are shown).
Try creating an ad, it's extremely interesting (and you can get pretty far before they ask you for your credit card number).
