Alex and Zev are two members of a group of $2017$ friends who all know each other. Alex is trying to send a package to Zev. The delivery process goes as follows: Alex sends the package randomly to one of the people in the group. If this person is Zev, the delivery is done. Otherwise, the person who received the package also randomly sends it to someone in the group who hasn't held the package before and this process repeats until Zev gets the package. What is the expected number of deliveries made?

Let $\triangle ABC$ be a right triangle with right angle $\angle B$. Suppose the angle bisector $l$ of $B$ divides the hypotenuse $AC$ into two segments of length $\sqrt{3}-1$ and $\sqrt{3}+1$. What is the measure of the smaller angle between $l$ and $AC$, in radians?

We are given the following function $f$, which takes a list of integers and outputs another list of integers. (Note that here the list is zero-indexed.) \begin{tabular}{l} 1: \textbf{FUNCTION} $f(A)$ \\ 2: $\quad$ \textbf{FOR} $i=1,\ldots, \operatorname{length}(A)-1$: \\ 3: $\quad\quad$ $A[i]\leftarrow A[A[i]]$ \\ 4: $\quad\quad$ $A[0]\leftarrow A[0]-1$ \\ 5: $\quad$ \textbf{RETURN} $A$ \end{tabular} Suppose the list $B$ is equal to $[0,1,2,8,2,0,1,7,0]$. In how many entries do $B$ and $f(B)$ differ?
