The Ababi alphabet consists of letters A and B, and the words in the Ababi language are precisely those that can be formed by the following two rules: 1) A is a word. 2) If s is a word, then $ s \oplus s$ and $ s \oplus \bar{s}$ are words, where $ \bar{s}$ denotes a word that is obtained by replacing all letters A in s with letters B, and vice versa; and $ x \oplus y$ denotes the concatenation of x and y. The Ululu alphabet consists also of letters A and B and the words in the Ululu language are precisely those that can be formed by the following two rules: 1) A is a word. 2) If s is a word, $ s \oplus s$ and $ s \oplus \bar{s}$ are words, where $ \bar{s}$ is defined as above and $ x \oplus y$ is a word obtained from words x and y of equal length by writing the letters of x and y alternatingly, starting from the first letter of x. Prove that the two languages consist of the same words.

In Yang's number theory class, Michael K, Michael M, and Michael R take a series of tests. Afterwards, Yang makes the following observations about the test scores: (a) Michael K had an average test score of $90$, Michael M had an average test score of $91$, and Michael R had an average test score of $92$. (b) Michael K took more tests than Michael M, who in turn took more tests than Michael R. (c) Michael M got a higher total test score than Michael R, who in turn got a higher total test score than Michael K. (The total test score is the sum of the test scores over all tests) What is the least number of tests that Michael K, Michael M, and Michael R could have taken combined? [i]Proposed by James Lin[/i]
