For all $n>1$ let $f(n)$ be the sum of the smallest factor of $n$ that is not 1 and $n$ . The computer prints $f(2),f(3),f(4),...$ with order:$4,6,6,...$ ( Because $f(2)=2+2=4,f(3)=3+3=6,f(4)=4+2=6$ etc.). In this infinite sequence, how many times will be $ 2015$ and $ 2016$ written? (Explain your answer)

Let $\mathbb{N}$ denote the set of positive integers. Fix a function $f: \mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{N}$ and for any $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ define $$\Delta(m,n)=\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(n)\text{ times}}(m)\ldots))-\underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{f(m)\text{ times}}(n)\ldots)).$$ Suppose $\Delta(m,n) \neq 0$ for any distinct $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$. Show that $\Delta$ is unbounded, meaning that for any constant $C$ there exists $m,n \in \mathbb{N}$ with $\left|\Delta(m,n)\right| > C$.

Point $ O $ is the center of the circumscribed circle of an acute triangle $ Abc $. A certain circle passes through the points $ B $ and $ C $ and intersects sides $ AB $ and $ AC $ of a triangle. On its arc lying inside the triangle, points $ D $ and $ E $ are chosen so that the segments $ BD $ and $ CE $ pass through the point $ O $. Perpendicular $ DD_1 $ to $ AB $ side and perpendicular $ EE_1 $ to $ AC $ side intersect at $ M $. Prove that the points $ A $, $ M $ and $ O $ lie on the same straight line.

Aileen plays badminton where she and her opponent stand on opposite sides of a net and attempt to bat a birdie back and forth over the net. A player wins a point if their opponent fails to bat the birdie over the net. When Aileen is the server (the first player to try to hit the birdie over the net), she wins a point with probability $\frac{9}{10}$ . Each time Aileen successfully bats the birdie over the net, her opponent, independent of all previous hits, returns the birdie with probability $\frac{3}{4}$ . Each time Aileen bats the birdie, independent of all previous hits, she returns the birdie with probability $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
