The real function $f$ is defined for $\forall$ $x\in \mathbb{R}$ and $f(0)=0$. Also $f(9+x)=f(9-x)$ and $f(x-10)=f(-x-10)$ for $\forall$ $x\in \mathbb{R}$. What’s the least number of zeros $f$ can have in the interval $[0;2014]$? Does this change, if $f$ is also continuous?

Ryan stands on the bottom-left square of a 2017 by 2017 grid of squares, where each square is colored either black, gray, or white according to the pattern as depicted to the right. Each second he moves either one square up, one square to the right, or both one up and to the right, selecting between these three options uniformly and independently. Noting that he begins on a black square, find the probability that Ryan is still on a black square after 2017 seconds.

Given the linear fractional transformation of $x$ into $f_1(x)=\dfrac{2x-1}{x+1}$. Define $f_{n+1}(x)=f_1(f_n(x))$ for $n=1,2,3,\cdots$. Assuming that $f_{35}(x)=f_5(x)$, it follows that $f_{28}(x)$ is equal to

There is an infinitely tall tetrahedral stack of spheres where each row of the tetrahedron consists of a triangular arrangement of spheres, as shown below. There is $1$ sphere in the top row (which we will call row $0$), $3$ spheres in row $1$, $6$ spheres in row $2$, $10$ spheres in row $3$, etc. The top-most sphere in row $0$ is assigned the number $1$. We then assign each other sphere the sum of the number(s) assigned to the sphere(s) which touch it in the row directly above it. Find a simplified expression in terms of $n$ for the sum of the numbers assigned to each sphere from row $0$ to row $n$.

There are $n$ sticks which have distinct integer length. Suppose that it's possible to form a non-degenerate triangle from any $3$ distinct sticks among them. It's also known that there are sticks of lengths $5$ and $12$ among them. What's the largest possible value of $n$ under such conditions?

For a positive integer $n$, let $\Omega(n)$ denote the number of prime factors of $n$, counting multiplicity. Let $f_1(n)$ and $f_3(n)$ denote the sum of positive divisors $d|n$ where $\Omega(d)\equiv 1\pmod 4$ and $\Omega(d)\equiv 3\pmod 4$, respectively. For example, $f_1(72) = 72 + 2 + 3 = 77$ and $f_3(72) = 8+12+18 = 38$. Determine $f_3(6^{2020}) - f_1(6^{2020})$.
