Let $S$ be a set with six elements. Let $P$ be the set of all subsets of $S.$ Subsets $A$ and $B$ of $S$, not necessarily distinct, are chosen independently and at random from $P$. the probability that $B$ is contained in at least one of $A$ or $S-A$ is $\frac{m}{n^{r}},$ where $m$, $n$, and $r$ are positive integers, $n$ is prime, and $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime. Find $m+n+r.$ (The set $S-A$ is the set of all elements of $S$ which are not in $A.$)

Let $f(n)$ be the number of ones that occur in the decimal representations of all the numbers from 1 to $n$. For example, this gives $f(8)=1$, $f(9)=1$, $f(10)=2$, $f(11)=4$, and $f(12)=5$. Determine the value of $f(10^{100})$.

A club of $11$ people has a committee. At every meeting of the committee a new committee is formed which differs by $1$ person from its predecessor (either one new member is included or one member is removed). The committee must always have at least three members and , according to the club rules, the committee membership at any stage must differ from its membership at every previous stage. Is it possible that after some time all possible compositions
of the committee will have already occurred?

$A$ and $B$ play a game, given an integer $N$, $A$ writes down $1$ first, then every player sees the last number written and if it is $n$ then in his turn he writes $n+1$ or $2n$, but his number cannot be bigger than $N$. The player who writes $N$ wins. For which values of $N$ does $B$ win?

For each $M$ m-dimensional closed $C^{\infty}$ set , assign a $G(m)$ in some euclidean space $\mathbb{R}^{q}$. Denote by $\mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^{q}$ a $q$-dimensional real projecive space. A$G(M) \subseteq \times \mathbb{R} \mathbb{P}^{q}$. The set consists of $(x,e)$ pairs for which $x \in M \subseteq \mathbb {P}^{q} $ and $e \subseteq \mathbb {R}^{q+1}= \mathbb{R}^{q} \times \mathbb{R}$ and $\mathrm{a} (0, \ldots,0,1) \in \mathbb{R}^{q+1}$ in a stretched $(m+1)$-dimensional linear subspace.

Let \(n \geq 5\) be integer. The convex polygon \(P = A_{1} A_{2} \ldots A_{n}\) is bicentric, that is, it has an inscribed and circumscribed circle. Set \(A_{i+n}=A_{i}\) to every integer \(i\) (that is, all indices are taken modulo \(n\)). Suppose that for all \(i, 1 \leq i \leq n\), the rays \(A_{i-1} A_{i}\) and \(A_{i+2} A_{i+1}\) meet at the point \(B_{i}\). Let \(\omega_{i}\) be the circumcircle of \(B_{i} A_{i} A_{i+1}\). Prove that there is a circle tangent to all \(n\) circles \(\omega_{i}\), \(1 \leq i \leq n\).
