Vasya has a calculator that works with pairs of numbers. The calculator knows hoe to make a pair $(x+y,x)$ or a pair $(2x+y+1,x+y+1)$ from a pair $(x,y).$ At the beginning, the pair $(1,1)$ is presented on the calculator. Prove that for any natural $n$ there is exactly one pair $(n,k)$ that can be obtained using a calculator.

Lason Jiu gives a problem to Sick Nong and Ayush Agrawal. Sick takes 6 minutes to solve the problem, while Ayush takes 9 minutes. Sick has a 1/3 chance of solving correctly and Ayush has a 2/3 chance of solving correctly. If they solved it incorrectly, they resume solving with the same time and accuracy. Lason gives a rubber chicken to the first person who solves it correctly. If Sick and Ayush solve the question at the same time, Lason checks Sick's work first. The probability that Ayush wins the rubber chicken can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$. Find $p+q$. [i]2022 CCA Math Bonanza Individual Round #8[/i]

Thaddeus is given a $2013 \times 2013$ array of integers each between $1$ and $2013$, inclusive. He is allowed two operations: 1. Choose a row, and subtract $1$ from each entry. 2. Chooses a column, and add $1$ to each entry. He would like to get an array where all integers are divisible by $2013$. On how many arrays is this possible?

For a positive integer $a$, $a'$ is the integer obtained by the following method: the decimal writing of $a'$ is the inverse of the decimal writing of $a$ (the decimal writing of $a'$ can begin by zeros, but not the one of $a$); for instance if $a=2370$, $a'=0732$, that is $732$. Let $a_{1}$ be a positive integer, and $(a_{n})_{n \geq 1}$ the sequence defined by $a_{1}$ and the following formula for $n \geq 1$: \[a_{n+1}=a_{n}+a'_{n}. \] Can $a_{7}$ be prime?
