On the planet Automory, there are infinitely many inhabitants. Every Automorian loves exactly one Automorian and honours exactly one Automorian. Additionally, the following can be noticed:
$\bullet$ each Automorian is loved by some Automorian;
$\bullet$ if Automorian $A$ loves Automorian $B$, then also all Automorians honouring $A$ love $B$,
$\bullet$if Automorian $A$ honours Automorian $B$, then also all Automorians loving $A$ honour $B$.
Is it correct to claim that every Automorian honours and loves the same Automorian?

The number $\frac{1}{2}$ is written on a blackboard. For a real number $c$ with $0 < c < 1$, a [i]$c$-splay[/i] is an operation in which every number $x$ on the board is erased and replaced by the two numbers $cx$ and $1-c(1-x)$. A [i]splay-sequence[/i] $C = (c_1,c_2,c_3,c_4)$ is an application of a $c_i$-splay for $i=1,2,3,4$ in that order, and its [i]power[/i] is defined by $P(C) = c_1c_2c_3c_4$.
Let $S$ be the set of splay-sequences which yield the numbers $\frac{1}{17}, \frac{2}{17}, \dots, \frac{16}{17}$ on the blackboard in some order. If $\sum_{C \in S} P(C) = \tfrac mn$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m+n$.
