In a country named Fillip, there are three major cities called Alenda, Breda, Chenida. This country uses the unit of "FP". The distance between Alenda and Chenida is $100$ FP. Breda is $70$ FP from Alenda and $30$ FP from Chenida. Let us say that we take a road trip from Alenda to Chenida. After $2$ hours of driving, we are currently at $50$ FP away from Alenda and $50$ FP away from Chenida. How many FP are we away from Breda?

We say that a function \( f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) is morally odd if its graph is symmetric with respect to a point, that is, there exists \((x_0, y_0) \in \mathbb{R}^2\) such that if \((u, v) \in \{(x, f(x)) : x \in \mathbb{R}\}\), then \((2x_0 - u, 2y_0 - v) \in \{(x, f(x)) : x \in \mathbb{R}\}\). On the other hand, \( f \) is said to be morally even if its graph \(\{(x, f(x)) : x \in \mathbb{R}\}\) is symmetric with respect to some line (not necessarily vertical or horizontal). If \( f \) is morally even and morally odd, we say that \( f \) is parimpar.
(a) Let \( S \subset \mathbb{R} \) be a bounded set and \( f: S \to \mathbb{R} \) be an arbitrary function. Prove that there exists \( g: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) that is parimpar such that \( g(x) = f(x) \) for all \( x \in S \).
(b) Find all polynomials \( P \) with real coefficients such that the corresponding polynomial function \( P: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R} \) is parimpar.

Let $S$ be a set not empty of positive integers and $AB$ a segment with, initially, only points $A$ and $B$ colored by red. An operation consists of choosing two distinct points $X, Y$ colored already by red and $n\in S$ an integer, and painting in red the $n$ points $A_1, A_2,..., A_n$ of segment $XY$ such that $XA_1= A_1A_2= A_2A_3=...= A_{n-1}A_n= A_nY$ and $XA_1<XA_2<...<XA_n$. Find the least positive integer $m$ such exists a subset $S$ of $\{1,2,.., m\}$ such that, after a finite number of operations, we can paint in red the point $K$ in the segment $AB$ defined by $\frac{AK}{KB}= \frac{2709}{2022}$. Also, find the number of such subsets for such a value of $m$.

Justin chooses a number $n$ uniformly at random from the set of integers between $90$ and $99,$ inclusive. He then chooses a positive divisor $d$ of $n$ uniformly at random. Justin notices that $d$ and $n/d$ are relatively prime. If the probability that $n = 90$ can be expressed as $a/b$ for relatively prime positive integers, find $a + b.$

Each of a pair of opposite faces of a unit cube is marked by a dot. Each of another pair of opposite faces is marked by two dots. Each of the remaining two faces is marked by three dots. Eight such cubes are used to construct a $2\times 2 \times 2$ cube. Count the total number of dots on each of its six faces. Can we obtain six consecutive numbers?

For every positive integer $n$, let $s(n)$ be the sum of the exponents of $71$ and $97$ in the prime factorization of $n$; for example, $s(2021) = s(43 \cdot 47) = 0$ and $s(488977) = s(71^2 \cdot 97) = 3$. If we define $f(n)=(-1)^{s(n)}$, prove that the limit
\[ \lim_{n \to +\infty} \frac{f(1) + f(2) + \cdots+ f(n)}{n} \]
