1. Given $n \geq 1$, let $A_{n}$ denote the set of the first $n$ positive integers. We say that a bijection $f: A_{n} \rightarrow A_{n}$ has a hump at $m \in A_{n} \backslash\{1, n\}$ if $f(m)>f(m+1)$ and $f(m)>f(m-1)$. We say that $f$ has a hump at 1 if $f(1)>f(2)$, and $f$ has a hump at $n$ if $f(n)>f(n-1)$. Let $P_{n}$ be the probability that a bijection $f: A_{n} \rightarrow A_{n}$, when selected uniformly at random, has exactly one hump. For how many positive integers $n \leq 2020$ is $P_{n}$ expressible as a unit fraction?

We define the ridiculous numbers recursively as follows: [list=a] [*]1 is a ridiculous number. [*]If $a$ is a ridiculous number, then $\sqrt{a}$ and $1+\sqrt{a}$ are also ridiculous numbers. [/list] A closed interval $I$ is ``boring'' if [list] [*]$I$ contains no ridiculous numbers, and [*]There exists an interval $[b,c]$ containing $I$ for which $b$ and $c$ are both ridiculous numbers. [/list] The smallest non-negative $l$ such that there does not exist a boring interval with length $l$ can be represented in the form $\dfrac{a + b\sqrt{c}}{d}$ where $a, b, c, d$ are integers, $\gcd(a, b, d) = 1$, and no integer square greater than 1 divides $c$.
