Use the following description of a machine to solve the first 4 problems in the round.
A machine displays four digits: $0000$. There are two buttons: button $A$ moves all digits one position to the left and fills the rightmost position with $0$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $2340$), and button $B$ adds $11$ to the current number, displaying only the last four digits if the sum is greater than $9999$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $1245$, and changes $9998$ to $0009$). We can denote a sequence of moves by writing down the buttons pushed from left to right. A sequence of moves that outputs $2100$, for example, is $BABAA$.
[b]p1[/b]. Give a sequence of $17$ or less moves so that the machine displays $2020$.
[b]p2.[/b] Using the same machine, how many outputs are possible if you make at most three moves?
[b]p3.[/b] Button $ B$ now adds n to the four digit display, while button $ A$ remains the same. For how many positive integers $n \le 20$ (including $11$) can every possible four-digit output be reached?
[b]p4.[/b] Suppose the function of button $ A$ changes to: move all digits one position to the right and fill the leftmost position with $2$. Then, what is the minimum number of moves required for the machine to display $2020$, if it initially displays $0000$?

It continues by turning $60^o$ counterclockwise, and flies forward $14$ meters. Finally, the bee turns $120^o$ clockwise and flies another $14$ meters forward before finally finding a flower to pollinate. How far is the bee from its starting location in meters?

[b]p18.[/b] When Eric gets on the bus home, he notices his $ 12$-hour watch reads $03: 30$, but it isn’t working as expected. The second hand makes a full rotation in $4$ seconds, then makes another in $8$ seconds, then another in $ 12$ seconds, and so on until it makes a full rotation in $60$ seconds. Then it repeats this process, and again makes a full rotation in $4$ second, then $8$ seconds, etc. Meanwhile, the minute hand and hour hand continue to function as if every full rotation of the second hand represents $60$ seconds. When Eric gets off the bus $75$ minutes later, his watch reads $AB: CD$. What is $A + B + C + D$?

The chance that they arrive at any time in their respective time intervals is equally likely. The probability that they will meet at the airport can be expressed as $a/b$ where $a/b$ is a fraction written in simplest form. What is $a + b$?
