Then the bee chooses an unpainted point and paints it red and then the fly chooses an unpainted one and paints it blue and so they alternate.

A table tennis tournament has $101$ contestants, where each pair of contestants will play each other exactly once. In each match, the player who gets $11$ points first is the winner, and the other the loser. At the end of the tournament, it turns out that there exist matches with scores $11$ to $0$ and $11$ to $10$. Show that there exists 3 contestants $A,B,C$ such that the score of the losers in the matches between $A,B$ and $A,C$ are equal, but different from the score of the loser in the match between $B,C$.

Let $a_1,a_2,a_3,\ldots$ be an infinite sequence where for all positive integers $i$, $a_i$ is chosen to be a random positive integer between $1$ and $2016$, inclusive. Let $S$ be the set of all positive integers $k$ such that for all positive integers $j<k$, $a_j\neq a_k$. (So $1\in S$; $2\in S$ if and only if $a_1\neq a_2$; $3\in S$ if and only if $a_1\neq a_3$ and $a_2\neq a_3$; and so on.) In simplest form, let $\dfrac{p}{q}$ be the expected number of positive integers $m$ such that $m$ and $m+1$ are in $S$. Compute $pq$.

A book is published in three volumes, the pages being numbered from $1$ onwards. The page numbers are continued from the first volume to the second volume to the third. The number of pages in the second volume is $50$ more than that in the first volume, and the number pages in the third volume is one and a half times that in the second. The sum of the page numbers on the first pages of the three volumes is $1709$. If $n$ is the last page number, what is the largest prime factor of $n$?
