The following picture illustrates the model of the Tháp Rùa (The Central Tower in Hanoi), which consists of $3$ levels. For the first and second levels, each has $10$ doorways among which $3$ doorways are located at the front, $3$ at the back, $2$ on the right side and $2$ on the left side. The third level is on the top of the tower model and has no doorways. The front of the tower model is signified by a circle symbol on the top level (Figure). We paint the tower model with three colors: Blue, Yellow and Brown by fulfilling the following requirements: (a) The top level is painted with only one color. (b) The $3$ doorways at the front on the second level are painted with the same color. (c) The $3$ doorways at the front on the first level are painted with the same color. (d) Each of the remaining $14$ doorways is painted with one of the three colors in such a way that any two adjacent doorways with a common side on the same level, including the pairs at the same corners, are painted with different colors. How many ways are there to paint the first level? How many ways are there to paint the entire tower model?

Ben writes the string $$\underbrace{111\ldots 11}_{2020 \text{ digits}}$$on a blank piece of paper. Next, in between every two consecutive digits, he inserts either a plus sign $(+)$ or a multiplication sign $(\times)$. He then computes the expression using standard order of operations. Find the number of possible distinct values that Ben could have as a result. [i]Proposed by Taiki Aiba[/i]

The game of backgammon has a "doubling" cube, which is like a standard 6-faced die except that its faces are inscribed with the numbers 2, 4, 8, 16, 32, and 64, respectively. After rolling the doubling cube four times at random, we let $a$ be the value of the first roll, $b$ be the value of the second roll, $c$ be the value of the third roll, and $d$ be the value of the fourth roll. What is the probability that $\frac{a + b}{c + d}$ is the average of $\frac{a}{c}$ and $\frac{b}{d}$ ?
