Let $c_n$ be a sequence which is defined recursively as follows: $c_0 = 1$, $c_{2n+1} = c_n$ for $n \geq 0$, and $c_{2n} = c_n + c_{n-2^e}$ for $n > 0$ where $e$ is the maximal nonnegative integer such that $2^e$ divides $n$. Prove that \[\sum_{i=0}^{2^n-1} c_i = \frac{1}{n+2} {2n+2 \choose n+1}.\]

Alien Tanvi has a favorite number, but somehow she’s managed to forget it. She remembers that it can be written as $x^2+\tfrac{1}{x^2},$ where $x$ is a real number satisfying $x^4+4x^2+\tfrac{4}{x^2}+\tfrac{1}{x^4}=523.$ What is Alien Tanvi's favorite number?

Roy bought a new battery-gasoline hybrid car. On a trip the car ran exclusively on its battery for the first 40 miles, then ran exclusively on gasoline for the rest of the trip, using gasoline at a rate of 0.02 gallons per mile. On the whole trip he averaged 55 miles per gallon. How long was the trip in miles? $\textbf{(A)}\,140 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\,240 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\,440 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\,640 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\,840$

2015 Tournament of Towns, 6

An Emperor invited $2015$ wizards to a festival. Each of the wizards knows who of them is good and who is evil, however the Emperor doesn’t know this. A good wizard always tells the truth, while an evil wizard can tell the truth or lie at any moment. The Emperor gives each wizard a card with a single question, maybe different for different wizards, and after that listens to the answers of all wizards which are either “yes” or “no”. Having listened to all the answers, the Emperor expels a single wizard through a magic door which shows if this wizard is good or evil. Then the Emperor makes new cards with questions and repeats the procedure with the remaining wizards, and so on. The Emperor may stop at any moment, and after this the Emperor may expel or not expel a wizard. Prove that the Emperor can expel all the evil wizards having expelled at most one good wizard.

There are $2022$ black balls numbered $1$ to $2022$ and $2022$ white balls numbered $1$ to $2022$ as well. There are also $1011$ black boxes and white boxes each. In each box we put two balls that are the same color as the the box. Prove that no matter how the balls are distributed, we can always pick one ball from each box such that the $2022$ balls we chose have all the numbers from $1$ to $2022$.
