Let $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of real numbers. We define a sequence of real functions $(f_n)_{n \geq 0}$ such that for all $x \in \mathbb{R}$, the following holds:
\[
f_0(x) = 1 \quad \text{and} \quad f_n(x) = \int_{a_n}^{x} f_{n-1}(t) \, dt \quad \text{for } n \geq 1.
\]
Find all possible sequences $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ such that $f_n(0) = 0$ for all $n \geq 2$.\\

A homogeneous solid body is made by joining a base of a circular cylinder of height $h$ and radius $r,$ and the base of a hemisphere of radius $r.$ This body is placed with the hemispherical end on a horizontal table, with the axis of the cylinder in a vertical position, and then slightly oscillated. It is intuitively evident that if $r$ is large as compared to $h$, the equilibrium will be stable; but if $r$ is small compared to $h$, the equilibrium will be unstable. What is the critical value of the ratio $r\slash h$ which enables the body to rest in neutral equilibrium in any position?

Let the [i]square decomposition[/i] of a number be defined as the sequence of numbers given by the following algorithm. Given a positive integer $n$, add the largest possible perfect square that is less than or equal to $n$ to a sequence, and then subtract that number from $n$. Repeat as many times as necessary until your current $n$ is $0$. So for example, the square decomposition of $60$ would be $49, 9, 1, 1$. Define the size of a square decomposition to be the number of numbers in the sequence. Say that the maximal size of a square decomposition of a number in the range $[1, 2020]$ is $m$. Find the largest number in the range $[1, 2020]$ that has a square decomposition of size $m$.

Teams $T_1$, $T_2$, $T_3$, and $T_4$ are in the playoffs. In the semifinal matches, $T_1$ plays $T_4$ and $T_2$ plays $T_3$. The winners of those two matches will play each other in the final match to determine the champion. When $T_i$ plays $T_j$, the probability that $T_i$ wins is $\frac{i}{i+j}$, and the outcomes of all the matches are independent. The probability that $T_4$ will be the champion is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

The period of a given pendulum on a planet of radius $R$ is constant (unchanged) as we go from the surface of the planet down to radius $a$, where $R > a$. The planet has mass density evenly distributed at any radius $ r < a $. This density is $\rho_0$. Find the total mass of the planet. Express your answer in terms of $\rho_0$, $a$, $R$, the period of the pendulum, $T$, the length of the pendulum string, $L$, and other constants, as necessary.

[b]p1.[/b] A bus leaves San Mateo with $n$ fairies on board. When it stops in San Francisco, each fairy gets off, but for each fairy that gets off, $n$ fairies get on. Next it stops in Oakland where $6$ times as many fairies get off as there were in San Mateo. Finally the bus arrives at Berkeley, where the remaining $391$ fairies get off. How many fairies were on the bus in San Mateo?

[b]p5.[/b] Angela has $128$ coins. $127$ of them have the same weight, but the one remaining coin is heavier than the others. Angela has a balance that she can use to compare the weight of two collections of coins against each other (that is, the balance will not tell Angela the weight of a collection of coins, but it will say which of two collections is heavier). What is the minumum number of weighings Angela must perform to guarantee she can determine which coin is heavier?
