Three distinct points $A$, $B$, and $N$ are marked on the line $l$, with $B$ lying between $A$ and $N$. For an arbitrary angle $\alpha \in (0,\frac{\pi}{2})$, points $C$ and $D$ are marked in the plane on the same side of $l$ such that $N$, $C$, and $D$ are collinear; $\angle NAD = \angle NBC = \alpha$; and $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ are concyclic.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Bernardo and Silvia take turns writing and erasing numbers on a blackboard as follows. Bernardo starts by writing the smallest perfect square with $k+1$ digits. Every time Bernardo writes a number, Silvia erases the last $k$ digits of it. Bernardo then writes the next perfect square, Silvia erases the last $k$ digits of it, and this process continues until the last two numbers that remain on the board differ by at least $2$. Let $f(k)$ be the smallest positive integer not written on the board. For example, if $k = 1$, then the numbers that Bernardo writes are $16$, $25$, $36$, $49$, and $64$, and the numbers showing on the board after Silvia erases are $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, and $6$, and thus $f(1) = 5$. What is the sum of the digits of $f(2) + f(4) + f(6) + \cdots + f(2016)$? $\textbf{(A) } 7986 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 8002 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 8030 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 8048 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 8064$

Amandine and Brennon play a turn-based game, with Amadine starting. On their turn, a player must select a positive integer which cannot be represented as a sum of multiples of any of the previously selected numbers. For example, if $3, 5$ have been selected so far, only $1, 2, 4, 7$ are available to be picked; if only $3$ has been selected so far, all numbers not divisible by three are eligible. A player loses immediately if they select the integer $1$. Call a number $n$ [i]feminist[/i] if $\gcd(n, 6) = 1$ and if Amandine wins if she starts with $n$. Compute the sum of the [i]feminist[/i] numbers less than $40$. [i]Proposed by Ashwin Sah[/i]
