[b]p3. [/b]A train travels from Berkeley to San Francisco under a tunnel of length $10$ kilometers, and then returns to Berkeley using a bridge of length $7$ kilometers.

[b]p4.[/b] Given a string consisting of the characters A, C, G, U, its reverse complement is the string obtained by first reversing the string and then replacing A’s with U’s, C’s with G’s, G’s with C’s, and U’s with A’s. For example, the reverse complement of UAGCAC is GUGCUA. A string is a palindrome if it’s the same as its reverse. A string is called self-conjugate if it’s the same as its reverse complement. For example, UAGGAU is a palindrome and UAGCUA is self-conjugate. How many six letter strings with just the characters A, C, G (no U’s) are either palindromes or self-conjugate?

Each day for four days, Linda traveled for one hour at a speed that resulted in her traveling one mile in an integer number of minutes. Each day after the first, her speed decreased so that the number of minutes to travel one mile increased by 5 minutes over the preceding day. Each of the four days, her distance traveled was also an integer number of miles. What was the total number of miles for the four trips?

$n$ cars are racing. At first they have a particular order. At each moment a car may overtake another car. No two overtaking actions occur at the same time, and except moments a car is passing another, the cars always have an order.
A set of overtaking actions is called "small" if any car overtakes at most once.
A set of overtaking actions is called "complete" if any car overtakes exactly once.
If $F$ is the set of all possible orders of the cars after a small set of overtaking actions and $G$ is the set of all possible orders of the cars after a complete set of overtaking actions, prove that
\[\mid F\mid=2\mid G\mid\]

For some positive integer $n,$ Elmo writes down the equation
\[x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n=x_1+x_2+\dots+x_n.\]
Elmo inserts at least one $f$ to the left side of the equation and adds parentheses to create a valid functional equation. For example, if $n=3,$ Elmo could have created the equation
\[f(x_1+f(f(x_2)+x_3))=x_1+x_2+x_3.\]
Cookie Monster comes up with a function $f: \mathbb{Q}\to\mathbb{Q}$ which is a solution to Elmo's functional equation. (In other words, Elmo's equation is satisfied for all choices of $x_1,\dots,x_n\in\mathbb{Q})$. Is it possible that there is no integer $k$ (possibly depending on $f$) such that $f^k(x)=x$ for all $x$?

$1)$ For any two friends $X'$ and $X''$, we have $t(X') \neq t(X''),$
$2)$ For every contestant $X$, the set $\{ t(Y) : Y \text{ is a friend of } X \}$ consists of consecutive integers.
