Consider the sequence $\{a_n\}$ defined so that $a_n$ is the leftmost digit of $2^n$. The first few terms of this sequence are $1,2,4,8,1,3,6,\dots$. For how many $0\le n\le100000$ is $a_n=1$? If $C$ is the correct answer and $A$ is your answer, then your score will be rounded up from $\max\left(0,25-\tfrac{1}{6}\sqrt{|A-C|}\right)$.

We are given a circle $ k$ and nonparallel tangents $ t_1,t_2$ at points $ P_1,P_2$ on $ k$, respectively. Lines $ t_1$ and $ t_2$ meet at $ A_0$. For a point $ A_3$ on the smaller arc $ P_1 P_2,$ the tangent $ t_3$ to $ k$ at $ P_3$ meets $ t_1$ at $ A_1$ and $ t_2$ at $ A_2$. How must $ P_3$ be chosen so that the triangle $ A_0 A_1 A_2$ has maximum area?

Let \( n \geq 2 \) be an integer. Two players, Alice and Bob, play the following game on the complete graph \( K_n \): They take turns to perform operations, where each operation consists of coloring one or two edges that have not been colored yet. The game terminates if at any point there exists a triangle whose three edges are all colored.
Prove that there exists a positive number \(\varepsilon\), Alice has a strategy such that, no matter how Bob colors the edges, the game terminates with the number of colored edges not exceeding
\[
\left( \frac{1}{4} - \varepsilon \right) n^2 + n.
