Because J’s cheetahs are everywhere, they are now running away. A particularly unintelligent one starts to run in a $720$ mile loop at $80$ miles per hour. J immediately starts to chase after it, starting at the same point, at $10$ miles per hour at $12:00$ PM, but realizes one hour later that it would be more wise to turn around and run in the opposite direction in the loop, so he does this. Assuming both maintain a constant speed, at what time do J and the cheetah collide? Round to the nearest minute, and be sure to include AM or PM.

In certain country, the coins have the following values: $2^0, 2^1, 2^2,\dots 2^{10}$. A cash machine has $1000$ coins of each value and give the money using each coin(of each value) at most once. The customers order all the positive integers: $1,2,3,4,5,\dots$ (in this order) in coins.
a) Determine the first integer, such that the cash machine cannot provide.
b) In the moment that the first customer can not be attended, by the lack of coins, what are the coins which are not available in the cash machine?
