Alice, Bob, Charlie, Diana, Emma, and Fred sit in a circle, in that order, and each roll a six-sided die. Each person looks at his or her own roll, and also looks at the roll of either the person to the right or to the left, deciding at random. Then, at the same time, Alice, Bob, Charlie, Diana, Emma and Fred each state the expected sum of the dice rolls based on the information they have. All six people say different numbers; in particular, Alice, Bob, Charlie, and Diana say $19$, $22$, $21$, and $23$, respectively. Compute the product of the dice rolls.

One day Jason finishes his math homework early, and decides to take a jog through his neighborhood. While jogging, Jason trips over a leprechaun. After dusting himself off and apologizing to the odd little magical creature, Jason, thinking there is nothing unusual about the situation, starts jogging again. Immediately the leprechaun calls out, "hey, stupid, this is your only chance to win gold from a leprechaun!" Jason, while not particularly greedy, recognizes the value of gold. Thinking about his limited college savings, Jason approaches the leprechaun and asks about the opportunity. The leprechaun hands Jason a fair coin and tells him to flip it as many times as it takes to flip a head. For each tail Jason flips, the leprechaun promises one gold coin. If Jason flips a head right away, he wins nothing. If he first flips a tail, then a head, he wins one gold coin. If he's lucky and flips ten tails before the first head, he wins $\textit{ten gold coins.}$ What is the expected number of gold coins Jason wins at this game? $\textbf{(A) }0\hspace{14em}\textbf{(B) }\dfrac1{10}\hspace{13.5em}\textbf{(C) }\dfrac18$ $\textbf{(D) }\dfrac15\hspace{13.8em}\textbf{(E) }\dfrac14\hspace{14em}\textbf{(F) }\dfrac13$ $\textbf{(G) }\dfrac25\hspace{13.7em}\textbf{(H) }\dfrac12\hspace{14em}\textbf{(I) }\dfrac35$ $\textbf{(J) }\dfrac23\hspace{14em}\textbf{(K) }\dfrac45\hspace{14em}\textbf{(L) }1$ $\textbf{(M) }\dfrac54\hspace{13.5em}\textbf{(N) }\dfrac43\hspace{14em}\textbf{(O) }\dfrac32$ $\textbf{(P) }2\hspace{14.1em}\textbf{(Q) }3\hspace{14.2em}\textbf{(R) }4$ $\textbf{(S) }2007$

A row of 2021 balls is given. Pasha and Vova play a game, taking turns to perform moves; Pasha begins. On each turn a boy should paint a non-painted ball in one of the three available colors: red, yellow, or green (initially all balls are non-painted). When all the balls are colored, Pasha wins, if there are three consecutive balls of different colors; otherwise Vova wins. Who has a winning strategy?

Fix positive integers $n,j,k$.How many integer sequences are there of the form $1\le a_1<a_2<\ldots<a_k\le n$,where $a_{i+1}-a_i\ge j$ for all $1\le i\le k-1$.

Let the notation $\underline{ABC}$ denote the number compromised of the digits $A$, $B$, and $C$ with $0\leq A,B,C\leq9$. That is, $\underline{ABC}=100A+10B+C$ and $\underline{CCAAC}=10000C+1000C+100A+10A+C$. Now, if $(\underline{ABC})^2=\underline{CCAAC}$, where $A$, $B$, and $C$ are distinct nonzero digits, find the $3$ digit number $\underline{ABC}$.
