A coin is tossed $n$ times, and the outcome is written in the form ($a_1,a_2,...,a_n$), where $a_i = 1$ or $2$ depending on whether the result of the $i$-th toss is the head or the tail, respectively. Set $b_j = a_1 +a_2 +...+a_j$ for $j = 1,2,...,n$, and let $p(n)$ be the probability that the sequence $b_1,b_2,...,b_n$ contains the number $n$. Express $p(n)$ in terms of $p(n-1)$ and $p(n-2)$.

You are walking along a road of constant width with sidewalks on each side. You can only walk on the sidewalks or cross the road perpendicular to the sidewalk. Coming up on a turn, you realize that you are on the “outside” of the turn; i.e., you are taking the longer way around the turn. The turn is a circular arc. Assuming that your destination is on the same side of the road as you are currently, let $\theta$ be the smallest turn angle, in radians, that would justify crossing the road and then crossing back after the turn to take the shorter total path to your destination. What is $\lfloor 100 \cdot \theta \rfloor$ ?

Fathers childhood lasted for one sixth part of his life, and he married one $8$th after that and he immediately left to army. When one $12$th of his life passed, father returned from the army and $5$ years after he got a son. Son who lived for one half of fathers years, died $4$ years before his father. How many years lived his father, and how many years he had when his son was born?
