For an integer $n\geq 1$ let $a(n)$ denote the total number of carries which arise when adding $2017$ and $n\cdot 2017$. The first few values are given by $a(1)=1$, $a(2)=1$, $a(3)=0$, which can be seen from the following:
\begin{align*}
001 &&001 && 000 \\
2017 &&4034 &&6051 \\
+2017 &&+2017 &&+2017\\
=4034 &&=6051 &&=8068\\
\end{align*}
Prove that
$$a(1)+a(2)+...+a(10^{2017}-1)=10\cdot\frac{10^{2017}-1}{9}.$$

Let $S$ be a set of positive integers satisfying the following two conditions:
• For each positive integer $n$, at least one of $n, 2n, \dots, 100n$ is in $S$.
• If $a_1, a_2, b_1, b_2$ are positive integers such that $\gcd(a_1a_2, b_1b_2) = 1$ and $a_1b_1, a_2b_2 \in S,$ then

Note: $S$ has natural density $r$ if $\tfrac{1}{n}|S \cap {1, \dots, n}|$ approaches $r$ as $n$ approaches $\infty$.

There are $n$ cards such that for each $i=1,2, \cdots n$, there are exactly one card labeled $i$. Initially the cards are piled with increasing order from top to bottom. There are two operations:
[list]
[*] $A$ : One can take the top card of the pile and move it to the bottom;
[*] $B$ : One can remove the top card from the pile.
[/list]
The operation $ABBABBABBABB \cdots $ is repeated until only one card gets left. Let $L(n)$ be the labeled number on the final pile. Find all integers $k$ such that $L(3k)=k$.

There are given points with integer coordinate $(m,n)$ such that $1\leq m,n\leq 4$. Two players, Ana and Ben, are playing a game: First Ana color one of the coordinates with red one, then she pass the turn to Ben who color one of the remaining coordinates with yellow one, then this process they repeate again one after other. The game win the first player who can create a rectangle with same color of vertices and the length of sides are positive integer numbers, otherwise the game is a tie. Does there exist a strategy for any of the player to win the game?
