The infinite sequence $a_0,a _1, a_2, \dots$ of (not necessarily distinct) integers has the following properties: $0\le a_i \le i$ for all integers $i\ge 0$, and \[\binom{k}{a_0} + \binom{k}{a_1} + \dots + \binom{k}{a_k} = 2^k\] for all integers $k\ge 0$. Prove that all integers $N\ge 0$ occur in the sequence (that is, for all $N\ge 0$, there exists $i\ge 0$ with $a_i=N$).

Let $f_1,f_2,\cdots ,f_{10}$ be bijections on $\mathbb{Z}$ such that for each integer $n$, there is some composition $f_{\ell_1}\circ f_{\ell_2}\circ \cdots \circ f_{\ell_m}$ (allowing repetitions) which maps $0$ to $n$. Consider the set of $1024$ functions \[ \mathcal{F}=\{f_1^{\epsilon_1}\circ f_2^{\epsilon_2}\circ \cdots \circ f_{10}^{\epsilon_{10}}\} \] where $\epsilon _i=0$ or $1$ for $1\le i\le 10.\; (f_i^{0}$ is the identity function and $f_i^1=f_i)$. Show that if $A$ is a finite set of integers then at most $512$ of the functions in $\mathcal{F}$ map $A$ into itself.
