2017 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 8

Marisa has a collection of $2^8-1=255$ distinct nonempty subsets of $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}$. For each step she takes two subsets chosen uniformly at random from the collection, and replaces them with either their union or their intersection, chosen randomly with equal probability. (The collection is allowed to contain repeated sets.) She repeats this process $2^8-2=254$ times until there is only one set left in the collection. What is the expected size of this set?

Let $n$ be a positive integer. We start with $n$ piles of pebbles, each initially containing a single pebble. One can perform moves of the following form: choose two piles, take an equal number of pebbles from each pile and form a new pile out of these pebbles. Find (in terms of $n$) the smallest number of nonempty piles that one can obtain by performing a finite sequence of moves of this form.

Let $a, n \in \mathbb{Z}^{*}_{+}$. $a$ is defined inductively in the base $n$-[i]recursive[/i]. We first write $a$ in the base $n$, e.g., as a sum of terms of the form $k_tn^t$, with $0 \le k_t < n$. For each exponent $t$, we write $t$ in the base $n$-[i]recursive[/i], until all the numbers in the representation are less than $n$. For instance, $1309 = 3^6 + 2.3^5 + 1.3^4 + 1.3^2 + 1.3 + 1$ $ = 3^{2.3} + 2.3^{3+2} + 1.3^{3+1} + 1.3^2 + 1$ Let $x_1 \in \mathbb{Z}$ arbitrary. We define $x_n$ recursively, as following: if $x_{n-1} > 0$, we write $x_{n-1}$ in the base $n$-[i]recursive[/i] and we replace all the numbers $n$ for $n+1$ (even the exponents!), so we obtain the successor of $x_n$. If $x_{n-1} = 0$, then $x_n = 0$. Example: $x_1 = 2^{2^{2} + 2 + 1} + 2^{2+1} + 2 + 1$ $\Rightarrow x_2 = 3^{3^{3} + 3 + 1} + 3^{3+1} + 3$ $\Rightarrow x_3 = 4^{4^{4} + 4 + 1} + 4^{4+1} + 3$ $\Rightarrow x_4 = 5^{5^{5} + 5 + 1} + 5^{5+1} + 2$ $\Rightarrow x_5 = 6^{6^{6} + 6 + 1} + 6^{6+1} + 1$ $\Rightarrow x_6 = 7^{7^{7} + 7 + 1} + 7^{7+1}$ $\Rightarrow x_7 = 8^{8^{8} + 8 + 1} + 7.8^8 + 7.8^7 + 7.8^6 + ... + 7$ $.$ $.$ $.$ Prove that $\exists N : x_N = 0$.
