Let $S$ be the graph of $y=x^3$, and $T$ be the graph of $y=\sqrt[3]{y}$. Let $S^*$ be $S$ rotated around the origin $15$ degrees clockwise, and $T^*$ be T rotated around the origin 45 degrees counterclockwise. $S^*$ and $T^*$ will intersect at a point in the first quadrant a distance $M+\sqrt{N}$ from the origin where $M$ and $N$ are positive integers. Find $M+N$.

A subset $Q \subset H^s(\mathbb{R})$ is said to be equicontinuous if for any $\varepsilon>0$, $\exists \delta>0$ such that
\[\|f(x+h)-f(x)\|_{H^s}<\varepsilon, \quad \forall \vert h\vert<\delta, \quad f \in Q.\]

There is a set of $ n$ coins with distinct integer weights $ w_1, w_2, \ldots , w_n$. It is known that if any coin with weight $ w_k$, where $ 1 \leq k \leq n$, is removed from the set, the remaining coins can be split into two groups of the same weight. (The number of coins in the two groups can be different.) Find all $ n$ for which such a set of coins exists.

Let $T=\text{TNFTPP}$. Consider the sequence $(1, 2007)$. Inserting the difference between $1$ and $2007$ between them, we get the sequence $(1, 2006, 2007)$. Repeating the process of inserting differences between numbers, we get the sequence $(1, 2005, 2006, 1, 2007)$. A third iteration of this process results in $(1, 2004, 2005, 1, 2006, 2005, 1, 2006, 2007)$. A total of $2007$ iterations produces a sequence with $2^{2007}+1$ terms. If the integer $4T$ (that is, $4$ times the integer $T$) appears a total of $N$ times among these $2^{2007}+1$ terms, find the remainder when $N$ gets divided by $2007$.

A father, a mother and son hold a family tournament, playing a two person board game with no ties. The tournament rules are:
(i) The weakest player chooses the first two contestants.
(ii) The winner of any game plays the next game against the person left out.
(iii) The first person to win two games wins the tournament.
The father is the weakest player, the son the strongest, and it is assumed that any player's probability of winning an individual game from another player does not change during the tournament.
Prove that the father's optimal strategy for winning the tournament is to play the first game with his wife.
