There are 2021 light bulbs in a row, labeled 1 through 2021, each with an on/off switch. They all start in the off position when 1011 people walk by. The first person flips the switch on every bulb; the second person flips the switch on every 3rd bulb (bulbs 3, 6, etc.); the third person flips the switch on every 5th bulb; and so on. In general, the $k$th person flips the switch on every $(2k - 1)$th light bulb, starting with bulb $2k - 1$. After all 1011 people have gone by, how many light bulbs are on?

Ari the Archer is shooting at an abnormal target. The target consists of $100$ concentric rings, each of width $1$, so that the total radius of the target is $100$. The point value of a given ring of the target is equal to its area (so getting a bull's eye would be worth $\pi$ points, but hitting on the outer ring would give $199\pi$ points). Given that Ari hits any point on the target uniformly at random, what is his expected score? [i]2017 CCA Math Bonanza Individual Round #7[/i]

2004 computers make up a network using several cables. If for a subset $S$ in the set of all computers, there isn't a cable that connects two computers in $S$, $S$ is called independant. One lets the arbitrary independant set consists at most 50 computers, and uses the least number of cables. (1) Let $c(L)$ be the number of cables which connects the computer $L$. Prove that for two computers $A,B$, $c(A)=c(B)$ if there is a cable which connects $A$ and $B$, $|c(A)-c(B)|\leq 1$ otherwise. (2) Determine the number of used cables.

The sales tax rate in Bergville is $6\%$. During a sale at the Bergville Coat Closet, the price of a coat is discounted $20\%$ from its \$90.00 price. Two clerks, Jack and Jill, calculate the bill independently. Jack rings up \$90.00 and adds $6\%$ sales tax, then subtracts $20\%$ from this total. Jill rings up \$90.00, subtracts $20\%$ of the price, then adds $6\%$ of the discounted price for sales tax. What is Jack's total minus Jill's total? $ \textbf{(A)}\ -\$1.06\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ -\$0.53\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 0\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \$0.53\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \$1.06 $

Determine positive integers $p, q$, and $r$ such that the diagonal of a block consisting of $p\times q\times r$ unit cubes passes through exactly $1984$ of the unit cubes, while its length is minimal. (The diagonal is said to pass through a unit cube if it has more than one point in common with the unit cube.)
