Jenn is competing in a puzzle hunt with six regular puzzles and one additional meta-puzzle. Jenn can solve any puzzle regularly. Additionally, if she has already solved the meta-puzzle, Jenn can also back-solve a puzzle. A back-solve is distinguishable from a regular solve. The meta puzzle cannot be the first puzzle solved. How many possible solve orders for the seven puzzles are possible? For example, Jenn may solve #3, solve #5, solve #6, solve the meta-puzzle, solve #2, solve #1, and then solve #4. However, she may not solve #2, solve #4, solve #6, back-solve #1, solve #3, solve #5, and then solve the meta-puzzle.

A spider sits on the circumference of a circle and wants to weave a web by making several passes through the circle's interior. On each pass, the spider starts at some location on the circumference, picks a destination uniformly at random from the circumference, and travels to that destination in a straight line, laying down a strand of silk along the line segment they traverse. After the spider does $2022$ of these passes (with each non-initial pass starting where the previous one ended), what is the expected number of points in the circle's interior where two or more non-parallel silk strands intersect?

Given a sequence of numbers $a_1, a_2, ..., a_{15}$, one can always construct a new sequence $b_1,b_2, ..., b_{15}$, where $b_i$ is equal to the number of terms in the sequence $\{a_k\}^{15}_{k=1}$ less than $a_i$ ($i = 1, 2,..., 15$). Is there a sequence $\{a_k\}^{15}_{k=1}$ for which the sequence $\{b_k\}^{15}_{k=1}$ is $$1, 0, 3, 6, 9, 4, 7, 2, 5, 8, 8, 5, 10, 13, 13 \,?$$

Cars don't overtake at the points. Prove that there are 2 points such that cars pass through these points in the same order. [i]S. Berlov[/i]

Cozy the Cat and Dash the Dog are going up a staircase with a certain number of steps. However, instead of walking up the steps one at a time, both Cozy and Dash jump. Cozy goes two steps up with each jump (though if necessary, he will just jump the last step). Dash goes five steps up with each jump (though if necessary, he will just jump the last steps if there are fewer than 5 steps left). Suppose the Dash takes 19 fewer jumps than Cozy to reach the top of the staircase. Let $s$ denote the sum of all possible numbers of steps this staircase can have.
