Barry has a standard die containing the numbers 1-6 on its faces. He rolls the die continuously, keeping track of the sum of the numbers he has rolled so far, starting from 0. Let $E_n$ be the expected number of time he needs to until his recorded sum is at least $n$. It turns out that there exist positive reals $a, b$ such that $$\lim_{n \rightarrow \infty} E_n - (an + b) = 0$$ Find $(a,b)$. [i]Proposed by Dilhan Salgado[/i]

Does there exist a functional equation[sup]1[/sup] that has a solution and the range of any of its solutions is the set of integers? [sup]1[/sup][size=75]A [i]functional equation[/i] has the form $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$, where $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E\)}$ is a function form. The set of function forms is the smallest set $\mbox{\footnotesize \(\mathcal{F}\)}$ which contains the variables $\mbox{\footnotesize \(x_1, x_2, \dots\)}$, the real numbers $\mbox{\footnotesize \(r \in \mathbb{R}\)}$, and for which $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E, E_1, E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$ implies $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E_1+E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E_1 \cdot E_2 \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, and $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f(E) \in \mathcal{F}\)}$, where $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f\)}$ is a fixed function symbol. The solution of the functional equation $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$ is a function $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f: \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}\)}$ such that $\mbox{\footnotesize \(E = 0\)}$ holds for all values of the variables. E.g. $\mbox{\footnotesize \(f\big(x_1 + f(\sqrt{2} \cdot x_2 \cdot x_2)\big) + (-\pi) + (-1) \cdot x_1 \cdot x_1 \cdot x_2 = 0\)}$ is a functional equation.[/size]

In a game similar to three card monte, the dealer places three cards on the table: the queen of spades and two red cards. The cards are placed in a row, and the queen starts in the center; the card configuration is thus RQR. The dealer proceeds to move. With each move, the dealer randomly switches the center card with one of the two edge cards (so the configuration after the first move is either RRQ or QRR). What is the probability that, after 2004 moves, the center card is the queen?
