Initially, a positive integer $N$ is written on a blackboard. We repeatedly replace the number according to the following rules: 1) replace the number by a positive multiple of itself 2) replace the number by a number with the same digits in a different order. (The new number is allowed to have leading digits, which are then deleted.) [i]A possible sequence of moves is given by $5 \to 20 \to 140 \to 041=41$.[/i] Determine for which values of $N$ it is possible to obtain $1$ after a finite number of such moves.

The permutations of $OLYMPIAD$ are arranged in lexicographical order, with $ADILMOPY$ being arrangement 1 and its reverse being arrangement $40320$. Yu Semo and Yu Sejmo both choose a uniformly random arrangement. The immature Yu Sejmo exclaims, ``My fourth letter is $L$!" while Yu Semo remains silent. Given this information, let $E_1$ be the expected arrangement number of Yu Semo and $E_2$ be the expected arrangement number of Yu Sejmo. Compute $E_2 - E_1$.

A game board consists of $64$ squares that alternate in color between black and white. The figure below shows square $P$ in the bottom and square $Q$ in the top row. A marker is placed at $P$. A [i]step[/i] consists of moving the marker onto one of the adjoining white squares in the row above. How many $7$-step paths are there from $P$ to $Q$? (The figure shows a sample path.)
