We call $m$ to be a grandson of $n$ if and only if, for all possible piles of stones whose total mass adds up to $n$ and consist of stones with masses $a,b,c$, it's possible to take some of the stones out from this pile in a way that in the end, we can obtain a new pile of stones with total mass of $m$. Find the greatest possible number that doesn't have any grandsons.

We call a path Valid if i. It only comprises of the following kind of steps: A. $(x, y) \rightarrow (x + 1, y + 1)$ B. $(x, y) \rightarrow (x + 1, y - 1)$ ii. It never goes below the x-axis. Let $M(n)$ = set of all valid paths from $(0,0) $, to $(2n,0)$, where $n$ is a natural number. Consider a Valid path $T \in M(n)$. Denote $\phi(T) = \prod_{i=1}^{2n} \mu_i$, where $\mu_i$= a) $1$, if the $i^{th}$ step is $(x, y) \rightarrow (x + 1, y + 1)$ b) $y$, if the $i^{th} $ step is $(x, y) \rightarrow (x + 1, y - 1)$ Now Let $f(n) =\sum _{T \in M(n)} \phi(T)$.

Let $P_1$, $P_2$, $\dots$, $P_{2n}$ be $2n$ distinct points on the unit circle $x^2+y^2=1$, other than $(1,0)$. Each point is colored either red or blue, with exactly $n$ red points and $n$ blue points. Let $R_1$, $R_2$, $\dots$, $R_n$ be any ordering of the red points. Let $B_1$ be the nearest blue point to $R_1$ traveling counterclockwise around the circle starting from $R_1$. Then let $B_2$ be the nearest of the remaining blue points to $R_2$ travelling counterclockwise around the circle from $R_2$, and so on, until we have labeled all of the blue points $B_1, \dots, B_n$. Show that the number of counterclockwise arcs of the form $R_i \to B_i$ that contain the point $(1,0)$ is independent of the way we chose the ordering $R_1, \dots, R_n$ of the red points.
