A digital display shows the current date as an $8$-digit integer consisting of a $4$-digit year, followed by a $2$-digit month, followed by a $2$-digit date within the month. For example, Arbor Day this year is displayed as 20230428. For how many dates in $2023$ will each digit appear an even number of times in the 8-digital display for that date? $\textbf{(A)}~5\qquad\textbf{(B)}~6\qquad\textbf{(C)}~7\qquad\textbf{(D)}~8\qquad\textbf{(E)}~9$

Bob has invented the Very Normal Coin (VNC). When the VNC is flipped, it shows heads $\textstyle\frac{1}{2}$ of the time and tails $\textstyle\frac{1}{2}$ of the time - unless it has yielded the same result five times in a row, in which case it is guaranteed to yield the opposite result. For example, if Bob flips five heads in a row, then the next flip is guaranteed to be tails. Bob flips the VNC an infinite number of times. On the $n$th flip, Bob bets $2^{-n}$ dollars that the VNC will show heads (so if the second flip shows heads, Bob wins $\$0.25$, and if the third flip shows tails, Bob loses $\$0.125$). Assume that dollars are infinitely divisible. Given that the first flip is heads, the expected number of dollars Bob is expected to win can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b$. Compute $100a + b$.

A town has a road network that consists entirely of one-way streets that are used for bus routes. Along these routes, bus stops have been set up. If the one-way signs permit travel from bus stop $X$ to bus stop $Y \neq X$, then we shall say [i]$Y$ can be reached from $X$[/i]. We shall use the phrase [i]$Y$ comes after $X$[/i] when we wish to express that every bus stop from which the bus stop $X$ can be reached is a bus stop from which the bus stop $Y$ can be reached, and every bus stop that can be reached from $Y$ can also be reached from $X$. A visitor to this town discovers that if $X$ and $Y$ are any two different bus stops, then the two sentences [i]“$Y$ can be reached from $X$”[/i] and [i]“$Y$ comes after $X$”[/i] have exactly the same meaning in this town. Let $A$ and $B$ be two bus stops. Show that of the following two statements, exactly one is true: [b] (i)[/b] $B$ can be reached from $A;$ [b] (ii) [/b] $A$ can be reached from $B.$
