You have some cyan, magenta, and yellow beads on a non-reorientable circle, and you can perform only the following operations: 1. Move a cyan bead right (clockwise) past a yellow bead, and turn the yellow bead magenta. 2. Move a magenta bead left of a cyan bead, and insert a yellow bead left of where the magenta bead ends up. 3. Do either of the above, switching the roles of the words ``magenta'' and ``left'' with those of ``yellow'' and ``right'', respectively. 4. Pick any two disjoint consecutive pairs of beads, each either yellow-magenta or magenta-yellow, appearing somewhere in the circle, and swap the orders of each pair. 5. Remove four consecutive beads of one color. Starting with the circle: ``yellow, yellow, magenta, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', determine whether or not you can reach a) ``yellow, magenta, yellow, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', b) ``cyan, yellow, cyan, magenta, cyan'', c) ``magenta, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', d) ``yellow, cyan, cyan, cyan''.

KoMaL A Problems 2023/2024, A. 875

$ a)$ Two players play a cooperative game. They can discuss a strategy prior to the game, however, they cannot communicate and have no information about the other player during the game. The game master chooses one of the players in each round. The player on turn has to guess the number of the current round. Players keep note of the number of rounds they were chosen, however, they have no information about the other player's rounds. If the player's guess is correct, the players are awarded a point. Player's are not notified whether they've scored or not. The players win the game upon collecting 100 points. Does there exist a strategy with which they can surely win the game in a finite number of rounds? $b)$ How does this game change, if in each round the player on turn has two guesses instead of one, and they are awarded a point if one of the guesses is correct (while keeping all the other rules of the game the same)?

The workers laid a floor of size $n \times n$ with tiles of two types: $2 \times 2$ and $3 \times 1$. It turned out that they were able to completely lay the floor in such a way that the same number of tiles of each type was used. Under what conditions could this happen? (You can’t cut tiles and also put them on top of each other.)

Consider the $10$-digit number $M=9876543210$. We obtain a new $10$-digit number from $M$ according to the following rule: we can choose one or more disjoint pairs of adjacent digits in $M$ and interchange the digits in these chosen pairs, keeping the remaining digits in their own places. For example, from $M=9\underline{87}6 \underline{54} 3210$ by interchanging the $2$ underlined pairs, and keeping the others in their places, we get $M_{1}=9786453210$. Note that any number of (disjoint) pairs can be interchanged. Find the number of new numbers that can be so obtained from $M$.
