At CMU, the A and the B buses arrive once every 20 and 18 minutes, respectively. Kevin prefers the A bus but does not want to wait for too long. He commits to the following waiting scheme: he will take the first A bus that arrives, but after waiting for five minutes he will take the next bus that comes, no matter what it is. Determine the probability that he ends up on an A bus.

Palindrome is a sequence of digits which doesn't change if we reverse the order of its digits. Prove that a sequence $(x_n)^{\infty}_{n=0}$ defined as $x_n=2013+317n$ contains infinitely many numbers with their decimal expansions being palindromes.

An $n\times n$ chessboard is given, where $n$ is an even positive integer. On every line, the unit squares are to be permuted, subject to the condition that the resulting table has to be symmetric with respect to its main diagonal (the diagonal from the top-left corner to the bottom-right corner). We say that a board is [i]alternative[/i] if it has at least one pair of complementary lines (two lines are complementary if the unit squares on them which lie on the same column have distinct colours). Otherwise, we call the board [i]nonalternative[/i]. For what values of $n$ do we always get from the $n\times n$ chessboard an alternative board?\\ \\ [i](Alexandru Petrescu and Andra Elena Mircea)[/i]
