We examine the following two sequences: The Fibonacci sequence: $F_{0}= 0, F_{1}= 1, F_{n}= F_{n-1}+F_{n-2 }$ for $n \geq 2$; The Lucas sequence: $L_{0}= 2, L_{1}= 1, L_{n}= L_{n-1}+L_{n-2}$ for $n \geq 2$. It is known that for all $n \geq 0$ \[F_{n}=\frac{\alpha^{n}-\beta^{n}}{\sqrt{5}},L_{n}=\alpha^{n}+\beta^{n},\] where $\alpha=\frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2},\beta=\frac{1-\sqrt{5}}{2}$. These formulae can be used without proof. We call a nonnegative integer $r$-Fibonacci number if it is a sum of $r$ (not necessarily distinct) Fibonacci numbers. Show that there infinitely many positive integers that are not $r$-Fibonacci numbers for any $r, 1 \leq r\leq 5.$

Suppose you have a sphere tangent to the $xy$-plane with its center having positive $z$-coordinate. If it is projected from a point $P=(0,b,a)$ to the $xy$-plane, it gives the conic section $y=x^2$. If we write $a=\tfrac pq$ where $p,q$ are integers, find $p+q$.

A cube with sides of length 3cm is painted red and then cut into 3 x 3 x 3 = 27 cubes with sides of length 1cm. If a denotes the number of small cubes (of 1cm x 1cm x 1cm) that are not painted at all, b the number painted on one sides, c the number painted on two sides, and d the number painted on three sides, determine the value a-b-c+d.

Each of $N$ people chooses a random integer number between $1$ and $19$ (including $1$ and $19$, and not necessarily with the same distribution). The random numbers chosen by the people are independent from each other, and it is true that each person chooses each of the $19$ numbers with probability at most $99\%$. They add up the $N$ chosen numbers, and take the remainder of the sum divided by $19$. Prove that the distribution of the result tends to the uniform distribution exponentially, i.e. there exists a number $0<c<1$ such that the mod $19$ remainder of the sum of the $N$ chosen numbers equals each of the mod $19$ remainders with probability between $\frac{1}{19}-c^{N}$ and $\frac{1}{19}+c^{N}$.
