Wanda the Worm likes to eat Pascal's triangle. One day, she starts at the top of the triangle and eats $\textstyle\binom{0}{0}=1$. Each move, she travels to an adjacent positive integer and eats it, but she can never return to a spot that she has previously eaten. If Wanda can never eat numbers $a,b,c$ such that $a+b=c$, prove that it is possible for her to eat 100,000 numbers in the first 2011 rows given that she is not restricted to traveling only in the first 2011 rows. (Here, the $n+1$st row of Pascal's triangle consists of entries of the form $\textstyle\binom{n}{k}$ for integers $0\le k\le n$. Thus, the entry $\textstyle\binom{n}{k}$ is considered adjacent to the entries $\textstyle\binom{n-1}{k-1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n-1}{k}$, $\textstyle\binom{n}{k-1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n}{k+1}$, $\textstyle\binom{n+1}{k}$, $\textstyle\binom{n+1}{k+1}$.)

Let $\operatorname{rad}(k)$ denote the product of prime divisors of a natural number $k$ (define $\operatorname{rad}(1)=1$). A sequence $(a_n)$ is defined by setting $a_1$ arbitrarily, and $a_{n+1}=a_n+\operatorname{rad}(a_n)$ for $n\ge1$. Prove that the sequence $(a_n)$ contains arithmetic progressions of arbitrary length.

In an $m\times n$ rectangular grid, where m and n are odd integers, $1\times 2$ dominoes are initially placed so as to exactly cover all but one of the $1\times 1$ squares at one corner of the grid. It is permitted to slide a domino towards the empty square, thus exposing another square. Show that by a sequence of such moves, we can move the empty square to any corner of the rectangle. [i]A. Shapovalov[/i]

We have four registers, $R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4$, such that $R_i$ initially contains the number $i$ for $1\le i\le4$. We are allowed two operations: [list] [*] Simultaneously swap the contents of $R_1$ and $R_3$ as well as $R_2$ and $R_4$. [*] Simultaneously transfer the contents of $R_2$ to $R_3$, the contents of $R_3$ to $R_4$, and the contents of $R_4$ to $R_2$. (For example if we do this once then $(R_1,R_2,R_3,R_4)=(1,4,2,3)$.) [/list] Using these two operations as many times as desired and in whatever order, what is the total number of possible outcomes?

Let $a , b , c$ positive integers, coprime. For each whole number $n \ge 1$, we denote by $s ( n )$ the number of elements in the set $\{ a , b , c \}$ that divide $n$. We consider $k_1< k_2< k_3<...$ .the sequence of all positive integers that are divisible by some element of $\{ a , b , c \}$.

Prove that if the characteristic sequences of $( a , b , c )$ and $( a', b', c')$ are equal, then $a = a', b = b'$ and $c=c'$
