A sequence of positive integers is constructed as follows. If the last digit of $a_n$ is greater than $5$, then $a_{n+1}$ is $9a_n$. If the last digit of $a_n$ is $5$ or less and an has more than one digit, then $a_{n+1}$ is obtained from $a_n$ by deleting the last digit. If $a_n$ has only one digit, which is $5$ or less, then the sequence terminates. Can we choose the first member of the sequence so that it does not terminate?

[b]p1.[/b] Sarah needed a ride home to the farm from town. She telephoned for her father to come and get her with the pickup truck. Being eager to get home, she began walking toward the farm as soon as she hung up the phone. However, her father had to finish milking the cows, so could not leave to get her until fifteen minutes after she called. He drove rapidly to make up for lost time. They met on the road, turned right around and drove back to the farm at two-thirds of the speed her father drove coming. They got to the farm two hours after she had called. She walked and he drove both ways at constant rates of speed. How many minutes did she spend walking? [b]p2.[/b] Let $A = (a,b)$ be any point in a coordinate plane distinct from the origin $O$.

Determine angle $ABC$ for this equilibrium position, and verify your answer. (Your verification should assume that friction and the weight of the cord are both negligible, and that the tension throughout the cord is a constant six pounds.)

We will consider whether a set of five points can have this property. Let $S = \{p_1, p_2, p_3, p_4, p_5\}$ be a set of five points.
