How many positive five-digit integers are there that have the product of their five digits equal to $900$? (Karl Czakler)

Call a positive integer [i]balanced [/i] if the number of its distinct prime factors is equal to the number of its digits in the decimal representation; for example, the number $385 = 5 \cdot 7 \cdot 11$ is balanced, while $275 = 5^2 \cdot 11$ is not. Prove that there exist only a finite number of balanced numbers.

The natural numbers $M$ and $K$ are represented by different permutations of the same digits. Prove that (a) The sum of the digits of $2M$ equals the sum of the digits of $2K$. (b) The sum of the digits of $M/2$ equals the sum of the digits of $K/2$ ($M, K$ both even). (c) The sum of the digits of $5M$ equals the sum of the digits of $5 K$. (AD Lisitskiy)

Alice and Bob determine a number with $2018$ digits in the decimal system by choosing digits from left to right. Alice starts and then they each choose a digit in turn. They have to observe the rule that each digit must differ from the previously chosen digit modulo $3$. Since Bob will make the last move, he bets that he can make sure that the final number is divisible by $3$. Can Alice avoid that? [i](Proposed by Richard Henner)[/i]

Mazo performs the following operation on triplets of non-negative integers: If at least one of them is positive, it chooses one positive number, decreases it by one, and replaces the digits in the units place with the other two numbers. It starts with the triple $x$, $y$, $z$. Find a triple of positive integers $x$, $y$, $z$ such that $xy + yz + zx = 1000$ (*) and the number of operations that Mazo can subsequently perform with the triple $x, y, z$ is (a) maximal (i.e. there is no triple of positive integers satisfying (*) that would allow him to do more operations); (b) minimal (i.e. every triple of positive integers satisfying (*) allows him to perform at least so many operations).

Determine whether or not there exists a natural number $N$ which satisfies the following three criteria: 1. $N$ is divisible by $2^{2023}$, but not by $2^{2024}$, 2. $N$ only has three different digits, and none of them are zero, 3. Exactly 99.9% of the digits of $N$ are odd.

Consider the positive integers written in the decimal system with $n$ digits, the start of which is not zero and where there are no two sevens next to each other. The number of these numbers is called $u_n$. Derive a relation that expresses $u_{n+2}$ in terms of $u_{n+1}$ and $u_n$.

Let $X = 123456789$. Find the sum of the tens digits of all integral multiples of $11$ that can be obtained by interchanging two digits of $X$.

There are many sets of two different positive integers $a$ and $b$, both less than $50$, such that $a^2$ and $b^2$ end in the same last two digits. For example, $35^2 = 1225$ and $45^2 = 2025$ both end in $25$. What are all possible values for the average of $a$ and $b$? For the purposes of this problem, single-digit squares are considered to have a leading zero, so for example we consider $2^2$ to end with the digits 04, not $4$.
