There are $n\ge 2$ lamps, each with two states: $\textbf{on}$ or $\textbf{off}$. For each non-empty subset $A$ of the set of these lamps, there is a $\textit{soft-button}$ which operates on the lamps in $A$; that is, upon $\textit{operating}$ this button each of the lamps in $A$ changes its state(on to off and off to on). The buttons are identical and it is not known which button corresponds to which subset of lamps. Suppose all the lamps are off initially. Show that one can always switch all the lamps on by performing at most $2^{n-1}+1$ operations.

There is a wooden $3 \times 3 \times 3$ cube and 18 rectangular $3 \times 1$ paper strips. Each strip has two dotted lines dividing it into three unit squares. The full surface of the cube is covered with the given strips, flat or bent. Each flat strip is on one face of the cube. Each bent strip (bent at one of its dotted lines) is on two adjacent faces of the cube. What is the greatest possible number of bent strips? Justify your answer.

Each of the integers from $1$ to $n$ is written on a separate card, and then the cards are combined into a deck and shuffled. Three players, $A,B,$ and $C,$ take turns in the order $A,B,C,A,\dots$ choosing one card at random from the deck. (Each card in the deck is equally likely to be chosen.) After a card is chosen, that card and all higher-numbered cards are removed from the deck, and the remaining cards are reshuffled before the next turn. Play continues until one of the three players wins the game by drawing the card numbered $1.$
Show that for each of the three players, there are arbitrarily large values of $n$ for which that player has the highest probability among the three players of winning the game.
