Let $n$ be a positive integer. Consider an infinite checkered board. A set $S$ of cells is [i]connected[/i] if one may get from any cell in $S$ to any other cell in $S$ by only traversing edge-adjacent cells in $S$.

[b]p1.[/b] Chad lives on the third floor of an apartment building with ten floors. He leaves his room and goes up two floors, goes down four floors, goes back up five floors, and finally goes down one floor, where he finds Jordan's room. On which floor does Jordan live? [b]p2.[/b] A real number $x$ satisfies the equation $2014x + 1337 = 1337x + 2014$. What is $x$? [b]p3.[/b] Given two points on the plane, how many distinct regular hexagons include both of these points as vertices? [b]p4.[/b] Jordan has six different files on her computer and needs to email them to Chad. The sizes of these files are $768$, $1024$, $2304$, $2560$, $4096$, and $7680$ kilobytes. Unfortunately, the email server holds a limit of $S$ kilobytes on the total size of the attachments per email, where $S$ is a positive integer. It is additionally given that all of the files are indivisible. What is the maximum value of S for which it will take Jordan at least three emails to transmit all six files to Chad? [b]p5.[/b] If real numbers $x$ and $y$ satisfy $(x + 2y)^2 + 4(x + 2y + 2 - xy) = 0$, what is $x + 2y$? [b]p6.[/b] While playing table tennis against Jordan, Chad came up with a new way of scoring. After the first point, the score is regarded as a ratio. Whenever possible, the ratio is reduced to its simplest form. For example, if Chad scores the first two points of the game, the score is reduced from $2:0$ to $1:0$. If later in the game Chad has $5$ points and Jordan has $9$, and Chad scores a point, the score is automatically reduced from $6:9$ to $2:3$. Chad's next point would tie the game at $1:1$. Like normal table tennis, a player wins if he or she is the first to obtain $21$ points. However, he or she does not win if after his or her receipt of the $21^{st}$ point, the score is immediately reduced. Chad and Jordan start at $0:0$ and finish the game using this rule, after which Jordan notes a curiosity: the score was never reduced. How many possible games could they have played? Two games are considered the same if and only if they include the exact same sequence of scoring. [b]p7.[/b] For a positive integer $m$, we define $m$ as a factorial number if and only if there exists a positive integer $k$ for which $m = k \cdot (k - 1) \cdot ... \cdot 2 \cdot 1$. We define a positive integer $n$ as a Thai number if and only if $n$ can be written as both the sum of two factorial numbers and the product of two factorial numbers. What is the sum of the five smallest Thai numbers? [b]p8.[/b] Chad and Jordan are in the Exeter Space Station, which is a triangular prism with equilateral bases. Its height has length one decameter and its base has side lengths of three decameters. To protect their station against micrometeorites, they install a force field that contains all points that are within one decameter of any point of the surface of the station. What is the volume of the set of points within the force field and outside the station, in cubic decameters? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Let $x_1, x_2, \ldots$ be a sequence of $0,1$, such that it satisfies the following three conditions: 1) $x_2=x_{100}=1$, $x_i=0$ for $1 \leq i \leq 100$ and $i \neq 2,100$; 2) $x_{2n-1}=x_{n-50}+1, x_{2n}=x_{n-50}$ for $51 \leq n \leq 100$; 3) $x_{2n}=x_{n-50}, x_{2n-1}=x_{n-50}+x_{n-100}$ for $n>100$.
