Let $f(x, y) = \left\lfloor \frac{5x}{2y} \right\rfloor + \left\lceil \frac{5y}{2x} \right\rceil$. Suppose $x, y$ are chosen independently uniformly at random from the interval $(0, 1]$.

(Note: $\lfloor x\rfloor $ is defined as the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$ and $\lceil x \rceil$ is defined as the least integer greater than or equal to$ x$.)

A sequence of real numbers $ a_{0},\ a_{1},\ a_{2},\dots$ is defined by the formula
\[ a_{i \plus{} 1} \equal{} \left\lfloor a_{i}\right\rfloor\cdot \left\langle a_{i}\right\rangle\qquad\text{for}\quad i\geq 0;

For a positive integer $k$, define the $k$-[i]pop[/i] of a positive integer $n$ as the infinite sequence of integers $a_1, a_2, ...$ such that $a_1 = n$ and $$a_{i+1}= \left\lfloor \frac{a_i}{k} \right\rfloor , i = 1, 2, ..$$
where $ \lfloor x\rfloor $ denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to $x$. Furthermore, define a positive integer $m$ to be $k$-[i]pop avoiding[/i] if $k$ does not divide any nonzero term in the $k$-pop of $m$. For example, $14$ is 3-pop avoiding because $3$ does not divide any nonzero term in the $3$-pop of $14$, which is $14, 4, 1, 0, 0, ....$ Suppose that the number of positive integers less than $13^{2018}$ which are $13$-pop avoiding is equal to N. What is the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$?

Thin and Fat eat a pizza of $2n$ pieces. Each piece contains a distinct amount of olives between $1$ and $2n$. Thin eats the first piece, and the two players alternately eat a piece neighbor of an eaten piece. However, neither Thin nor Fat like olives, so they will choose pieces that minimizes the total amount of olives they eat. For each arrangement $\sigma$ of the olives, let $s(\sigma)$ the minimal amount of olives that Thin can eat, considering that both play in the best way possible. Let $S(n)$ the maximum of $s(\sigma)$, considering all arrangements.
$a)$ Prove that $n^2-1+\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor \le S(n) \le n^2+\lfloor \frac{n}{2} \rfloor$
$b)$ Prove that $S(n)=n^2-1+\frac{n}{2}$ for each even n.

$$\begin{array}{lll} A & B & C \\ 10 & 1010 & 20 \\ 100 & 1100100 & 400 \\ 1000 & 1111101000 & 13000 \\ \vdots & \vdots & \vdots \end{array}$$
Prove that for every integer $n > 1$, there is exactly one number in exactly one of the lists $B$ or $C$ that has exactly $n$ digits.
