Let $\mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ denote the set of positive integers. Consider a function $f: \mathbb{Z}_{>0} \to \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$. For any $m, n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$ we write $f^n(m) = \underbrace{f(f(\ldots f}_{n}(m)\ldots))$. Suppose that $f$ has the following two properties: (i) if $m, n \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$, then $\frac{f^n(m) - m}{n} \in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}$; (ii) The set $\mathbb{Z}_{>0} \setminus \{f(n) \mid n\in \mathbb{Z}_{>0}\}$ is finite. Prove that the sequence $f(1) - 1, f(2) - 2, f(3) - 3, \ldots$ is periodic. [i]Proposed by Ang Jie Jun, Singapore[/i]

Given two (identical) polygonal domains in the Euclidean plane, it is not possible in general to superpose the two using only translations and rotations. Prove that this can however be achieved by splitting one of the domains into a finite number of polygonal subdomains which then fit together, via translations and rotations in the plane, to recover the other domain.

Given $x_0\in\mathbb R$, $f,g:\mathbb R\to\mathbb R$, we define the $\emph{non-redundant binary tree}$ $T(x_0,f,g)$ in the following way: [list=1] [*]The tree $T$ initially consists of just $x_0$ at height $0$. [*]Let $v_0,\dots,v_k$ be the vertices at height $h$. Then the vertices of height $h+1$ are added to $T$ by: for $i=0,1,\dots,k$, $f(v_i)$ is added as a child of $v_i$ if $f(v_i)\not\in T$, and $g(v_i)$ is added as a child of $v_i$ if $g(v_i)\not\in T$. [/list] For example, if $f(x)=x+1$ and $g(x)=x-1$, then the first three layers of $T(0,f,g)$ look like: [asy] size(100); draw((-0.1,-0.2)--(-0.4,-0.8),EndArrow(size=3)); draw((0.1,-0.2)--(0.4,-0.8),EndArrow(size=3)); draw((-0.6,-1.2)--(-0.9,-1.8),EndArrow(size=3)); draw((0.6,-1.2)--(0.9,-1.8),EndArrow(size=3)); label("$0$",(0,0)); label("$1$",(-.5,-1)); label("$-1$",(.5,-1)); label("$2$",(-1,-2)); label("$-2$",(1,-2));[/asy] If $f(x)=1024x-2047\lfloor x/2\rfloor$ and $g(x)=2x-3\lfloor x/2\rfloor+2\lfloor x/4\rfloor$, then how many vertices are in $T(2016,f,g)$?
