Let $\lfloor \bullet \rfloor$ denote the floor function. For nonnegative integers $a$ and $b$, their [i]bitwise xor[/i], denoted $a \oplus b$, is the unique nonnegative integer such that $$ \left \lfloor \frac{a}{2^k} \right \rfloor+ \left\lfloor\frac{b}{2^k} \right\rfloor - \left\lfloor \frac{a\oplus b}{2^k}\right\rfloor$$ is even for every $k \ge 0$. Find all positive integers $a$ such that for any integers $x>y\ge 0$, we have \[ x\oplus ax \neq y \oplus ay. \] [i]Carl Schildkraut[/i]

The problems are really difficult to find online, so here are the problems. P1. It is known that two positive integers $m$ and $n$ satisfy $10n - 9m = 7$ dan $m \leq 2018$. The number $k = 20 - \frac{18m}{n}$ is a fraction in its simplest form. a) Determine the smallest possible value of $k$. b) If the denominator of the smallest value of $k$ is (equal to some number) $N$, determine all positive factors of $N$. c) On taking one factor out of all the mentioned positive factors of $N$ above (specifically in problem b), determine the probability of taking a factor who is a multiple of 4. I added this because my translation is a bit weird. [hide=Indonesian Version] Diketahui dua bilangan bulat positif $m$ dan $n$ dengan $10n - 9m = 7$ dan $m \leq 2018$. Bilangan $k = 20 - \frac{18m}{n}$ merupakan suatu pecahan sederhana. a) Tentukan bilangan $k$ terkecil yang mungkin. b) Jika penyebut bilangan $k$ terkecil tersebut adalah $N$, tentukan semua faktor positif dari $N$. c) Pada pengambilan satu faktor dari faktor-faktor positif $N$ di atas, tentukan peluang terambilnya satu faktor kelipatan 4.[/hide] P2. Let the functions $f, g : \mathbb{R} \to \mathbb{R}$ be given in the following graphs. [hide=Graph Construction Notes]I do not know asymptote, can you please help me draw the graphs? Here are its complete description: For both graphs, draw only the X and Y-axes, do not draw grids. Denote each axis with $X$ or $Y$ depending on which line you are referring to, and on their intercepts, draw a small node (a circle) then mark their $X$ or $Y$ coordinates only (since their other coordinates are definitely 0). Graph (1) is the function $f$, who is a quadratic function with -2 and 4 as its $X$-intercepts and 4 as its $Y$-intercept. You also put $f$ right besides the curve you have, preferably just on the right-up direction of said curve. Graph (2) is the function $g$, which is piecewise. For $x \geq 0$, $g(x) = \frac{1}{2}x - 2$, whereas for $x < 0$, $g(x) = - x - 2$. You also put $g$ right besides the curve you have, on the lower right of the line, on approximately $x = 2$.[/hide] Define the function $g \circ f$ with $(g \circ f)(x) = g(f(x))$ for all $x \in D_f$ where $D_f$ is the domain of $f$. a) Draw the graph of the function $g \circ f$. b) Determine all values of $x$ so that $-\frac{1}{2} \leq (g \circ f)(x) \leq 6$. P3. The quadrilateral $ABCD$ has side lengths $AB = BC = 4\sqrt{3}$ cm and $CD = DA = 4$ cm. All four of its vertices lie on a circle. Calculate the area of quadrilateral $ABCD$. P4. There exists positive integers $x$ and $y$, with $x < 100$ and $y > 9$. It is known that $y = \frac{p}{777} x$, where $p$ is a 3-digit number whose number in its tens place is 5. Determine the number/quantity of all possible values of $y$. P5. The 8-digit number $\overline{abcdefgh}$ (the original problem does not have an overline, which I fixed) is arranged from the set $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8\}$. Such number satisfies $a + c + e + g \geq b + d + f + h$. Determine the quantity of different possible (such) numbers.
