If $\zeta$ denote the Riemann Zeta Function, and $s>1$ then $$\sum \limits_{k=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{1+k^s}\geq \frac{\zeta (s)}{1+\zeta (s)}$$
Throw a die $n$ times, let $a_k$ be a number shown on the die in the $k$-th place. Define $s_n$ by $s_n=\sum_{k=1}^n 10^{n-k}a_k$. (1) Find the probability such that $s_n$ is divisible by 4. (2) Find the probability such that $s_n$ is divisible by 6. (3) Find the probability such that $s_n$ is divisible by 7. Last Edited Thanks, jmerry & JBL

The audience arranges $n$ coins in a row. The sequence of heads and tails is chosen arbitrarily. The audience also chooses a number between $1$ and $n$ inclusive. Then the assistant turns one of the coins over, and the magician is brought in to examine the resulting sequence. By an agreement with the assistant beforehand, the magician tries to determine the number chosen by the audience. [list][b](a)[/b] Prove that if this is possible for some $n$, then it is also possible for $2n$. [b](b)[/b] Determine all $n$ for which this is possible.[/list]

The function $f$ satisfies $f(x)+3f(1-x)=x^2$ for every real $x$. If $S=\{x \mid f(x)=0 \}$, which one is true? $\textbf{(A)}$ $S$ is an infinite set. $\textbf{(B)}$ $\{0,1\} \subset S$ $\textbf{(C)}$ $S=\phi$ $\textbf{(D)}$ $S = \{(3+\sqrt 3)/2, (3-\sqrt 3)/2\}$ $\textbf{(E)}$ None of above
Find all functions $ f: \mathbb{N^{*}}\to \mathbb{N^{*}}$ satisfying \[ \left(f^{2}\left(m\right)+f\left(n\right)\right) \mid \left(m^{2}+n\right)^{2}\] for any two positive integers $ m$ and $ n$. [i]Remark.[/i] The abbreviation $ \mathbb{N^{*}}$ stands for the set of all positive integers: $ \mathbb{N^{*}}=\left\{1,2,3,...\right\}$. By $ f^{2}\left(m\right)$, we mean $ \left(f\left(m\right)\right)^{2}$ (and not $ f\left(f\left(m\right)\right)$). [i]Proposed by Mohsen Jamali, Iran[/i]
