For any cyclic $2n$-gon $P_1 P_2\cdots P_{2n}$ in this order, define its score as the maximal possible value of $$\angle P_iXP_{i+1} + \angle P_{i+n}XP_{i+n+1}$$ across all $1\le i\le n$ (indices modulo $n$), and over all points $X$ inside the $2n$-gon including its boundary.

Consider a triangle $XYZ$ and a point $O$ in its interior. Three lines through $O$ are drawn, parallel to the respective sides of the triangle.

Use the following description of a machine to solve the first 4 problems in the round.
A machine displays four digits: $0000$. There are two buttons: button $A$ moves all digits one position to the left and fills the rightmost position with $0$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $2340$), and button $B$ adds $11$ to the current number, displaying only the last four digits if the sum is greater than $9999$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $1245$, and changes $9998$ to $0009$). We can denote a sequence of moves by writing down the buttons pushed from left to right. A sequence of moves that outputs $2100$, for example, is $BABAA$.
[b]p1[/b]. Give a sequence of $17$ or less moves so that the machine displays $2020$.
[b]p2.[/b] Using the same machine, how many outputs are possible if you make at most three moves?
[b]p3.[/b] Button $ B$ now adds n to the four digit display, while button $ A$ remains the same. For how many positive integers $n \le 20$ (including $11$) can every possible four-digit output be reached?
[b]p4.[/b] Suppose the function of button $ A$ changes to: move all digits one position to the right and fill the leftmost position with $2$. Then, what is the minimum number of moves required for the machine to display $2020$, if it initially displays $0000$?
