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 it repeats this process, and again makes a full rotation in $4$ second, then $8$ seconds, etc. Meanwhile, the minute hand and hour hand continue to function as if every full rotation of the second hand represents $60$ seconds.
