You have some cyan, magenta, and yellow beads on a non-reorientable circle, and you can perform only the following operations: 1. Move a cyan bead right (clockwise) past a yellow bead, and turn the yellow bead magenta. 2. Move a magenta bead left of a cyan bead, and insert a yellow bead left of where the magenta bead ends up. 3. Do either of the above, switching the roles of the words ``magenta'' and ``left'' with those of ``yellow'' and ``right'', respectively. 4. Pick any two disjoint consecutive pairs of beads, each either yellow-magenta or magenta-yellow, appearing somewhere in the circle, and swap the orders of each pair. 5. Remove four consecutive beads of one color. Starting with the circle: ``yellow, yellow, magenta, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', determine whether or not you can reach a) ``yellow, magenta, yellow, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', b) ``cyan, yellow, cyan, magenta, cyan'', c) ``magenta, magenta, cyan, cyan, cyan'', d) ``yellow, cyan, cyan, cyan''.

Your math friend Steven rolls five fair icosahedral dice (each of which is labelled $1,2, \dots,20$ on its sides). He conceals the results but tells you that at least half the rolls are $20$. Suspicious, you examine the first two dice and find that they show $20$ and $19$ in that order. Assuming that Steven is truthful, what is the probability that all three remaining concealed dice show $20$?

Consider an infinite sequence of positive integers in which each positive integer occurs exactly once. Let $\{a_n\}, n\ge 1$ be such a sequence. We call it [i]consistent [/i] if, for an arbitrary natural $k$ and every natural $n ,m$ such that $a_n <a_m$, the inequality $a_{kn} <a _{km}$ also holds. For example, the sequence $a_n = n$ is consistent . a) Prove that there are consistent sequences other than $a_n = n$. b) Are there consistent sequences for which $a_n \ne n, n\ge 2$ ? c) Are there consistent sequences for which $a n \ne n, n\ge 1$ ?
