A non-zero digit is chosen in such a way that the probability of choosing digit $ d$ is $ \log_{10}(d\plus{}1) \minus{} \log_{10} d$. The probability that the digit $ 2$ is chosen is exactly $ \frac12$ the probability that the digit chosen is in the set $ \textbf{(A)}\ \{2,3\} \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ \{3,4\} \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ \{4,5,6,7,8\} \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ \{5,6,7,8,9\} \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ \{4,5,6,7,8,9\}$

Consider a directed graph $G$ with $n$ vertices, where $1$-cycles and $2$-cycles are permitted. For any set $S$ of vertices, let $N^{+}(S)$ denote the out-neighborhood of $S$ (i.e. set of successors of $S$), and define $(N^{+})^k(S)=N^{+}((N^{+})^{k-1}(S))$ for $k\ge2$. For fixed $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the maximum possible number of distinct sets of vertices in $\{(N^{+})^k(X)\}_{k=1}^{\infty}$, where $X$ is some subset of $V(G)$. Show that there exists $n>2012$ such that $f(n)<1.0001^n$. [i]Linus Hamilton.[/i]
