Let $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_9$ and $b_1 , b_2, \ldots,b_9$ be positive integers such that $a_9<b_9$ and $a_k \neq b_k, 1 \leq k \leq 8.$ In a cash dispenser/automated teller machine/ATM there are $n\geq a_9$ levs (Bulgarian national currency) and for each $1 \leq i \leq 9$ we can take $a_i$ levs from the ATM (if in the bank there are at least $a_i$ levs). Immediately after that action the bank puts $b_i$ levs in the ATM or we take $a_0$ levs. If we take $a_0$ levs from the ATM the bank doesn’t put any money in the ATM. Find all possible positive integer values of $n$ such that after finite number of takings money from the ATM there will be no money in it.

A circular disk is partitioned into $ 2n$ equal sectors by $ n$ straight lines through its center. Then, these $ 2n$ sectors are colored in such a way that exactly $ n$ of the sectors are colored in blue, and the other $ n$ sectors are colored in red. We number the red sectors with numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ in counter-clockwise direction (starting at some of these red sectors), and then we number the blue sectors with numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ in clockwise direction (starting at some of these blue sectors).
Prove that one can find a half-disk which contains sectors numbered with all the numbers from $ 1$ to $ n$ (in some order). (In other words, prove that one can find $ n$ consecutive sectors which are numbered by all numbers $ 1$, $ 2$, ..., $ n$ in some order.)

This is an ARML Super Relay! I'm sure you know how this works! You start from #1 and #15 and meet in the middle.
We are going to require you to solve all $15$ problems, though -- so for the entire task, submit the sum of all the answers, rather than just the answer to #8.
Also, uhh, we can't actually find the slip for #1. Sorry about that. Have fun anyways!
Problem 2.
Let $T = TNYWR$. Find the number of way to distribute $6$ indistinguishable pieces of candy to $T$ hungry (and distinguishable) schoolchildren, such that each child gets at most one piece of candy.
Problem 3.
Let $T = TNYWR$. If $d$ is the largest proper divisor of $T$, compute $\frac12 d$.
Problem 4.
Let $T = TNYWR$ and flip $4$ fair coins. Suppose the probability that at most $T$ heads appear is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.
Problem 5.
Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the last digit of $T^T$ in base $10$.

Problem 13.
Let $T = TNYWR$. If $d$ is the largest proper divisor of $T$, compute $\frac12 d$.
Problem 14.
Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the number of way to distribute $6$ indistinguishable pieces of candy to $T$ hungry (and distinguishable) schoolchildren, such that each child gets at most one piece of candy.
Also, we can't find the slip for #15, either. We think the SFBA coaches stole it to prevent us from winning the Super Relay, but that's not going to stop us, is it? We have another #15 slip that produces an equivalent answer. Here you go!
Problem 15.
Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be the answers to #8, #9, #10. Compute $\gcd(A,C) \cdot B$.
