There are $n$ light bulbs in a circle and one of them is marked. Let operation $A$: Take a positive divisor $d$ of the number $n,$ starting with the light bulb marked and clockwise, we count around the circumference from $1$ to $dn$, changing the state (on or off) to those light bulbs that correspond to the multiples of $d$. Let operation $B$ be: Apply operation$ A$ to all positive divisors of $n$ (to the first divider that is applied is with all the light bulbs off and the remaining divisors is with the state resulting from the previous divisor). Determine all the positive integers $n$, such that when applying the operation on $B$, all the light bulbs are on.

Byan is playing raven, raven, falcon with his three friends. His friends sit down in a circle, and Byan repeatedly walks clockwise around them, tapping each friend he passes on the head and then saying `raven' or `falcon', each with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. The game ends after Byan has said `falcon' twice. The probability one of his friends will be called a falcon twice can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $100m+n$. [i]Individual #6[/i]

There are $n!$ empty baskets in a row, labelled $1, 2, . . . , n!$. Caesar first puts a stone in every basket. Caesar then puts 2 stones in every second basket. Caesar continues similarly until he has put $n$ stones into every nth basket. In other words, for each $i = 1, 2, . . . , n,$ Caesar puts $i$ stones into the baskets labelled $i, 2i, 3i, . . . , n!.$ Let $x_i$ be the number of stones in basket $i$ after all these steps.
