Let $ \{ f_n \}$ be a sequence of Lebesgue-integrable functions on $ [0,1]$ such that for any Lebesgue-measurable subset $ E$ of $ [0,1]$ the sequence $ \int_E f_n$ is convergent. Assume also that $ \lim_n f_n\equal{}f$ exists almost everywhere. Prove that $ f$ is integrable and $ \int_E f\equal{}\lim_n \int_E f_n$. Is the assertion also true if $ E$ runs only over intervals but we also assume $ f_n \geq 0 ?$ What happens if $ [0,1]$ is replaced by $ [0,\plus{}\infty) ?$

The leader of an IMO team chooses positive integers $n$ and $k$ with $n > k$, and announces them to the deputy leader and a contestant. The leader then secretly tells the deputy leader an $n$-digit binary string, and the deputy leader writes down all $n$-digit binary strings which differ from the leader’s in exactly $k$ positions. (For example, if $n = 3$ and $k = 1$, and if the leader chooses $101$, the deputy leader would write down $001, 111$ and $100$.) The contestant is allowed to look at the strings written by the deputy leader and guess the leader’s string. What is the minimum number of guesses (in terms of $n$ and $k$) needed to guarantee the correct answer?
