There are $999$ black points marked on a circle, dividing it into $999$ arcs of length $1$. We need to place $d$ arcs of lengths $1, 2, \dots, d$ such that each arc starts and ends at two black points, and none of the $d$ arcs is contained within another. Find the maximum value of $d$ for which this construction is possible. [b]Note:[/b] Two arcs can have one or more black points in common.

On some planet, there are $2^N$ countries $(N \geq 4).$ Each country has a flag $N$ units wide and one unit high composed of $N$ fields of size $1 \times 1,$ each field being either yellow or blue. No two countries have the same flag. We say that a set of $N$ flags is diverse if these flags can be arranged into an $N \times N$ square so that all $N$ fields on its main diagonal will have the same color. Determine the smallest positive integer $M$ such that among any $M$ distinct flags, there exist $N$ flags forming a diverse set. [i]Proposed by Tonći Kokan, Croatia[/i]

Emily starts with an empty bucket. Every second, she either adds a stone to the bucket or removes a stone from the bucket, each with probability $\frac{1}{2}$. If she wants to remove a stone from the bucket and the bucket is currently empty, she merely does nothing for that second (still with probability $\hfill \frac{1}{2}$). What is the probability that after $2017$ seconds her bucket contains exactly $1337$ stones?
