Let $n$ be a positive integer. Starting with the sequence $1,\frac{1}{2}, \frac{1}{3} , \cdots , \frac{1}{n}$, form a new sequence of $n -1$ entries $\frac{3}{4}, \frac{5}{12},\cdots ,\frac{2n -1}{2n(n -1)}$, by taking the averages of two consecutive entries in the first sequence. Repeat the averaging of neighbors on the second sequence to obtain a third sequence of $n -2$ entries and continue until the final sequence consists of a single number $x_n$. Show that $x_n < \frac{2}{n}$.

Let ${n}$ and $k$ be positive integers. There are given ${n}$ circles in the plane. Every two of them intersect at two distinct points, and all points of intersection they determine are pairwise distinct (i. e. no three circles have a common point). No three circles have a point in common. Each intersection point must be colored with one of $n$ distinct colors so that each color is used at least once and exactly $k$ distinct colors occur on each circle. Find all values of $n\geq 2$ and $k$ for which such a coloring is possible.

[b]3. 1.[/b] Kendall and Kylie are each selling t-shirts separately. Initially, they both sell t-shirts for $\$ 33$ each. A week later, Kendall marks up her t-shirt price by $30 \%$, but after seeing a drop in sales, she discounts her price by $30\%$ the following week. If Kim wants to buy $360$ t-shirts, how much money would she save by buying from Kendall instead of Kylie? Write your answer in dollars and cents.

[b]4. 1.[/b] Unsurprisingly, Aaron is having trouble getting a girlfriend. Whenever he asks a girl out, there is an eighty percent chance she bursts out laughing in his face and walks away, and a twenty percent chance that she feels bad enough for him to go with him. However, Aaron is also a player, and continues asking girls out regardless of whether or not previous ones said yes. What is the minimum number of girls Aaron must ask out for there to be at least a fifty percent chance he gets at least one girl to say yes?
[b]4.2.[/b] Nithin and Aaron are two waiters who are working at the local restaurant. On any given day, they may be fired for poor service. Since Aaron is a veteran who has learned his profession well, the chance of him being fired is only $\frac{2}{25}$ every day. On the other hand, Nithin (who never paid attention during job training) is very lazy and finds himself constantly making mistakes, and therefore the chance of him being fired is $\frac{2}{5}$. Given that after 1 day at least one of the waiters was fired, find the probability Nithin was fired.
