Let $S$ be the Sierpiński triangle. What can we say about the Hausdorff dimension of the elevation sets $f^{-1}(y)$ for typical continuous real functions defined on $S$? (A property is satisfied for typical continuous real functions on $S$ if the set of functions not having this property is of the first Baire category in the metric space of continuous $S\rightarrow\mathbb{R}$ functions with the supremum norm.)

Nelson challenges Telma for the following game:
First Telma takes $2^9$ numbers from the set $\left\{0,1,2,3,\cdots,1024\right\}$, then Nelson takes $2^8$ of the remaining numbers. Then Telma takes $2^7$ numbers and successively, until only two numbers remain. Nelson will have to give Telma the difference between these two numbers in euros. What is the largest amount Telma can win, whatever Nelson's strategy is?

Four people were guessing the number, $N$, of jellybeans in a jar. No two guesses were equally close to $N$. The closest guess was 80 jellybeans, the next closest guess was 60 jellybeans, followed by 49 jellybeans, and the furthest guess was 125 jellybeans. Find the sum of all possible values for $N$.

The kingdom of Anisotropy consists of $n$ cities. For every two cities there exists exactly one direct one-way road between them. We say that a [i]path from $X$ to $Y$[/i] is a sequence of roads such that one can move from $X$ to $Y$ along this sequence without returning to an already visited city. A collection of paths is called [i]diverse[/i] if no road belongs to two or more paths in the collection.
Let $A$ and $B$ be two distinct cities in Anisotropy. Let $N_{AB}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $A$ to $B$. Similarly, let $N_{BA}$ denote the maximal number of paths in a diverse collection of paths from $B$ to $A$. Prove that the equality $N_{AB} = N_{BA}$ holds if and only if the number of roads going out from $A$ is the same as the number of roads going out from $B$.
