Christian Reiher and Reid Barton want to open a security box, they already managed to discover the algorithm to generate the key codes and they obtained the following information:
$i)$ In the screen of the box will appear a sequence of $n+1$ numbers, $C_0 = (a_{0,1},a_{0,2},...,a_{0,n+1})$
$ii)$ If the code $K = (k_1,k_2,...,k_n)$ opens the security box then the following must happen:
a) A sequence $C_i = (a_{i,1},a_{i,2},...,a_{i,n+1})$ will be asigned to each $k_i$ defined as follows:
$a_{i,1} = 1$ and $a_{i,j} = a_{i-1,j}-k_ia_{i,j-1}$, for $i,j \ge 1$
b) The sequence $(C_n)$ asigned to $k_n$ satisfies that $S_n = \sum_{i=1}^{n+1}|a_i|$ has its least possible value, considering all possible sequences $K$.
The sequence $C_0$ that appears in the screen is the following:
$a_{0,1} = 1$ and $a_0,i$ is the sum of the products of the elements of each of the subsets with $i-1$ elements of the set $A =$ {$1,2,3,...,n$}, $i\ge 2$, such that $a_{0, n+1} = n!$
Find a sequence $K = (k_1,k_2,...,k_n)$ that satisfies the conditions of the problem and show that there exists at least $n!$ of them.

In a row there are $12$ cards that can be of three kinds: with both white faces, with both black faces or with one white face and the other black. Initially there are $9$ cards with the black side facing up. The first six cards from the left are turned over, leaving $9$ cards with the black face up. The six cards on the left are then turned over, leaving $8$ cards with the black face up. Finally, six cards are turned over: the first three on the left and the last three on the right, leaving $3$ cards with the black face up. Decide if with this information it is possible to know with certainty how many cards of each kind are in the row
