Let $\mathbb N$ denote the set of positive integers, and for a function $f$, let $f^k(n)$ denote the function $f$ applied $k$ times. Call a function $f : \mathbb N \to \mathbb N$ [i]saturated[/i] if \[ f^{f^{f(n)}(n)}(n) = n \] for every positive integer $n$. Find all positive integers $m$ for which the following holds: every saturated function $f$ satisfies $f^{2014}(m) = m$.

Thelma writes a list of four digits consisting of $1$, $3$, $5$, and $7$, and each digit can appear one time, multiples time, or not at all. The list has a unique [i]mode[/i], or the number that appears the most. Thelma removes two numbers of that mode from the list; her list now has no unique mode! How many lists are possible? Suppose that all possible lists are unordered.

The arithmetic mean of two different positive integers $x,y$ is a two digit integer. If one interchanges the digits, the geometric mean of these numbers is archieved.
a) Find $x,y$.
b) Show that a)'s solution is unique up to permutation if we work in base $g=10$, but that there is no solution in base $g=12$.
c) Give more numbers $g$ such that a) can be solved; give more of them such that a) can't be solved, too.

We have eight light bulbs, placed on the eight lattice points (points with integer coordinates) in space that are $\sqrt{3}$ units away from the origin. Each light bulb can either be turned on or off. These lightbulbs are unstable, however. If two light bulbs that are at most 2 units apart are both on simultaneously, they both explode. Given that no explosions take place, how many possible configurations of on/off light bulbs exist?
