2015 Taiwan TST Round 3, 3
We are given an infinite deck of cards, each with a real number on it. For every real number $x$, there is exactly one card in the deck that has $x$ written on it. Now two players draw disjoint sets $A$ and $B$ of $100$ cards each from this deck. We would like to define a rule that declares one of them a winner. This rule should satisfy the following conditions:
1. The winner only depends on the relative order of the $200$ cards: if the cards are laid down in increasing order face down and we are told which card belongs to which player, but not what numbers are written on them, we can still decide the winner.
2. If we write the elements of both sets in increasing order as $A =\{ a_1 , a_2 , \ldots, a_{100} \}$ and $B= \{ b_1 , b_2 , \ldots , b_{100} \}$, and $a_i > b_i$ for all $i$, then $A$ beats $B$.
3. If three players draw three disjoint sets $A, B, C$ from the deck, $A$ beats $B$ and $B$ beats $C$ then $A$ also beats $C$.
How many ways are there to define such a rule? Here, we consider two rules as different if there exist two sets $A$ and $B$ such that $A$ beats $B$ according to one rule, but $B$ beats $A$ according to the other.

Pedro and Juan are playing the following game:
$-$ There are $2$ piles of rocks, with $X$ rocks in one pile and $Y$ rocks in the other pile ($X < 12, Y < 11$).
$-$ Each player can draw:
-- $1$ rock from one of the piles, or
-- $2$ rocks from one of the piles, or
-- $1$ rock from each pile, or
-- $2$ rock from one pile and $1$ from the other pile.
Each player must perform one of these four operations in their turns.
The looser is the one who takes the last rock.
Pedro plays first and has a winning strategy.

Martha writes down a random mathematical expression consisting of 3 single-digit positive integers with an addition sign "$+$" or a multiplication sign "$\times$" between each pair of adjacent digits. (For example, her expression could be $4 + 3\times 3$, with value 13.) Each positive digit is equally likely, each arithmetic sign ("$+$" or "$\times$") is equally likely, and all choices are independent. What is the expected value (average value) of her expression?
