Let $S$ be a set. We say $S$ is $D^\ast$[i]-finite[/i] if there exists a function $f : S \to S$ such that for every nonempty proper subset $Y \subsetneq S$, there exists a $y \in Y$ such that $f(y) \notin Y$. The function $f$ is called a [i]witness[/i] of $S$. How many witnesses does $\{0,1,\cdots,5\}$ have? [i]Proposed by Evan Chen[/i]

$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.

A little boy takes a $ 12$ in long strip of paper and makes a Mobius strip out of it by tapping the ends together after adding a half twist. He then takes a $ 1$ inch long train model and runs it along the center of the strip at a speed of $ 12$ inches per minute. How long does it take the train model to make two full complete loops around the Mobius strip? A complete loop is one that results in the train returning to its starting point.
A coin is altered so that the probability that it lands on heads is less than $ \frac {1}{2}$ and when the coin is flipped four times, the probability of an equal number of heads and tails is $ \frac {1}{6}$.

Alice and Bob take $a$ and $b$ candies respectively, where $0\leq a,b\leq3$, from a pile of $6$ identical candies. They draw the candies one at a time, but one person may draw multiple candies in a row. For example, if $a=2$ and $b=3$, a possible order of drawing could be Alice, Bob, Bob, Alice, Bob. In how many ways (considering order of drawing and values of $a$ and $b$) can this happen? [i]2017 CCA Math Bonanza Team Round #6[/i]
