Let $\omega=e^{\frac{2\pi i}{2017}}$ and $\zeta = e^{\frac{2\pi i}{2019}}$. Let $S=\{(a,b)\in\mathbb{Z}\,|\,0\leq a \leq 2016, 0 \leq b \leq 2018, (a,b)\neq (0,0)\}$. Compute $$\prod_{(a,b)\in S}(\omega^a-\zeta^b).$$

Hugo, Evo, and Fidel are playing Dungeons and Dragons, which requires many twenty-sided dice. Attempting to slay Evo's [i]vicious hobgoblin +1 of viciousness,[/i] Hugo rolls $25$ $20$-sided dice, obtaining a sum of (alas!) only $70$. Trying to console him, Fidel notes that, given that sum, the product of the numbers was as large as possible. How many $2$s did Hugo roll?

A simplified model of a bicycle of mass $M$ has two tires that each comes into contact with the ground at a point. The wheelbase of this bicycle (the distance between the points of contact with the ground) is $w$, and the center of mass of the bicycle is located midway between the tires and a height h above the ground. The bicycle is moving to the right, but slowing down at a constant rate. The acceleration has a magnitude $a$. Air resistance may be ignored.

I define a "good day" as a day when both the day and the month evenly divide the concatenation of the two. For example, today (March $15$) is a good day since $3$ and $15$ both divide $315.$ However, March $9$ is not a good day since $9$ does not divide $39.$ How many good days are in March, April, and May combined?
