What is the least positive integer with the property that the product of its digits is $9! ?$
Define the sequences $x_0,x_1,x_2,\ldots$ and $y_0,y_1,y_2,\ldots$ such that $x_0=1$, $y_0=2021$, and for all nonnegative integers $n$, we have $x_{n+1}=\sqrt{x_ny_n}$ and $y_{n+1}=\frac{x_n+y_n}{2}.$ There is some constant $X$ such that as $n$ grows large, $x_n-X$ and $y_n-X$ both approach $0$. Estimate $X$.
An estimate of $E$ earns $\max(0,2-0.02|A-E|)$ points, where $A$ is the actual answer.

Ten bowls are in a circle. They will go clockwise - starting somewhere filled with $1, 2, 3, ..., 9$ or $10$ marbles. You can have two choices in every move . Add a marble to neighboring shells or from two neighboring shells - if both of them are not empty - remove one marble each. Can you achieve that after finally many moves in each bowl exactly $2011$ marbles lying?

A room has $2017$ boxes in a circle. A set of boxes is [i]friendly[/i] if there are at least two boxes in the set, and for each boxes in the set, if we go clockwise starting from the box, we would pass either $0$ or odd number of boxes before encountering a new box in the set. $30$ students enter the room and picks a set of boxes so that the set is friendly, and each students puts a letter inside all of the boxes that he/she chose. If the set of the boxes which have $30$ letters inside is not friendly, show that there exists two students $A, B$ and boxes $a, b$ satisfying the following condition.
(i). $A$ chose $a$ but not $b$, and $B$ chose $b$ but not $a$.
(ii). Starting from $a$ and going clockwise to $b$, the number of boxes that we pass through, not including $a$ and $b$, is not an odd number, and none of $A$ or $B$ chose such boxes that we passed.
