Let $n$ be a positive integer; and $S(n)$ denote the sum of all digits in the decimal representation of $n$. A positive integer obtained by removing one or several digits from the right hand end of the decimal representation of $n$ is called the [i]truncation[/i] of $n$. The sum of all truncations of $n$ is denoted as $T(n)$. Prove that $S(n)+9T(n)=n$

3 countries $A, B, C$ participate in a competition where each country has 9 representatives. The rules are as follows: every round of competition is between 1 competitor each from 2 countries. The winner plays in the next round, while the loser is knocked out. The remaining country will then send a representative to take on the winner of the previous round. The competition begins with $A$ and $B$ sending a competitor each. If all competitors from one country have been knocked out, the competition continues between the remaining 2 countries until another country is knocked out. The remaining team is the champion. [b]I.[/b] At least how many games does the champion team win? [b]II.[/b] If the champion team won 11 matches, at least how many matches were played?

[b]6.[/b] Let $T$ be a one-to-one mapping of the unit square $E$ of the plane into itself. Suppose that $T$ and $T^{-1}$ are measure-preserving (i.e. if $M \subseteq E$ is a measurable set, then $TM$ and $T^{-1}M$ are also measurable and $\mu (M)= \mu (TM)= \mu (T^{-1}M)$, where $\mu$ denotes the Lebesgue measure) and, furthermore, that if $Tx \in N$ for almost all points $x$ of a measurable set $N \subseteq E$, then either $n$ or $ E \setminus N$ is of measure 0. Prove that, for any measurable set $A \subseteq E$, with $\mu (A)>0$, the function $n(x)$ defined by $$n(x)=\begin{cases} 0, \mbox{if} \quad T^k x \notin A \quad (k=1, 2, \dots),\\ \min (k: T^k x \in A; k=1,2, \dots ) &\mbox{otherwise} \end{cases} $$ is measurable and $\int_{A}n(x) d\mu(x) =1$ [b](R. 18)[/b]

p1. Given the set $H = \{(x, y)|(x -y)^2 + x^2 - 15x + 50 = 0$ where x and y are natural numbers $\}$. Find the number of subsets of $H$. p2. A magician claims to be an expert at guessing minds with following show. One of the viewers was initially asked to hidden write a five-digit number, then subtract it with the sum of the digits that make up the number, then name four of the five digits that make up the resulting number (in order of any). Then the magician can guess the numbers hidden. For example, if the audience mentions four numbers result: $0, 1, 2, 3$, then the magician will know that the hidden number is $3$. a. Give an example of your own from the above process. b. Explain mathematically the general form of the process. p3. In a fruit basket there are $20$ apples, $18$ oranges, $16$ mangoes, $10$ pineapples and $6$ papayas. If someone wants to take $10$ pieces from the basket. After that, how many possible compositions of fruit are drawn? p4.
