Let $a_0, a_1, \ldots, a_9$ and $b_1 , b_2, \ldots,b_9$ be positive integers such that $a_9<b_9$ and $a_k \neq b_k, 1 \leq k \leq 8.$ In a cash dispenser/automated teller machine/ATM there are $n\geq a_9$ levs (Bulgarian national currency) and for each $1 \leq i \leq 9$ we can take $a_i$ levs from the ATM (if in the bank there are at least $a_i$ levs). Immediately after that action the bank puts $b_i$ levs in the ATM or we take $a_0$ levs. If we take $a_0$ levs from the ATM the bank doesn’t put any money in the ATM. Find all possible positive integer values of $n$ such that after finite number of takings money from the ATM there will be no money in it.

Recall that in any row of Pascal's Triangle, the first and last elements of the row are $1$ and each other element in the row is the sum of the two elements above it from the previous row. With this in mind, define the $\textit{Pascal Squared Triangle}$ as follows: [list] [*] In the $n^{\text{th}}$ row, where $n\geq 1$, the first and last elements of the row equal $n^2$; [*] Each other element is the sum of the two elements directly above it. [/list] The first few rows of the Pascal Squared Triangle are shown below. \[\begin{array}{c@{\hspace{7em}} c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{4pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}} c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}}c@{\hspace{3pt}}c@{\hspace{2pt}} c@{\hspace{2pt}}c} \vspace{4pt} \text{Row 1: } & & & & & & 1 & & & & & \\\vspace{4pt} \text{Row 2: } & & & & & 4 & & 4 & & & & \\\vspace{4pt} \text{Row 3: } & & & & 9 & & 8 & & 9 & & & \\\vspace{4pt} \text{Row 4: } & & &16& &17& &17& & 16& & \\\vspace{4pt} \text{Row 5: } & &25 & &33& &34 & &33 & &25 & \end{array}\] Let $S_n$ denote the sum of the entries in the $n^{\text{th}}$ row.

On a large, flat field $n$ people are positioned so that for each person the distances to all the other people are different. Each person holds a water pistol and at a given signal fires and hits the person who is closest. When $n$ is odd show that there is at least one person left dry. Is this always true when $n$ is even?

Let $f(x)$ be a function acting on a string of $0$s and $1$s, defined to be the number of substrings of $x$ that have at least one $1$, where a substring is a contiguous sequence of characters in $x$. Let $S$ be the set of binary strings with $24$ ones and $100$ total digits. Compute the maximum possible value of $f(s)$ over all $s\in S$. For example, $f(110) = 5$ as $\underline{1}10$, $1\underline{1}0$, $\underline{11}0$, $1\underline{10}$, and $\underline{110}$ are all substrings including a $1$. Note that $11\underline{0}$ is not such a substring.
