Three tokens $A$, $B$, $C$ are, each one in a vertex of an equilateral triangle of side $n$. Its divided on equilateral triangles of side 1, such as it is shown in the figure for the case $n=3$ Initially, all the lines of the figure are painted blue. The tokens are moving along the lines painting them of red, following the next two rules: [b](1) [/b]First $A$ moves, after that $B$ moves, and then $C$, by turns. On each turn, the token moves over exactly one line of one of the little triangles, form one side to the other. [b](2)[/b] Non token moves over a line that is already painted red, but it can rest on one endpoint of a side that is already red, even if there is another token there waiting its turn. Show that for every positive integer $n$ it is possible to paint red all the sides of the little triangles.

Initially, the integer $80$ is written on a blackboard. At each step, the integer $x$ on the blackboard is replaced with an integer chosen uniformly at random among [0,x−1], unless $x=0$ , in which case it is replaced by an integer chosen uniformly at random among [0,2024]. Let $P(a,b)$ be the probability that after $a$ steps, the integer on the board is $b$. Determine $$\lim_{x\to\infty}\frac{P(a,80)}{P(a,2024)}$$ (that is, the value that the function $\frac{P(a,80)}{P(a,2024)}$ approaches as $a$ goes to infinity).

An illusionist and his assistant are about to perform the following magic trick. Let $k$ be a positive integer. A spectator is given $n=k!+k-1$ balls numbered $1,2,…,n$. Unseen by the illusionist, the spectator arranges the balls into a sequence as he sees fit. The assistant studies the sequence, chooses some block of $k$ consecutive balls, and covers them under her scarf. Then the illusionist looks at the newly obscured sequence and guesses the precise order of the $k$ balls he does not see. Devise a strategy for the illusionist and the assistant to follow so that the trick always works. (The strategy needs to be constructed explicitly. For instance, it should be possible to implement the strategy, as described by the solver, in the form of a computer program that takes $k$ and the obscured sequence as input and then runs in time polynomial in $n$. A mere proof that an appropriate strategy exists does not qualify as a complete solution.)
