(a) Suppose Patricia uses the number $p$ at least once. How many times does she have the number $p$ then a minimum sum needed?
(b) Suppose Patricia does not use the number $p$. In how many ways can she assign numbers? (Two ways are different if there is at least one black one dot different numbers are assigned. The figure is not rotated or mirrored.)

A palindrome is a word that doesn't matter if you read it from left to right or from right to left. Examples: OMO, lepel and parterretrap.
How many palindromes can you make with the five letters $a, b, c, d$ and $e$ under the conditions:
- each letter may appear no more than twice in each palindrome,
- the length of each palindrome is at least $3$ letters.
(Any possible combination of letters is considered a word.)

For real numbers $b>a>0$, let $f : [0,\ \infty)\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a continuous function.
Prove that :
(i) $\lim_{\epsilon\rightarrow +0} \int_{a\epsilon}^{b\epsilon} \frac{f(x)}{x}dx=f(0)\ln \frac{b}{a}.$
(ii) If $\int_1^{\infty} \frac{f(x)}{x}dx$ converges, then $\int_0^{\infty} \frac{f(bx)-f(ax)}{x}dx=f(0)\ln \frac{a}{b}.$
Prove that there exists a sequence $a(1),a(2),\dots,a(n),\dots$ of real numbers such that

for all integers $m,n\ge 1$, and such that the set $\{a(n)/n:n\ge 1\}$ is everywhere dense on the real line.
[i]Remark.[/i] A theorem of de Bruijn and Erdős states that if the inequality above holds with $f(n + m)$ in place of the last term on the right-hand side, where $f(n)\ge 0$ is nondecreasing and $\sum_{n=2}^\infty f(n)/n^2<\infty$, then $a(n)/n$ converges or tends to $(-\infty)$.
