Find all functions $f:\mathbb{R}^+\to\mathbb{R}^+$ such that for any real numbers $a, b, c, d >0$ satisfying $abcd=1$,\[(f(a)+f(b))(f(c)+f(d))=(a+b)(c+d)\] holds true. [i](Swiss Mathematical Olympiad 2011, Final round, problem 4)[/i]
Choose a four-digit number (none of them zero) and, starting with it, build a list of $21$ different numbers, each with four digits, that satisfies the following rule: after writing each new number in the list, all the averages are calculated Between two digits of that number, those averages that do not give a whole number are discarded, and with the rest a four-digit number is formed that will occupy the next place in the list. For example, if $2946$ was written in the list, the next one can be $3333$ or $3434$ or $5345$ or any other number armed with the figures $3$, $4$ or $5$.

For x > 1, let $f(x) = log_2(x + log_2(x + log_2(x +...)))$. Compute $\Sigma_{k=2}^{10} f^{-1}(k)$
An infinite sequence of digits $1$ and $2$ is determined by the following two properties: i) The sequence is built by writing, in some order, blocks $12$ and blocks $112.$ ii) If each block $12$ is replaced by $1$ and each block $112$ by $2$, the same sequence is again obtained. In which position is the hundredth digit $1$? What is the thousandth digit of the sequence?
Jonathan finds out that his ideal match is Sara Lark, but to improve his odds of finding a girlfriend, he is willing to date any girl whose name is an anagram of "Sara Lark," and whose name consists of both a first and last name of at least one letter. How many such anagrams are there?
A positive integer $N$ is given. Panda builds a tree on $N$ vertices, and writes a real number on each vertex, so that $1$ plus the number written on each vertex is greater or equal to the average of the numbers written on the neighboring vertices. Let the maximum number written be $M$ and the minimal number written $m$. Mink then gives Panda $M-m$ kilograms of bamboo. What is the maximum amount of bamboo Panda can get?
