Let \( \varphi \) be the Euler's totient function. 1. For any given integer \( a > 1 \), does there exist \( l \in \mathbb{N}_+ \) such that for any \( k \in \mathbb{N}_+ \), \( l \mid k \) and \( a^2 \nmid l \), \( \frac{\varphi(k)}{\varphi(l)} \) is a non-negative power of \( a \)? 2. For integer \( x > a \), are there integers \( k_1 \) and \( k_2 \) satisfying: \[ \varphi(k_i) \in \left ( \frac{x}{a} ,x \right ], i = 1,2; \quad \varphi(k_1) \neq \varphi(k_2). \] And these two different \( k_i \) correspond to the same \( l_1 \) and \( l_2 \) as described in (1), yet \( \varphi(l_1) = \varphi(l_2) \). 3. Define \( \#E \) as the number of elements in set \( E \). For integer \( x > a \), let \( V(x) = \#\{v \in \mathbb{N}_+ \mid v = \varphi(k) \leq x\} \) and \( W(x) = \#\{w \in \mathbb{N}_+ \mid w = \varphi(l) \leq x, a^2 \mid l\} \). Compare \( V\left( \frac{x}{a} \right) \) with \( W(x) \).

The Cincinnati Reals are playing the Houston Alphas in the last game of the Swirled Series. The Alphas are leading by $1$ run in the bottom of the $9\text{th}$ (last) inning, and the Reals are at bat. Each batter has a $\dfrac{1}{3}$ chance of hitting a single and a $\dfrac{2}{3}$ chance of making an out. If the Reals hit $5$ or more singles before they make $3$ outs, they will win. If the Reals hit exactly $4$ singles before they make $3$ outs, they will tie the game and send it into extra innings, and they will have a $\dfrac{3}{5}$ chance of eventually winning the game (since they have the added momentum of coming from behind). If the Reals hit fewer than $4$ singles, they will LOSE! What is the probability that the Alphas hold off the Reals and win, sending the packed Alphadome into a frenzy? Express the answer as a fraction.

Starting at $(0,0),$ an object moves in the coordinate plane via a sequence of steps, each of length one. Each step is left, right, up, or down, all four equally likely. Let $p$ be the probability that the object reaches $(2,2)$ in six or fewer steps. Given that $p$ can be written in the form $m/n,$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n.$

A hunter and an invisible rabbit play a game in the Euclidean plane. The rabbit's starting point, $A_0,$ and the hunter's starting point, $B_0$ are the same. After $n-1$ rounds of the game, the rabbit is at point $A_{n-1}$ and the hunter is at point $B_{n-1}.$ In the $n^{\text{th}}$ round of the game, three things occur in order: [list=i] [*]The rabbit moves invisibly to a point $A_n$ such that the distance between $A_{n-1}$ and $A_n$ is exactly $1.$ [*]A tracking device reports a point $P_n$ to the hunter. The only guarantee provided by the tracking device to the hunter is that the distance between $P_n$ and $A_n$ is at most $1.$ [*]The hunter moves visibly to a point $B_n$ such that the distance between $B_{n-1}$ and $B_n$ is exactly $1.$ [/list] Is it always possible, no matter how the rabbit moves, and no matter what points are reported by the tracking device, for the hunter to choose her moves so that after $10^9$ rounds, she can ensure that the distance between her and the rabbit is at most $100?$ [i]Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria[/i]
