For a positive integer $a$, define a sequence of integers $x_1,x_2,\ldots$ by letting $x_1=a$ and $x_{n+1}=2x_n+1$ for $n\geq 1$. Let $y_n=2^{x_n}-1$. Determine the largest possible $k$ such that, for some positive integer $a$, the numbers $y_1,\ldots,y_k$ are all prime.

There are $n$ cities in a country, where $n \geq 100$ is an integer. Some pairs of cities are connected by direct (two-way) flights. For two cities $A$ and $B$ we define:

$(i)$ A $\emph{path}$ between $A$ and $B$ as a sequence of distinct cities $A = C_0, C_1, \dots, C_k, C_{k+1} = B$, $k \geq 0$, such that there are direct flights between $C_i$ and $C_{i+1}$ for every $0 \leq i \leq k$;
$(ii)$ A $\emph{long path}$ between $A$ and $B$ as a path between $A$ and $B$ such that no other path between $A$ and $B$ has more cities;
$(iii)$ A $\emph{short path}$ between $A$ and $B$ as a path between $A$ and $B$ such that no other path between $A$ and $B$ has fewer cities.
Assume that for any pair of cities $A$ and $B$ in the country, there exist a long path and a short path between them that have no cities in common (except $A$ and $B$). Let $F$ be the total number of pairs of cities in the country that are connected by direct flights. In terms of $n$, find all possible values $F$

I have learned little about what bashing mean as i am planning to start geo, feels like its less effort required and doesnt need much knowledge about the synthetic solutions?
what do you guys recommend ? also state the major difference of them... especially of bashing pros and cons..

I'd suggest learn normal geometry first , while the point you've made is correct, that's precisely why competition problems are often hard to bash without previous Euclidean observations.

I ll talk about complex bash cause I have never used barycentric coordinates. Usually circles are hard to compute unless its the unit circle so avoid using them when a lot of them are involved. You still need to be able to translate algebraically geometric properties (like $g=\dfrac {a+b+c}{3}$) and you also need to be quite good at algebra. You should start with basic euclidean though and perhaps learn inversion first before trying bashing, you will build the fundamentals you need that way.
