Problem
A digital display shows the current date as an -digit integer consisting of a
-digit year, followed by a
-digit month, followed by a
-digit date within the month. For example, Arbor Day this year is displayed as 20230428. For how many dates in
will each digit appear an even number of times in the 8-digital display for that date?
Solution 1 (Casework)
Do careful casework by each month. In the month and the date, we need a , a
, and two digits repeated (which has to be
and
after consideration). After the casework, we get
.
For curious readers, the numbers (in chronological order) are:
20230113 20230131 20230223 20230311 20230322 20231013 20231031 20231103 20231130
Solution 2
There is one , so we need one more (three more means that either the month or units digit of the day is
). For the same reason, we need one more
.
If is the units digit of the month, then the
can be in either of the three remaining slots. For the first case (tens digit of the month), then the last two digits must match (
). For the second (tens digit of the day), we must have the other two be
, as a month can't start with
or
. There are
successes this way.
If is the tens digit of the day, then
can be either the tens digit of the month or the units digit of the day. For the first case,
must go in the other slots. For the second, the other two slots must be
as well. There are
successes here.
If is the units digit of the day, then
could go in any of the
remaining slots again. If it's the tens digit of the day, then the other digits must be
. If
is the units digit of the day, then the other two slots must both be
. If
is the tens digit of the month, then the other two slots can be either both
or both
. In total, there are
successes here.
Summing through all cases, there are dates.
-Benedict T (countmath1)
Solution 3
We start with we need an extra
and an extra
. So we have at least one of those extras in the days, except we can have the month
. We now have
possible months
. For month
we have two cases, we now have to add in another 1, and the possible days are
. For month
we need an extra
so we can have the day
note that we can't use
because it is to large. Now for month
we can have any number and multiply it by
so we have the solution
. For October we need a
and a
so we have
as our choices. For November we have two choices which are
.Now for December we have
options. Summing
we get
solutions.
