Problem 7

Unconventional dice are to be designed such that the six faces are marked with numbers from $1$ to $6$ with $1$ and $2$ appearing on opposite faces. Further, each face is colored either red or yellow with opposite faces always of the same color. Two dice are considered to have the same design if one of them can be rotated to obtain a dice that has the same numbers and colors on the corresponding faces as the other one.

Problem 26

In the land of Binary, the unit of currency is called Ben and currency notes are available in denominations 1, 2, 2 2 , 2 3 , . . . Bens. The rules of the Government of Binary stipulate that one can not use more than two notes of any one denomination in any transaction. For example, one can give a change for 2 Bens in two ways: 2 one Ben notes or 1 two Ben note. For 5 Ben one can give 1 one Ben note and 1 four Ben note or 1 one Ben note and 2 two Ben notes. Using 5 one Ben notes or 3 one Ben notes and 1 two Ben notes for a 5 Ben transaction is prohibited. Find the number of ways in which one can give change for 100 Bens, following the rules of the Government.

Problem 28

On each side of an equilateral triangle with side length n units, where n is an integer, $1 \le n \le 100$ , consider $n-1$ points that divide the side into n equal segments. Through these points, draw lines parallel to the sides of the triangle, obtaining a net of equilateral triangles of side length one unit. On each of the vertices of these small triangles, place a coin head up. Two coins are said to be adjacent if the distance between them is 1 unit. A move consists of flipping over any three mutually adjacent coins. Find the number of values of n for which it is possible to turn all coins tail up after a finite number of moves.

Problem 29

A positive integer $n > 1$ is called $beautiful$ if $n$ can be written in one and only one way as $n = a_1 + a_2 +... + a_k = a_1 a_2 ... a_k$ for some positive integers $a_1, a_2, . . . , a_k$ , where $k > 1$ and $a_1 \geq a_2 \geq ... \geq a_k$ . (For example 6 is beautiful since 6 = 3 · 2 · 1 = 3 + 2 + 1 , and this is unique. But 8 is not beautiful since 8 = 4 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 4 · 2 · 1 · 1 as well as 8 = 2 + 2 + 2 + 1 + 1 = 2 · 2 · 2 · 1 · 1 , so uniqueness is lost.) Find the largest beautiful number less than 100.

Problem 30

Let $d(m)$ denote the number of positive integer divisors of a positive integer $m$ . If $r$ is the no of integers $n \leq 2023$ for which $\sum_{i = 1}^{n} d(i)$ is odd, find the sum of the digits of $r$ .
