We are given a line of ants placed at integer positions from 1 to N. Ant i starts exactly at position i and has weight i. At time zero each ant independently chooses a direction, left or right, with equal probability. All ants then move at the same constant speed.

A truth table of order $n$ is a binary string of length $2^n$. A bead is a truth table $beta$ that is not of the form $alphaalpha$. A Boolean function is sweet if every subtable obtained by fixing any prefix of variables is a bead.

We start with a single banknote of value $A$, and we want to end up with the ability to pay exactly $B$, where $A B$. The only tool available is a vending machine: we spend some amount of money on goods, and the machine gives back change.

We are given a cyclic sequence of phases, each phase adding some value to our current amount of money. The twist is that money is never allowed to go below zero, if an operation would make it negative, it is clamped back to zero instead.

We start with a collection of boxes, each box containing some number of balls. One operation modifies this configuration in a very specific way.

Let $f(x1,dots,xn)$ be a Boolean function with truth table $tau$ of length $2^n$. A truth table is called a bead if it is not of the form $alphaalpha$.

We are given a binary grid consisting of white and red cells. The task is to determine whether we can reproduce exactly the red cells using a sequence of stamping operations with two fixed brush shapes. Each operation selects a cell and applies one of two patterns.

We are given a collection of songs, each song having a base enjoyment value. We build a playlist of length k by repeatedly choosing which song to play next.

We are given a rectangular grid of letters. The grid can be modified, but only in a very specific way: we may reorder entire rows arbitrarily and we may reorder entire columns arbitrarily.

We are given a sequence of integers. Think of them as daily “changes” to some running value that starts at zero. As we go from left to right, we maintain a running sum. Each element either increases or decreases this running sum.

Let Eq.
