Problem Statement
p21. If . Calculate the sum .
p22. Find all real values of that minimize the difference between the local maximum and local minimum of .
p23. Bessie is playing a game. She labels a square with vertices labeled in clockwise order. There are possible moves: she can rotate her square degrees about the center, degrees about the center, degrees about the center; or she can flip across diagonal , flip across diagonal , flip the square horizontally (flip the square so that vertices A and B are switched and vertices and are switched), or flip the square vertically (vertices and are switched, vertices and are switched). In how many ways can Bessie arrive back at the original square for the first time in moves?
p24. A positive integer is called happy if the sum of its digits equals the two-digit integer formed by its two leftmost digits. Find the number of -digit happy integers.
