A positive integer given in decimal representation anan−1…a1a0‾\overline{ a_na_{n-1} \ldots a_1a_0 } is called monotone if an≤an−1≤⋯≤a0a_n\leq a_{n-1} \leq \cdots \leq a_0 . Determine the number of monotone positive integers with at most 1993 digits.

Problem 3

  • Paper

Circles C1\mathcal C_1 and C2\mathcal C_2 with centers O1O_1 and O2O_2 , respectively, are externally tangent at point λ\lambda . A circle C\mathcal C with center OO touches C1\mathcal C_1 at AA and C2\mathcal C_2 at BB so that the centers O1O_1 , O2O_2 lie inside CC . The common tangent to C1\mathcal C_1 and C2\mathcal C_2 at λ\lambda intersects the circle C\mathcal C at KK and LL . If DD is the midpoint of the segment KLKL , show that ∠O1OO2=∠ADB\angle O_1OO_2 = \angle ADB .
