Problem 4

Let nn be a nonnegative integer. Determine the number of ways that one can choose (n+1)2(n+1)^2 sets Si,j⊆{1,2,…,2n}S_{i,j}\subseteq\{1,2,\ldots,2n\} , for integers i,ji,j with 0≤i,j≤n0\leq i,j\leq n , such that:

  • for all 0≤i,j≤n0\leq i,j\leq n , the set Si,jS_{i,j} has i+ji+j elements; and
  • Si,j⊆Sk,lS_{i,j}\subseteq S_{k,l} whenever 0≤i≤k≤n0\leq i\leq k\leq n and 0≤j≤l≤n0\leq j\leq l\leq n .

Problem 5

Two rational numbers mn\tfrac{m}{n} and nm\tfrac{n}{m} are written on a blackboard, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. At any point, Evan may pick two of the numbers xx and yy written on the board and write either their arithmetic mean x+y2\tfrac{x+y}{2} or their harmonic mean 2xyx+y\tfrac{2xy}{x+y} on the board as well. Find all pairs (m,n)(m,n) such that Evan can write 1 on the board in finitely many steps.
