For $n \in \mathbb{N}$, let $P(n)$ denote the product of distinct prime factors of $n$, with $P(1) = 1$. Show that for any $a_0 \in \mathbb{N}$, if we define a sequence $a_{k+1} = a_k + P(a_k)$ for $k \ge 0$, there exists some $k \in \mathbb{N}$ with $a_k/P(a_k) = 2015$.

Given $v = (a,b,c,d) \in \mathbb{N}^4$, let $\Delta^{1} (v) = (|a-b|,|b-c|,|c-d|,|d-a|)$ and $\Delta^{k} (v) = \Delta(\Delta^{k-1} (v))$ for $k > 1$. Define $f(v) = \min\{k \in \mathbb{N} : \Delta^k (v) = (0,0,0,0)\}$ and $\max(v) = \max\{a,b,c,d\}.$ Show that $f(v) < 1000\log \max(v)$ for all sufficiently large $v$ and $f(v) > 0.001 \log \max (v)$ for infinitely many $v$.
For every $n \in \mathbb{N}$, there exist integers $k$ such that $n | k$ and $k$ contains only zeroes and ones in its decimal representation. Let $f(n)$ denote the least possible number of ones in any such $k$. Determine whether there exists a constant $C$ such that $f(n) < C$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$.
Consider a game in the integer points of the real line, where an Angel tries to escape from a Devil. A positive integer $k$ is chosen, and the Angel and the Devil take turns playing. Initially, no point is blocked. The Angel, in point $A$, can move to any point $P$ such that $|AP| \le k$, as long as $P$ is not blocked. The Devil may block an arbitrary point. The Angel loses if it cannot move and wins if it does not lose in finitely many turns. Let $f(k)$ denote the least number of rounds the Devil takes to win. Prove that $$0.5 k \log_2 (k) (1 + o(1)) \le f(k) \le k \log_2(k) (1 +o(1)).$$ Note: $a(x) = b(x) (1+o(1))$ if $\lim_{x \to \infty} \frac{b(x)}{a(x)} = 1$.
Given a triangle $A_1 A_2 A_3$, let $a_i$ denote the side opposite to $A_i$, where indices are taken modulo 3. Let $D_1 \in a_1$. For $D_i \in A_i$, let $\omega_i$ be the incircle of the triangle formed by lines $a_i, a_{i+1}, A_iD_i$, and $D_{i+1} \in a_{i+1}$ with $A_{i+1} D_{i+1}$ tangent to $\omega_i$. Show that the set $\{D_i: i \in \mathbb{N}\}$ is finite.
