A bus takes $2$ minutes to drive from one stop to the next, and waits $1$ minute at each stop to let passengers board. Zia takes $5$ minutes to walk from one bus stop to the next. As Zia reaches a bus stop, if the bus is at the previous stop or has already left the previous stop, then she will wait for the bus. Otherwise she will start walking toward the next stop. Suppose the bus and Zia start at the same time toward the library, with the bus $3$ stops behind. After how many minutes will Zia board the bus?

Suppose that \(n\) numbers \(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_n\) are written in a row on a board, where each number is either 0 or 1. These numbers are divided into 10 groups: \[ \underbrace{a_1, \ldots, a_{n_1}}_{n_1}, \underbrace{a_{n_1+1}, \ldots, a_{n_1+n_2}}_{n_2}, \ldots, \underbrace{a_{n_1+\cdots+n_9+1}, \ldots, a_n}_{n_{10}} \] We call a group non-zero if it contains at least one 1. Depending on the initial numbers \(a_1, \ldots, a_n\), different numbers of non-zero groups can be obtained.

# 8.2. Condition: On an island, there are two tribes: knights, who always tell the truth, and liars, who always lie. Four islanders lined up, each 1 meter apart from each other. - The leftmost in the row said: "My fellow tribesman in this row stands 2 meters away from me." - The rightmost in the row said: "My fellow tribesman in this row stands 2 meters away from me." It is known that there are two knights and two liars in the row. What distances could the second and third islanders from the left have mentioned? List all possible options. ## Options for matching: Second islander $\quad 1$ m Third islander $\quad 2$ m 3 m $4$ m #

Tim the Beaver can make three different types of geometrical figures: squares, regular hexagons, and regular octagons. Tim makes a random sequence \( F_{0}, F_{1}, F_{2}, F_{3}, \ldots \) of figures as follows: - \( F_{0} \) is a square. - For every positive integer \( i \), \( F_{i} \) is randomly chosen to be one of the 2 figures distinct from \( F_{i-1} \) (each chosen with equal probability \(\frac{1}{2}\)). - Tim takes 4 seconds to make squares, 6 to make hexagons, and 8 to make octagons. He makes one figure after another, with no breaks in between. Suppose that exactly 17 seconds after he starts making \( F_{0} \), Tim is making a figure with \( n \) sides. What is the expected value of \( n \)?
