p1. Let $U_n$ be a sequence of numbers that satisfy: $U_1=1$, $U_n=1+U_1U_2U_3...U_{n-1}$ for $n=2,3,...,2020$ Prove that $\frac{1}{U_1}+\frac{1}{U_2}+...+\frac{1}{U_{2019}}<2$ p2. If $a= \left \lceil \sqrt{2020+\sqrt{2020+...+\sqrt{2020}}} \right\rceil$ , $b= \left \lfloor \sqrt{1442+\sqrt{1442+...+\sqrt{1442}}} \right \rfloor$, and $c=a-b$, then determine the value of $c$. p3. Fajar will buy a pair of koi fish in the aquarium. If he randomly picks $2$ fish, then the probability that the $2$ fish are of the same sex is $1/2$. Prove that the number of koi fish in the aquarium is a perfect square. p4. A pharmacist wants to put $155$ ml of liquid into $3$ bottles. There are 3 bottle choices, namely a. Bottle A $\bullet$ Capacity: $5$ ml $\bullet$ The price of one bottle is $10,000$ Rp $\bullet$ If you buy the next bottle, you will get a $20\%$ discount, up to the $4$th purchase or if you buy $4$ bottles, get $ 1$ free bottle A b. Bottle B $\bullet$ Capacity: $8$ ml $\bullet$ The price of one bottle is $15.000$ Rp $\bullet$ If you buy $2$ : $20\%$ discount $\bullet$ If you buy $3$ : Free $ 1$ bottle of B c. Bottle C $\bullet$ Capacity : $14$ ml $\bullet$ Buy $ 1$ : $25.000$ Rp $\bullet$ Buy $2$ : Free $ 1$ bottle of A $\bullet$ Buy $3$ : Free $ 1$ bottle of B If in one purchase, you can only buy a maximum of $4$ bottles, then look for the possibility of pharmacists putting them in bottles so that the cost is minimal (bottles do not have to be filled to capacity). p5. Two circles, let's say $L_1$ and $L_2$ have the same center, namely at point $O$. Radius of $L_1$ is $10$ cm and radius of $L_2$ is $5$ cm. The points $A, B, C, D, E, F$ lie on $L_1$ so the arcs $AB,BC,CD,DE,EF,FA$ are equal. The points $P, Q, R$ lie on $L_2$ so that the arcs $PQ,QR,RS$ are equal and $PA=PF=QB=QC=RD=RD$ . Determine the area of the shaded region.

Thanks @post #4 and @post #5. I understood my mistake.

@above, the wording is correct I do not think that the probability that 2 selected fish are NOT same sex should be relevant to the problem.

For Problem 3, another way the translation could be made is as follows: Fahmi is going to buy a pair of koi fish contained in an aquarium. When he picks a pair randomly (from said aquarium), the probability that the sex of both fish are the same is equal to $\frac{1}{2}$. Prove that the number of koi fish inside the aquarium is a perfect square. (I took the problem from a different source, hence the different name.) The solution of @2above is almost correct, except for when they got the second equation, it's not $\frac{x + y}{\binom{n}{2}}$, but it's $\frac{xy}{\binom{n}{2}}$. This problem is similar to an old AIME problem. Its solution is supposed to be like this:

H*** NOO I MISSED 1 SO I GOT 7 AS THE SOLUTION
