4 5Fix a set of integers . An integer is clean if it is the sum of distinct elements of in exactly one way, and
mastermind.h…
view topic
dirty otherwise. Prove that the set of dirty numbers is either empty or infinite.
Note: We consider the empty sum to equal .

5 A robot on the number line starts at . During the first minute, the robot writes down the number . Each mastermind.h…
view topic
minute thereafter, it moves by one, either left or right, with equal probability. It then multiplies the last
number it wrote by , where is the number it just moved to, and is the number of minutes elapsed.
It then writes this number down. For example, if the robot moves right during the second minute, it would
write down .
Find the expected sum of all numbers it writes down, given that it is finite.
