Ex 1. In a sequence, the first two terms are 64 and 36. Each subsequent term is the average of the
preceding terms. Find the sum of the first 2018 terms.

Ex 2. For any positive integer n, we define the function f(n) to be the sum of the
digits of n and the number of digits of n. For example, f (218) = 2 + 1 + 8 + 3 = 14. (Note:
The first digit of n, reading from left to right, cannot be 0). What is the sum of maximum and
minimum values of n such that f(n) = 6 ?

Ex 3. How many 3-digit positive integers have the property that the product of all of
its digits is equal to 18 ?

Ex 4. Given is the sequence 1, 1, 1, 3, 5, 9, 17, 31, … , where the nth term after the 3rd
term is the sum of three previous terms. For example, the 4th term is 1 + 1 + 1 = 3 and the 5th
term is 1 + 1 + 3 = 5. What is the remainder when the 2018th term is divided by 8 ?

Ex 5. Alex spent a total of $119 in 7 days. Each day, he spent $4 more than the
previous day. How much did Alex spend on the 6th day ?

3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 11, 12, …}, all the
numbers in the sequence are first written as decimals as shown below and then
added up together.
