Problem 9*

Find the number of four-element subsets of $\{1,2,3,4,\dots, 20\}$ with the property that two distinct elements of a subset have a sum of $16$ , and two distinct elements of a subset have a sum of $24$ . For example, $\{3,5,13,19\}$ and $\{6,10,20,18\}$ are two such subsets.

Problem 10*

The wheel shown below consists of two circles and five spokes, with a label at each point where a spoke meets a circle. A bug walks along the wheel, starting at point $A$ . At every step of the process, the bug walks from one labeled point to an adjacent labeled point.
