Solution: 2013-17 Repeated numbers

A real sequence \( x_1, x_2, x_3, \cdots \) satisfies the relation \( x_{n+2} = x_{n+1} + x_n \) for \( n = 1, 2, 3, \cdots \). If a number \( r \) satisfies \( x_i = x_j = r \) for some \( i \) and \( j \) \( (i \neq j) \), we say that \( r \) is a repeated number in this sequence. Prove that there can be more than \( 2013 \) repeated numbers in such a sequence, but it is impossible to have infinitely many repeated numbers.

Solution: 2013-15 Bounded random variable

Let \( x, y \) be real numbers satisfying \( y \geq x^2 + 1 \). Prove that there exists a bounded random variable \( Z \) such that
\[
E[Z] = 0, E[Z^2] = 1, E[Z^3] = x, E[Z^4] = y.
\]
Here, \( E \) denotes the expectation.
