Prove or disprove the existence of a function \( f:[0, 1] \to [0, 1] \) with the following property:
for any interval \( (a, b) \subset [0, 1] \) with \( a<b \), \( f((a, b)) = [0, 1] \).
Let \(p\) be a prime number at least three and let \(k\) be a positive integer smaller than \(p\). Given \(a_1,\dots, a_k\in \mathbb{F}_p\) and distinct elements \(b_1,\dots, b_k\in \mathbb{F}_p\), prove that there exists a permutation \(\sigma\) of \([k]\) such that the values of \(a_i + b_{\sigma(i)}\) are distinct modulo \(p\).
Let \(S\) be a set of distinct \(20\) integers. A set \(T_A\) is defined as \(T_A:=\{ s_1+s_2+s_3 \mid s_1, s_2, s_3 \in S\}\). What is the smallest possible cardinality of \(T_A\)?

Let \(\phi = \frac{1+\sqrt{5}}{2}\). Let \(f(1)=1\) and for \(n\geq 1\), let
\[ f(n+1) = \left\{\begin{array}{ll}

f(n)+1 & \text{ otherwise}.
\end{array}\right.\]
