Canadian Computing Competition: 2023 Stage 1, Senior #5
Alice, the mathematician, likes to study real numbers that are between and
. Her favourite
tool is the filter.
A filter covers part of the number line. When a number reaches a filter, two events can happen. If a number is not covered by the filter, the number will pass through. If a number is covered, the number will be removed.
Alice has infinitely many filters. Her first filters look like this:
In general, the -th filter can be defined as follows:
- Consider the number line from
to
.
- Split this number line into
equal-sized pieces. There are
points and
intervals.
- The
-th filter consists of the
interval,
interval,
interval, and in general, the
interval. The points are not part of the
-th filter.
Alice has instructions for constructing the Cantor set. Start with the number line from
to
. Apply all filters on the number line, and remove the numbers that are covered. The
remaining numbers form the Cantor set.
Alice wants to research the Cantor set, and she came to you for help. Given an integer ,
Alice would like to know which fractions
are in the Cantor set.

Explanation of Sample Output
Here is a diagram of the fractions and the first filters. In reality, there are infinitely many filters.
,
, and
are not in the Cantor set because they were covered by the
filter.
Furthermore, and
are not in the Cantor set because they were covered by the
filter.
It can be shown that the remaining fractions will pass through all filters.
