Let's start by drawing a diagram of the triangle XYZ:

```
         X
         |\
         | \
         |  \
         |   \
         |    \
         |     \
         |      \
         |       \
         |        \
         |         \
         |          \
         |__________\
         Y    12     Z
            6
```

The area of triangle XYZ is (1/2) * 12 * 6 = 36.

Let's choose a coordinate system with the origin at point X, and the x-axis along the line XY. Then the coordinates of points Y and Z are (12, 0) and (0, 6), respectively.

Since point D is chosen at random within the triangle, any point in the triangle is equally likely to be chosen. So we can assume that the coordinates of point D are (x, y), where 0 ≤ x ≤ 12 and 0 ≤ y ≤ 6.

The area of triangle XYD is given by the formula:

(1/2) * base * height

where the base is the length of XY, and the height is the perpendicular distance from point D to line XY. The height can be expressed as:

h = (6 - y) * (x/12)

Therefore, the area of triangle XYD is:

A = (1/2) * 12 * (6 - y) * (x/12) = x * (6 - y)

We want the probability that the area of triangle XYD is at most 20. So we need to find the region in the xy-plane where x * (6 - y) ≤ 20.

If we graph this region, we get a trapezoid with vertices at (0, 0), (0, 6), (20/3, 2/3), and (12, 0):

```
       |\
       | \
       |  \
       |   \
       |    \
       |     \
       |      \
       |       \
       |        \
       |         \
       |__________\
```

The area of this trapezoid is:

(1/2) * (6) * (20/3) + (1/2) * (12 - 20/3) * (6 - 2/3) = 44/3

Therefore, the probability that the area of triangle XYD is at most 20 is:

P(A ≤ 20) = (area of trapezoid) / (area of triangle XYZ) = (44/3) / 36 = 11/27

So the probability that the area of triangle XYD is at most 20 is 11/27.

We can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to count the number of ways to distribute the balls among the boxes.

First, let's count the total number of ways to distribute the 10 indistinguishable balls among the 8 distinguishable boxes, without any restrictions. This is equivalent to finding the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation:

x1 + x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 = 10

where xi represents the number of balls in the ith box. By stars and bars, the number of solutions is:

(10 + 8 - 1) choose (8 - 1) = 816 ways

Now let's count the number of ways to distribute the balls such that no box is empty. We can use the principle of inclusion-exclusion to count the number of solutions in which one or more boxes are empty.

The number of solutions in which box 1 is empty is equivalent to finding the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation:

x2 + x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 = 10

where xi represents the number of balls in the ith box (excluding box 1). By stars and bars, the number of solutions is:

(10 + 7 - 1) choose (7 - 1) = 330 ways

Similarly, there are 330 ways to distribute the balls such that box 2 is empty, and so on, for a total of 8 × 330 = 2640 ways.

However, we have double-counted the solutions in which two or more boxes are empty. To count these solutions, we can use the same approach as before.

The number of solutions in which boxes 1 and 2 are empty is equivalent to finding the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation:

x3 + x4 + x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 = 10

where xi represents the number of balls in the ith box (excluding boxes 1 and 2). By stars and bars, the number of solutions is:

(10 + 6 - 1) choose (6 - 1) = 200 ways

Similarly, there are 200 ways to distribute the balls such that boxes 1 and 3 are empty, and so on, for a total of 28 × 200 = 5600 ways.

We have now counted all the solutions in which one or more boxes are empty, but we have subtracted the solutions in which two or more boxes are empty twice. So we need to add these solutions back in.

The number of solutions in which boxes 1 and 2 are empty, and boxes 3 and 4 are empty is equivalent to finding the number of non-negative integer solutions to the equation:

x5 + x6 + x7 + x8 = 10

where xi represents the number of balls in the ith box (excluding boxes 1, 2, 3, and 4). By stars and bars, the number of solutions is:

(10 + 4 - 1) choose (4 - 1) = 84 ways

Similarly, there are 84 ways to distribute the balls such that boxes 1 and 3 are empty, boxes 1 and 4 are empty, and so on, for a total of 70 × 84 = 5880 ways.

Therefore, the total number of ways to distribute the balls among the boxes such that at least one box is empty is:

816 - 2640 + 5880 = 14056

So there are 14056 ways to distribute the 10 indistinguishable balls among the 8 distinguishable boxes, if at least one of the boxes must be empty.

We can approach this problem by considering some special values of x, and then generalizing to all real values of x.

First, let's set x = 3. Then, the equation becomes:

F(3) + F(1) = 3

Since we know nothing about F(1), let's set x = 4 and use the equation again:

F(4) + F(5/4) = 4

Now we have two equations with two unknowns (F(1) and F(4)). We can solve this system of equations to get:

F(1) = 3 - F(3)
F(4) = 4 - F(5/4)

Now, let's set x = 5/4 in the original equation:

F(5/4) + F(1/2) = 5/4

We can substitute F(1) and F(5/4) in terms of F(3) and simplify:

(3 - F(3)) + (4 - (4 - F(5/4))) = 5/4

Simplifying further:

F(3) - F(5/4) = 1/4

Now, let's set x = 7/5 in the original equation:

F(7/5) + F(1/5) = 7/5

We can substitute F(1) and F(5/4) in terms of F(3) and simplify:

(3 - F(3)) + (4 - F(4/5)) = 7/5

Simplifying further:

F(3) - F(4/5) = 1/5

We now have two equations with two unknowns (F(3) and F(4/5)). We can solve this system of equations to get:

F(3) = 13/8
F(4/5) = 17/10

Now we can use the equation F(x) + F((2x - 3)/x) = x to find F(x) for any real value of x (except for x = 1 and x = 2). For example, let's find F(3/2):

F(3/2) + F(1/2) = 3/2

We know F(1/2) from the previous calculations, so we can solve for F(3/2):

F(3/2) = 5/8

Similarly, we can find F(4/3), F(5/3), F(7/4), and so on, by repeatedly applying the equation. 

In general, we can use the following steps to find F(x) for any real value of x (except for x = 1 and x = 2):

1. Set x = some rational number, and use the equation to find F(x) in terms of F(y), where y is another rational number.
2. Repeat step 1 with different values of x and y to get more equations involving F(x) and F(y).
3. Use the system of equations to solve for F(x) in terms of F(y) for any x and y.

It turns out that the solution is:

F(x) = (2x^2 - 9x + 6)/(x^2 - 3x + 2)

So F(x) is a rational function with expanded polynomials in the numerator and denominator.

We can solve this problem using geometric probability. 

Imagine the stick as a line segment of length 6 on a coordinate plane, where one endpoint is at the origin (0,0) and the other endpoint is at (6,0). We can choose the two points where the stick is broken by selecting two random points on the line segment. The location of the first point can be represented by a number between 0 and 6, and the location of the second point can be represented by a number between the location of the first point and 6.

If we plot these two points on the coordinate plane, we get a rectangle with area 18 (since the base is 6 and the height is 3). The total number of ways to choose two points on the stick is equal to the area of this rectangle.

Now, we need to find the region of the rectangle that corresponds to the case where all three resulting pieces are shorter than 5 units. 

Suppose the first point is located at a distance x from the origin. Then, the second point can be located anywhere between x and 6. The length of the first resulting piece is x, the length of the second resulting piece is y - x (where y is the location of the second point), and the length of the third resulting piece is 6 - y. 

For all three resulting pieces to be shorter than 5 units, we need:

x < 5
y - x < 5
6 - y < 5

Rearranging these inequalities, we get:

0 < x < 5
x < y < x + 5
1 < y < 4

The region of the rectangle that corresponds to this set of inequalities is a trapezoid with base 4 and height 3. The area of this trapezoid is (1/2)(4 + 1)(3) = 7.5.

Therefore, the probability that all three resulting pieces are shorter than 5 units is equal to the area of the trapezoid divided by the area of the rectangle:

P = 7.5/18 = 5/12

So the probability that all three resulting pieces are shorter than 5 units is 5/12.

We can start by listing out the first few terms of the sequence and looking for a pattern:

2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 13, 14, 15, 17, 19, 21, 22, 23, 26, 29, 30, 31, 33, 34, ...

Notice that the sequence includes all positive integers, except for those that are perfect squares, perfect cubes, or any other perfect power (a number that can be written as a positive integer raised to some positive integer power).

To find the 100th term in the sequence, we can continue listing out terms until we get to the 100th term. However, there is a more efficient way to do this.

Let's count how many terms are in the sequence that are less than or equal to some integer n. We can do this by counting the number of perfect squares, perfect cubes, and perfect fourth powers that are less than or equal to n, and subtracting this from n. For example, if n = 20, then the perfect squares less than or equal to 20 are 1, 4, 9, 16, and the perfect cubes less than or equal to 20 are 1, 8. The perfect fourth powers less than or equal to 20 are just 1. So the number of terms in the sequence less than or equal to 20 is:

20 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 12

Therefore, the 12th term in the sequence is the largest term less than or equal to 20.

Now we can use this method to find the 100th term in the sequence. We want to find the largest integer n such that there are 100 terms in the sequence less than or equal to n. Let's try some values of n:

For n = 10, there are:

10 - 3 - 2 - 1 = 4

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 10.

For n = 20, there are:

20 - 5 - 2 - 1 = 12

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 20.

For n = 30, there are:

30 - 5 - 3 - 1 = 21

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 30.

For n = 40, there are:

40 - 6 - 3 - 1 = 30

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 40.

For n = 50, there are:

50 - 7 - 3 - 1 = 39

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 50.

For n = 60, there are:

60 - 7 - 3 - 1 = 49

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 60.

For n = 70, there are:

70 - 8 - 3 - 1 = 58

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 70.

For n = 80, there are:

80 - 8 - 3 - 1 = 68

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 80.

For n = 90, there are:

90 - 9 - 3 - 1 = 77

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 90.

For n = 100, there are:

100 - 9 - 3 - 1 = 87

terms in the sequence less than or equal to 100.

Therefore, the 100th term in the sequence is the largest term less than or equal to 100, which is 97.

So the 100th term in Cai's list is 97.

There are a total of 4 different colors and 7 different numbers, so there are 4 x 7 = 28 cards in total. 

To find the probability that Yunseol draws 3 cards with the same number, we can break it down into cases based on the number that appears on the three cards.

Case 1: Yunseol draws 3 cards with the number 1.
There are 4 colors to choose from for the first card, 3 colors left to choose from for the second card, and 2 colors left to choose from for the third card. So there are 4 x 3 x 2 = 24 ways to choose the colors for the cards. Once the colors are chosen, there is only 1 card with the number 1 of each color, so there is only 1 way to choose the cards for each color. Therefore, there are 1 x 1 x 1 = 1 way to choose the cards for each set of colors. Finally, there are 7 ways to choose which number appears on the three cards. So there are a total of 24 x 7 = 168 ways to draw 3 cards with the number 1.

Case 2: Yunseol draws 3 cards with the number 2.
Using similar reasoning as above, there are 24 ways to choose the colors for the cards, 1 way to choose the cards for each color, and 7 ways to choose which number appears on the three cards. So there are a total of 24 x 7 = 168 ways to draw 3 cards with the number 2.

Cases 3-6: Yunseol draws 3 cards with the number 3, 4, 5, or 6.
By symmetry, the number of ways to draw 3 cards with each of these numbers is the same as the number of ways to draw 3 cards with the number 2. So there are a total of 4 x 168 = 672 ways to draw 3 cards with the same number.

To choose the remaining 2 cards, there are 25 cards left in the deck (since Yunseol has already drawn 3 cards). The probability of drawing a card with a different number than the first 3 cards is 20/25, or 4/5, for each draw. So the probability of drawing 2 cards with a different number than the first 3 cards is (4/5)^2 = 16/25.

Therefore, the probability of drawing 3 cards with the same number and then 2 cards with different numbers is (672/28 C 3) x 16/25 = 0.384 or approximately 38.4%.

So there is a 38.4% chance that Yunseol draws 3 cards with the same number.
