The sequence of numbers \(a_1, a_2, \dots\) is given by the conditions \(a_1 = 1\), \(a_2 = 143\) and
for all \(n \geq 2\).
Prove that all members of the sequence are integers.
On a calculator keypad, there are the numbers from 0 to 9 and signs of two actions (see the figure). First, the display shows the number 0. You can press any keys. The calculator performs the actions in the sequence of clicks. If the action sign is pressed several times, the calculator will only remember the last click.
a) The button with the multiplier sign breaks and does not work. The Scattered Scientist pressed several buttons in a random sequence. Which result of the resulting sequence of actions is more likely: an even number or an odd number?
b) Solve the previous problem if the multiplication symbol button is repaired.
In a row there are 2023 numbers. The first number is 1. It is known that each number, except the first and the last, is equal to the sum of two neighboring ones. Find the last number.
