For questions 26 to 30, shade the answer as an integer from 0 to 999 in the space provided on the answer sheet.
Question 26 is 6 marks, question 27 is 7 marks, question 28 is 8 marks, question 29 is 9 marks and question 30 is 10 marks.
26. Consider a sequence of letters where each letter is A or B. We call the sequence stable if, when we tally the number of As and the number of Bs in the sequence, working from left to right, the difference is never greater than one. For example, the sequence ABBABA is stable but the sequence AABBAB is not, because after counting the first two letters, the difference is two. How many stable se-quences with eighteen letters are there?

27. Whenever Callum reads a date like 1/8/2013, he incorrectly interprets it as two divisions, with the second one evaluated before the first one:
1 ÷ (8 ÷ 2013) = 2515 8
