Hello fellow users of AOPS, my name is $\mathbb{EZNUTELLA} \text{888}$ ! As you can see I like math. That's why I'm here.

I have taken many math competitions, including the Canadian Gauss, Pascal and Cayley. I have also taken Canadian Intermediate Mathematics Examination, and the Math Challengers competition sponsored by the Canadian Math Challengers Society. I also have taken AMC 8, and this year I'm taking the AMC 10, as well as the COMC (Canadian Open Mathematics Challenge).

$[asy] size(6cm); pair D=(0,0), C=(6,0), B=(6,3), A=(0,3); draw(A--B--C--D--cycle); draw(B--D); draw(A--(6,2)); draw(A--(6,1)); label("$A$", A, dir(135)); label("$B$", B, dir(45)); label("$C$", C, dir(-45)); label("$D$", D, dir(-135)); label("$Q$", extension(A,(6,1),B,D),dir(-90)); label("$P$", extension(A,(6,2),B,D), dir(90)); label("$F$", (6,1), dir(0)); label("$E$", (6,2), dir(0)); [/asy]$

We can set coordinates for the points. $D=(0,0), C=(6,0), B=(6,3), A=(0,3)$ . The line $BD$ 's equation is $y = \frac{1}{2}$ , $AE$ 's equation is $y = -\frac{1}{6}x + 3$ , and line $AF$ 's equation is $y = -\frac{1}{3}x + 3$ . Adding the equations of lines $BD$ and $AE$ , the coordinates of $P$ is $(\frac{9}{2},\frac{9}{4})$ . Furthermore the coordinates $Q$ is $(\frac{18}{5}, \frac{9}{5})$ . Using the Pythagorean Theorem, the length of $QD$ is $\sqrt[2]{(\frac{18}{5})^2+(\frac{9}{5})^2} = \sqrt[2]{\frac{405}{25}} = \frac{\sqrt[2]{405}}{5} = \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{5}$ , and the length of $DP$ = $\sqrt[2]{(\frac{9}{2})^2+(\frac{9}{4})^2} = \sqrt[2]{\frac{81}{4} + \frac{81}{16}} = \sqrt[2]{\frac{405}{16}} = \frac{\sqrt[2]{405}}{4} = \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{4}.$ PQ = DP - DQ = \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{5} - \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{4} = \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{20}. The length of $DB = \sqrt[2]{6^2 + 3^2} = \sqrt[2]{45} = 3\sqrt[2]{5}$ . Then $BP= 3\sqrt[2]{5} - \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{4} = frac{3\sqrt{5}}{4}. Then the ratio$ BP : PQ : QD: = frac{3\sqrt{5}}{4} : \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{20} : \frac{9\sqrt{5}}{5} = 15\sqrt[2]{5} : 9\sqrt[2]{5} : 36\sqrt[2]{5} = 15 : 9 : 36 = 5 : 3 : 12. Then $r, s,$ and $t$ is $5, 3,$ and $12$ , respectively. The problem tells us to find $r + s + t$ , so $5 + 3 + 12 = \boxed{\textbf{(E) }20}$
