Problem 18

Jonas has a collection of toys, and he wanted to organize them into boxes. The collection contains $21$ toys, and he wants to put them into $21$ different boxes, each numbered from $1$ to $21$, respectively. Also, each boxes can only contain one toy. However, due to his believe of equity, he decided to do a paper lottery by putting twenty one sheets of paper that represents each positive integer from $1$ to $21$, inclusive. After he randomly choose any sheet, he would take out and not replace back into the cup. The number on the sheet he chose for a specific toy would determine the box that the toy would stay in. Jonas first rearranged all the toys and started this procedure. What is the probability that toy $1$ would be in box $\#1$?

At Janus high school, in a math class, students are playing an icebreaker game. They each wrote a name tag that has their name, and each names are different. Then, they gave their name tag to the teacher, and the teacher rearranged them and randomly give each student a name tag after rearrangement.

Problem 25

In the following diagram, the three concentric squares have areas $64$, $36$, $16$ and $2$ units, respectively. The smallest square was formed by rotating one of the larger squares by $45$ degrees. John has a uniform circular coin with radius $\frac{1}{4}$, and he wants to place it in the sheet of three concentric squares such that a part of the coin lands in the sheet(Not necessarily the entire coin). To do that, he would first randomly choose and label a point for the coin's center(Possibly outside this diagram), and then he would place the coin. The probability that the coin would intersects this diagram at two points can be expressed as \[\frac{1}{1152+\pi}(a+b\sqrt{2}+c\pi)\] Find $a+b+c$.
