==Problem 1==
 
 
Bobby is bored one day and flips a fair coin until it lands on tails. Bobby wins if the coin lands on heads a positive even number of times in the sequence of tosses. Then the probability that Bobby wins can be expressed in the form <math>\tfrac mn</math>, where <math>m</math> and <math>n</math> are relatively prime positive integers. Find <math>m+n</math>.

==Problem 2==
 
 
A bag is big enough to hold exactly 6 large pencils, 12 medium pencils, or 30 small pencils, with no space left over. Given that there is 1 large pencil and 3 medium pencils currently in the bag, what is the maximum number of small pencils that may be added to the bag? Note that there may still be space left over in the bag.

At the beginning of day <math>1</math>, there is a single bacterium in a petri dish. During each day, each bacterium in the petri dish divides into <math>a>1</math> new bacteria, and <math>b\ge 1</math> bacteria are added to the petri dish (these bacteria do not divide on the day they were added).

Problem 1

Suppose $a, b, c$ are distinct digits where $a \not= 0$ such that $\left(\overline{abc}\right)^2 = \overline{bad00}$ where $d = a+b$. Find $a+2b$.

Solution

Problem 2

Let $T=$ TNYWR. Now, let $\ell$ and $m$ have equations $y=(2+\sqrt{3})x+16$ and $y=\frac{x\sqrt{3}}{3}+20,$ respectively. Suppose that $A$ is a point on $\ell,$ such that the shortest distance from $A$ to $m$ is $T$. Given that $O$ is a point on $m$ such that $\overline{AO}\perp m,$ and $P$ is a point on $\ell$ such that $PO\perp \ell$, find $PO^2.$

Solution

Problem 3

Let $T=$ TNYWR. Now, let $ABC$ a triangle such that $AB=T,$ $AC=100$, and $\angle{ABC}=36^{\circ}.$ Find the remainder when the product of all possible values of $BC$ is divided by $1000$.
