AIME 1993 Problem 12

  • Paper
  • Answer

The vertices of △ABC\triangle ABC are A=(0,0) A = (0,0)\,, B=(0,420) B = (0,420)\,, and C=(560,0) C = (560,0)\,. The six faces of a die are labeled with two A A\,'s, two B B\,'s, and two C C\,'s. Point P1=(k,m) P_1 = (k,m)\, is chosen in the interior of △ABC\triangle ABC, and points P2 P_2\,, P3 P_3\,, P4,…P_4, \dots are generated by rolling the die repeatedly and applying the rule: If the die shows label L L\,, where L∈{A,B,C}L \in \{A, B, C\}, and Pn P_n\, is the most recently obtained point, then Pn+1P_{n + 1}^{} is the midpoint of PnL‾\overline{P_n L}. Given that P7=(14,92) P_7 = (14,92)\,, what is k+m k + m\,?
