Problem 2

  • Paper
  • Answer

The teams T1T_1, T2T_2, T3T_3, and T4T_4 are in the playoffs. In the semifinal matches, T1T_1 plays T4T_4, and T2T_2 plays T3T_3. The winners of those two matches will play each other in the final match to determine the champion. When TiT_i plays TjT_j, the probability that TiT_i wins is ii+j\frac{i}{i+j}, and the outcomes of all the matches are independent. The probability that T4T_4 will be the champion is pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.

A triangle has vertices A(0,0)A(0,0), B(12,0)B(12,0), and C(8,10)C(8,10). The probability that a randomly chosen point inside the triangle is closer to vertex BB than to either vertex AA or vertex CC can be written as pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.

Problem 9

  • Paper
  • Answer

A special deck of cards contains 4949 cards, each labeled with a number from 11 to 77 and colored with one of seven colors. Each number-color combination appears on exactly one card. Sharon will select a set of eight cards from the deck at random. Given that she gets at least one card of each color and at least one card with each number, the probability that Sharon can discard one of her cards and still\textit{still} have at least one card of each color and at least one card with each number is pq\frac{p}{q}, where pp and qq are relatively prime positive integers. Find p+qp+q.

Five towns are connected by a system of roads. There is exactly one road connecting each pair of towns. Find the number of ways there are to make all the roads one-way in such a way that it is still possible to get from any town to any other town using the roads (possibly passing through other towns on the way).

Problem 12

  • Answer

Circle C0C_0 has radius 11, and the point A0A_0 is a point on the circle. Circle C1C_1 has radius r<1r<1 and is internally tangent to C0C_0 at point A0A_0. Point A1A_1 lies on circle C1C_1 so that A1A_1 is located 90∘90^{\circ} counterclockwise from A0A_0 on C1C_1. Circle C2C_2 has radius r2r^2 and is internally tangent to C1C_1 at point A1A_1. In this way a sequence of circles C1,C2,C3,…C_1,C_2,C_3,\ldots and a sequence of points on the circles A1,A2,A3,…A_1,A_2,A_3,\ldots are constructed, where circle CnC_n has radius rnr^n and is internally tangent to circle Cn−1C_{n-1} at point An−1A_{n-1}, and point AnA_n lies on CnC_n 90∘90^{\circ} counterclockwise from point An−1A_{n-1}, as shown in the figure below. There is one point BB inside all of these circles. When r=1160r = \frac{11}{60}, the distance from the center C0C_0 to BB is mn\frac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
