Chandler the Octopus along with his friends Maisy the Bear and Jeff the Frog are solving LMT problems. It takes Maisy $3$ minutes to solve a problem, Chandler $4$ minutes to solve a problem and Jeff $5$ minutes to solve a problem. They start at $12:00$ pm, and Chandler has a dentist appointment from $12:10$ pm to $12:30$, after which he comes back and continues solving LMT problems. The time it will take for them to finish solving $50$ LMT problems, in hours, is $m/n$ ,where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m +n$.

Suppose all of the 200 integers lying in between (and including) 1 and 200 are written on a blackboard. Suppose we choose exactly 100 of these numbers and circle each one of them. By the [i]score[/i] of such a choice, we mean the square of the difference between the sum of the circled numbers and the sum of the non-circled numbers.

Larry and Diane start $100$ miles apart along a straight road. Starting at the same time, Larry and Diane drive their cars toward each other. Diane drives at a constant rate of 30 miles per hour. To make it interesting, at the beginning of each 10 mile stretch, if the two drivers have not met, Larry flips a fair coin. If the coin comes up heads, Larry drives the next 10 miles at 20 miles per hour. If the coin comes up tails, Larry drives the next 10 miles at 60 miles per hour. Larry and Diane stop driving when they meet. The expected number of times that Larry flips the coin is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n.$
