Let $P(x)$ be a quadratic polynomial satisfying the following conditions: [list] [*] $P(x)$ has leading coefficient $1$. [*] $P(x)$ has nonnegative integer roots that are at most $2022$. [*] the set of the roots of $P(x)$ is a subset of the set of the roots of $P(P(x))$. [/list] Let $S$ be the set of all such possible $P(x)$, and let $Q(x)$ be the polynomial obtained upon summing all the elements of $S$. Find the sum of the roots of $Q(x)$.

Two circles with radius $2$, $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$, are centered at $O_1$ and $O_2$ respectively. The circles $\omega_1$ and $\omega_2$ are externally tangent to each other and internally tangent to a larger circle $\omega$ centered at $O$ at points $A$ and $B$, respectively. Let $M$ be the midpoint of minor arc $AB$. Let $P$ be the intersection of $\omega_1$ and $O_1M$, and let $Q$ be the intersection of $\omega_2$ and $O_2M$. Given that there is a point $R$ on $\omega$ such that $\triangle PQR$ is equilateral, the radius of $\omega$ can be written as $\frac{a+\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are positive integers and $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime. Find $a+b+c$.

A 3-dimensional chess board consists of $ 4 \times 4 \times 4$ unit cubes. A rook can step from any unit cube K to any other unit cube that has a common face with K. A bishop can step from any unit cube K to any other unit cube that has a common edge with K, but does not have a common face. One move of both a rook and a bishop consists of an arbitrary positive number of consecutive steps in the same direction. Find the average number of possible moves for either piece, where the average is taken over all possible starting cubes K.
