Ant Amelia starts on the number line at $0$ and crawls in the following manner. For $n=1,2,3,$ Amelia chooses a time duration $t_n$ and an increment $x_n$ independently and uniformly at random from the interval $(0,1).$ During the $n$th step of the process, Amelia moves $x_n$ units in the positive direction, using up $t_n$ minutes. If the total elapsed time has exceeded $1$ minute during the $n$th step, she stops at the end of that step; otherwise, she continues with the next step, taking at most $3$ steps in all. What is the probability that Amelia’s position when she stops will be greater than $1$?

Let $P(x)$ be a polynomial with rational coefficients such that when $P(x)$ is divided by the polynomial $x^2 + x + 1$, the remainder is $x + 2$, and when $P(x)$ is divided by the polynomial $x^2 + 1$, the remainder is $2x + 1$. There is a unique polynomial of least degree with these two properties. What is the sum of the squares of the coefficients of that polynomial?

Consider systems of three linear equations with unknowns $x,$ $y,$ and $z,$
\begin{align*}
a_1 x + b_1 y + c_1 z = 0 \\
a_2 x + b_2 y + c_2 z = 0 \\
a_3 x + b_3 y + c_3 z = 0
\end{align*}
where each of the coefficients is either $0$ or $1$ and the system has a solution other than $x = y = z = 0.$ For example, one such system is $\{1x + 1y + 0z = 0, 0x + 1y + 1z = 0, 0x + 0y + 0z = 0\}$ with a nonzero solution of $\{x, y, z\} = \{1, -1, 1\}.$ How many such systems are there? (The equations in a system need not be distinct, and two systems containing the same equations in a different order are considered different.)

Each square in a $5 \times 5$ grid is either filled or empty, and has up to eight adjacent neighboring squares, where neighboring squares share either a side or a corner. The grid is transformed by the following rules:
[list]
[*] Any filled square with two or three filled neighbors remains filled.
[*] Any empty square with exactly three filled neighbors becomes a filled square.
[*] All other squares remain empty or become empty.
[/list]
A sample transformation is shown in the figure below.

Suppose the $5 \times 5$ grid has a border of empty squares surrounding a $3 \times 3$ subgrid.
