Two teams are in a best-two-out-of-three playoff: the teams will play at most $3$ games, and the winner of the playoff is the first team to win $2$ games. The first game is played on Team A's home field, and the remaining games are played on Team B's home field. Team A has a $\frac{2}{3}$ chance of winning at home, and its probability of winning when playing away from home is $p$. Outcomes of the games are independent. The probability that Team A wins the playoff is $\frac{1}{2}$. Then $p$ can be written in the form $\frac{1}{2}(m - \sqrt{n})$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. What is $m + n$?

Consider the following operation. Given a positive integer $n$, if $n$ is a multiple of $3$, then you replace $n$ by $\dfrac{n}3$. If $n$ is not a multiple of $3$, then you replace $n$ by $n + 10$. Then continue this process. For example, beginning with $n = 4$, this procedure gives $4 \to 14 \to 24 \to 8 \to 18 \to 6 \to 2 \to 12 \to \cdots$. Suppose you start with $n = 100$. What value results if you perform this operation exactly $100$ times?

The figure below shows a dotted grid $8$ cells wide and $3$ cells tall consisting of $1''\times1''$ squares. Carl places $1$-inch toothpicks along some of the sides of the squares to create a closed loop that does not intersect itself. The numbers in the cells indicate the number of sides of that square that are to be covered by toothpicks, and any number of toothpicks are allowed if no number is written. In how many ways can Carl place the toothpicks? [asy]

One side of an equilateral triangle of height $24$ lies on line $\ell.$ A circle of radius $12$ is tangent to $\ell$ and is externally tangent to the triangle. The area of the region exterior to the triangle and the circle and bounded by the triangle, the circle, and line $\ell$ can be written as $a\sqrt{b} - c\pi,$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are positive integers and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is $a+b+c\,?$

A bee is moving in three-dimensional space. A fair six-sided die with faces labeled $A^+, A^-, B^+, B^-, C^+$, and $C^-$ is rolled. Suppose the bee occupies the point $(a, b, c)$. If the die shows $A^+$, then the bee moves to the point $(a+1, b, c)$ and if the die shows $A^-$, then the bee moves to the point $(a-1, b, c)$. Analogous moves are made with the other four outcomes. Suppose the bee starts at the point $(0, 0, 0)$ and the die is rolled four times. What is the probability that the bee traverses four distinct edges of some unit cube?
