Bored on their trip home, Joshua and Alexis decide to keep a tally of license plates they see in the other lanes: Joshua watches cars going the other way, and Alexis watches cars in the next lane.
After a few minutes, Wendy counts up the tallies and declares, "Joshua has counted $2008$ license plates, and there are $17$ license plate designs he's seen exactly $17$ times, but of Alexis's $2009$ license plates, there's none she's seen exactly $18$ times. Clearly, $17$ is the specialist number."
Michael, suspicious, pulls out the $\textit{Almanac of American License Plates}$ and notes, "According to confirmed demographic statistics, you'd only expect those numbers to be $5.4$ and $4.9$, respectively. But the $17^\text{th}$ state is weird: Joshua saw exactly $17$ of its license plates, which isn't what we'd expect."
Alexis asks, "How many Ohioan license plates did we expect to see?" and reaches for the $\textit{Almanac}$ to find out, but Michael snatches it away and says, "I'm not telling."
Alexis, disappointed, says, "I suppose that $17$ is my best guess," feeling that the answer must be pretty close to $17$.
Wendy smiles. "You can do better than that, actually. Given what Michael said and that we saw $17$ Ohioan license plates, we'd actually expect there to have been $\tfrac ab$ less than $17$."
Help Alexis. If $\tfrac ab$ is in lowest terms, find the product $ab$.
2025 USA IMO Team Selection Test, 5
A pond has $2025$ lily pads arranged in a circle. Two frogs, Alice and Bob, begin on different lily pads. A frog jump is a jump which travels $2$, $3$, or $5$ positions clockwise. Alice and Bob each make a series of frog jumps, and each frog ends on the same lily pad that it started from. Given that each lily pad is the destination of exactly one jump, prove that each frog completes exactly two laps around the pond (i.e. travels $4050$ positions in total).

$101$ blue and $101$ red points are selected on the plane, and no three lie on one straight line. The sum of the pairwise distances between the red points is $1$ (that is, the sum of the lengths of the segments with ends at red points), the sum of the pairwise distances between the blue ones is also $1$, and the sum of the lengths of the segments with the ends of different colors is $400$. Prove that you can draw a straight line separating everything red dots from all blue ones.

Let $I = (0, 1]$ be the unit interval of the real line. For a given number $a \in (0, 1)$ we define a map $T : I \to I$ by the formula
if
\[ T (x, y) = \begin{cases} x + (1 - a),&\mbox{ if } 0< x \leq a,\\ \text{ } \\ x - a, & \mbox{ if } a < x \leq 1.\end{cases} \]
Show that for every interval $J \subset I$ there exists an integer $n > 0$ such that $T^n(J) \cap J \neq \emptyset.$

Consider a convex polyhedron without parallel edges and without an edge parallel to any face other than the two faces adjacent to it. Call a pair of points of the polyhedron [i]antipodal[/i] if there exist two parallel planes passing through these points and such that the polyhedron is contained between these planes. Let $A$ be the number of antipodal pairs of vertices, and let $B$ be the number of antipodal pairs of midpoint edges. Determine the difference $A-B$ in terms of the numbers of vertices, edges, and faces.
