A school has two classes $A$ and $B$ which have $m$ and $n$ students each. The students of the two classes sit in a circle. Each student is then given a number of candies equal to the number of consecutive students sitting to the left of him that are from his same class. After distributing the candies, the teacher decides to group the students such that in each group, all the students receive the same amount of candies, and any two students from two different groups should receive a different amount of candies.
a) What is the maximum number of students that a group can have?
b) Excluding the group where every student receives no candies, what is the maximum number of students that a group can have?

A man can commute either by train or by bus. If he goes to work on the train in the morning, he comes home on the bus in the afternoon; and if he comes home in the afternoon on the train, he took the bus in the morning.

Find $ x$.

Bob has invented the Very Normal Coin (VNC). When the VNC is flipped, it shows heads $\textstyle\frac{1}{2}$ of the time and tails $\textstyle\frac{1}{2}$ of the time - unless it has yielded the same result five times in a row, in which case it is guaranteed to yield the opposite result. For example, if Bob flips five heads in a row, then the next flip is guaranteed to be tails.
Bob flips the VNC an infinite number of times. On the $n$th flip, Bob bets $2^{-n}$ dollars that the VNC will show heads (so if the second flip shows heads, Bob wins $\$0.25$, and if the third flip shows tails, Bob loses $\$0.125$).
Assume that dollars are infinitely divisible. Given that the first flip is heads, the expected number of dollars Bob is expected to win can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b$. Compute $100a + b$.

A town has a road network that consists entirely of one-way streets that are used for bus routes. Along these routes, bus stops have been set up. If the one-way signs permit travel from bus stop $X$ to bus stop $Y \neq X$, then we shall say [i]$Y$ can be reached from $X$[/i]. We shall use the phrase [i]$Y$ comes after $X$[/i] when we wish to express that every bus stop from which the bus stop $X$ can be reached is a bus stop from which the bus stop $Y$ can be reached, and every bus stop that can be reached from $Y$ can also be reached from $X$. A visitor to this town discovers that if $X$ and $Y$ are any two different bus stops, then the two sentences [i]“$Y$ can be reached from $X$”[/i] and [i]“$Y$ comes after $X$”[/i] have exactly the same meaning in this town. Let $A$ and $B$ be two bus stops. Show that of the following two statements, exactly one is true:
[b] (i)[/b] $B$ can be reached from $A;$
[b] (ii) [/b] $A$ can be reached from $B.$
