Let $ABCD$ and $BCFG$ be two faces of a cube with $AB=12.$ A beam of light emanates from vertex $A$ and reflects off face $BCFG$ at point $P,$ which is 7 units from $\overline{BG}$ and 5 units from $\overline{BC}.$ The beam continues to be reflected off the faces of the cube. The length of the light path from the time it leaves point $A$ until it next reaches a vertex of the cube is given by $m\sqrt{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n.$

Eight circles of radius $34$ can be placed tangent to side $\overline{BC}$ of $\triangle ABC$ such that the first circle is tangent to $\overline{AB}$, subsequent circles are externally tangent to each other, and the last is tangent to $\overline{AC}$. Similarly, $2024$ circles of radius $1$ can also be placed along $\overline{BC}$ in this manner. The inradius of $\triangle ABC$ is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Equilateral triangle $\triangle ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$ with radius $18.$ Circle $\omega_A$ is tangent to sides $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ and is internally tangent to $\omega$. Circles $\omega_B$ and $\omega_C$ are defined analogously. Circles $\omega_A$, $\omega_B$, and $\omega_C$ meet in six points$-$two points for each pair of circles. The three intersection points closest to the vertices of $\triangle ABC$ are the vertices of a large equilateral triangle in the interior of $\triangle ABC$, and the other three intersection points are the vertices of a smaller equilateral triangle in the interior of $\triangle ABC$. The side length of the smaller equilateral triangle can be written as $\sqrt{a}-\sqrt{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are positive integers. Find $a+b$.

The AIME Triathlon consists of a half-mile swim, a $30$-mile bicycle, and an eight-mile run. Tom swims, bicycles, and runs at constant rates. He runs five times as fast as he swims, and he bicycles twice as fast as he runs. Tom completes the AIME Triathlon in four and a quarter hours. How many minutes does he spend bicycling?

Diameter $AB$ of a circle has length a 2-digit integer (base ten). Reversing the digits gives the length of the perpendicular chord $CD$. The distance from their intersection point $H$ to the center $O$ is a positive rational number. Determine the length of $AB$.

Initially Alex, Betty, and Charlie had a total of $444$ peanuts. Charlie had the most peanuts, and Alex had the least. The three numbers of peanuts that each person had form a geometric progression. Alex eats 5 of his peanuts, Betty eats 9 of her peanuts, and Charlie eats 25 of his peanuts. Now the three numbers of peanuts that each person has form an arithmetic progression. Find the number of peanuts Alex had initially.

For each integer $n\ge 3$, let $f(n)$ be the number of 3-element subsets of the vertices of a regular $n$-gon that are the vertices of an isosceles triangle (including equilateral triangles). Find the sum of all values of $n$ such that $f(n+1)=f(n)+78$.

A unit circle is centered at $(0, 0)$ on the $(x, y)$ plane. A regular hexagon passing through $(1, 0)$ is inscribed in the circle. Two points are randomly selected from the interior of the circle and horizontal lines are drawn through them, dividing the hexagon into at most three pieces. The probability that each piece contains exactly two of the hexagon's original vertices can be written as
\[ \frac{2\left(\frac{m\pi}{n}+\frac{\sqrt{p}}{q}\right)^2}{\pi^2} \]
for positive integers $m$, $n$, $p$, and $q$ such that $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime and $p$ is squarefree. Find $m+n+p+q$.

Suppose $\triangle ABC$ has angles $\angle BAC = 84^\circ, \angle ABC=60^\circ,$ and $\angle ACB = 36^\circ.$ Let $D, E,$ and $F$ be the midpoints of sides $\overline{BC}, \overline{AC},$ and $\overline{AB},$ respectively. The circumcircle of $\triangle DEF$ intersects $\overline{BD}, \overline{AE},$ and $\overline{AF}$ at points $G, H,$ and $J,$ respectively. The points $G, D, E, H, J,$ and $F$ divide the circumcircle of $\triangle DEF$ into six minor arcs, as shown. Find $\overarc{DE}+2\cdot \overarc{HJ} + 3\cdot \overarc{FG},$ where the arcs are measured in degrees.

Kathy has $5$ red cards and $5$ green cards. She shuffles the $10$ cards and lays out $5$ of the cards in a row in a random order. She will be happy if and only if all the red cards laid out are adjacent and all the green cards laid out are adjacent. For example, card orders RRGGG, GGGGR, or RRRRR will make Kathy happy, but RRRGR will not. The probability that Kathy will be happy is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
