Triangle $ABC$ has $AB=21$, $AC=22$, and $BC=20$. Points $D$ and $E$ are located on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$, respectively, such that $\overline{DE}$ is parallel to $\overline{BC}$ and contains the center of the inscribed circle of triangle $ABC$. Then $DE=m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

A research facility has $60$ rooms, numbered $1, 2, \dots 60$, arranged in a circle. The entrance is in room $1$ and the exit is in room $60$, and there are no other ways in and out of the facility. Each room, except for room $60$, has a teleporter equipped with an integer instruction $1 \leq i < 60$ such that it teleports a passenger exactly $i$ rooms clockwise. On Monday, a researcher generates a random permutation of $1, 2, \dots, 60$ such that $1$ is the first integer in the permutation and $60$ is the last. Then, she configures the teleporters in the facility such that the rooms will be visited in the order of the permutation. On Tuesday, however, a cyber criminal hacks into a randomly chosen teleporter, and he reconfigures its instruction by choosing a random integer $1 \leq j' < 60$ such that the hacked teleporter now teleports a passenger exactly $j'$ rooms clockwise (note that it is possible, albeit unlikely, that the hacked teleporter's instruction remains unchanged from Monday). This is a problem, since it is possible for the researcher, if she were to enter the facility, to be trapped in an endless \say{cycle} of rooms. The probability that the researcher will be unable to exit the facility after entering in room $1$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

The sum of the following seven numbers is exactly 19: \[a_1=2.56,\qquad a_2=2.61,\qquad a_3=2.65,\qquad a_4=2.71,\] \[a_5=2.79,\qquad a_6=2.82,\qquad a_7=2.86.\] It is desired to replace each $a_i$ by an integer approximation $A_i$, $1 \le i \le 7$, so that the sum of the $A_i$'s is also 19 and so that $M$, the maximum of the "errors" $|A_i - a_i|$, is as small as possible. For this minimum $M$, what is $100M$?

A bored student walks down a hall that contains a row of closed lockers, numbered 1 to 1024. He opens the locker numbered 1, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. When he reaches the end of the hall, the student turns around and starts back. He opens the first closed locker he encounters, and then alternates between skipping and opening each closed locker thereafter. The student continues wandering back and forth in this manner until every locker is open. What is the number of the last locker he opens?

2014 Saudi Arabia IMO TST, 2

In a tournament each player played exactly one game against each of the other players. In each game the winner was awarded $1$ point, the loser got $0$ points, and each of the two players earned $\tfrac{1}{2}$ point if the game was a tie. After the completion of the tournament, it was found that exactly half of the points earned by each player were earned in games against the ten players with the least number of points. (In particular, each of the ten lowest scoring players earned half of his points against the other nine of the ten). What was the total number of players in the tournament?

A special deck of cards contains $49$ cards, each labeled with a number from $1$ to $7$ and colored with one of seven colors. Each number-color combination appears on exactly one card. Sharon will select a set of eight cards from the deck at random. Given that she gets at least one card of each color and at least one card with each number, the probability that Sharon can discard one of her cards and [i]still[/i] have at least one card of each color and at least one card with each number is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

Thanos establishes $5$ settlements on a remote planet, randomly choosing one of them to stay in, and then he randomly builds a system of roads between these settlements such that each settlement has exactly one outgoing (unidirectional) road to another settlement. Afterwards, the Avengers randomly choose one of the $5$ settlements to teleport to. Then, they (the Avengers) must use the system of roads to travel from one settlement to another. The probability that the Avengers can find Thanos can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Find $m+n$.
