For positive integers $n$ and $k$, let $f(n,k)$ be the remainder when $n$ is divided by $k$, and for $n>1$ let $F(n) = \displaystyle\max_{1 \le k \le \frac{n}{2}} f(n,k)$. Find the remainder when $\displaystyle\sum_{n=20}^{100} F(n)$ is divided by $1000$.

Let $ABCD$ be a parallelogram with $\angle BAD < 90^{\circ}$. A circle tangent to sides $\overline{DA}$, $\overline{AB}$, and $\overline{BC}$ intersects diagonal $\overline{AC}$ at points $P$ and $Q$ with $AP < AQ$, as shown. Suppose that $AP = 3$, $PQ = 9$, and $QC = 16$. Then the area of $ABCD$ can be expressed in the form $m\sqrt n$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n$.

A ferry boat shuttles tourists to an island every hour starting at 10 AM until its last trip, which starts at 3 PM. One day the boat captain notes that on the 10 AM trip there were $ 100$ tourists on the ferry boat, and that on each successive trip, the number of tourists was $ 1$ fewer than on the previous trip. How many tourists did the ferry take to the island that day? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 585\qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 594\qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 672\qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 679\qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 694$

A right circular cone has a base with radius 600 and height $200\sqrt{7}$. A fly starts at a point on the surface of the cone whose distance from the vertex of the cone is 125, and crawls along the surface of the cone to a point on the exact opposite side of the cone whose distance from the vertex is $375\sqrt{2}$. Find the least distance that the fly could have crawled.

A set of $n$ people participate in an online video basketball tournament. Each person may be a member of any number of $5$-player teams, but no two teams may have exactly the same $5$ members. The site statistics show a curious fact: The average, over all subsets of size $9$ of the set of $n$ participants, of the number of complete teams whose members are among those $9$ people is equal to the reciprocal of the average, over all subsets of size $8$ of the set of $n$ participants, of the number of complete teams whose members are among those $8$ people. How many values $n$, $9\leq n\leq 2017$, can be the number of participants? $\textbf{(A) } 477 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 482 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 487 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 557 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 562$

A group of frogs (called an army) is living in a tree. A frog turns green when in the shade and yellow when in the sun. Initially the ratio of green to yellow frogs was 3:1.

Beatrix is going to place six rooks on a $6\times6$ chessboard where both the rows and columns are labelled $1$ to $6$; the rooks are placed so that no two rooks are in the same row or the same column. The [i]value[/i] of a square is the sum of its row number and column number. The [i]score[/i] of an arrangement of rooks is the least value of any occupied square. The average score over all valid configurations is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
