Rachel and Robert run on a circular track. Rachel runs counterclockwise and completes a lap every $ 90$ seconds, and Robert runs clockwise and completes a lap every $ 80$ seconds. Both start from the start line at the same time. At some random time between $ 10$ minutes and $ 11$ minutes after they begin to run, a photographer standing inside the track takes a picture that shows one-fourth of the track, centered on the starting line. What is the probability that both Rachel and Robert are in the picture?

A chess king is said to ''attack'' all squares one step away from it (basically any square right next to it in any direction), horizontally, vertically, or diagonally. For instance, a king on the center square of a 3 x 3 grid attacks all 8 other squares, as shown below. Suppose a white king and a black king are placed on different squares of 3 x 3 grid so that they do not attack each other. In how many ways can this be done?

A 100 foot long moving walkway moves at a constant rate of 6 feet per second. Al steps onto the start of the walkway and stands. Bob steps onto the start of the walkway two seconds later and strolls forward along the walkway at a constant rate of 4 feet per second. Two seconds after that, Cy reaches the start of the walkway and walks briskly forward beside the walkway at a constant rate of 8 feet per second. At a certain time, one of these three persons is exactly halfway between the other two. At that time, find the distance in feet between the start of the walkway and the middle person.

Let $\triangle PQR$ be a triangle with $\angle P = 75^\circ$ and $\angle Q = 60^\circ$. A regular hexagon $ABCDEF$ with side length 1 is drawn inside $\triangle PQR$ so that side $\overline{AB}$ lies on $\overline{PQ}$, side $\overline{CD}$ lies on $\overline{QR}$, and one of the remaining vertices lies on $\overline{RP}$. There are positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$, and $d$ such that the area of $\triangle PQR$ can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{a+b\sqrt c}d$, where $a$ and $d$ are relatively prime and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c+d$.

A two-pan balance is innacurate since its balance arms are of different lengths and its pans are of different weights. Three objects of different weights $A$, $B$, and $C$ are each weighed separately. When placed on the left-hand pan, they are balanced by weights $A_1$, $B_1$, and $C_1$, respectively. When $A$ and $B$ are placed on the right-hand pan, they are balanced by $A_2$ and $B_2$, respectively. Determine the true weight of $C$ in terms of $A_1, B_1, C_1, A_2$, and $B_2$.
