For positive integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ with $a < b < c$, consider collections of postage stamps in denominations $a$, $b$, and $c$ cents that contain at least one stamp of each denomination. If there exists such a collection that contains sub-collections worth every whole number of cents up to $1000$ cents, let $f(a, b, c)$ be the minimum number of stamps in such a collection. Find the sum of the three least values of $c$ such that $f(a, b, c) = 97$ for some choice of $a$ and $b$.

Bela and Jenn play the following game on the closed interval $[0, n]$ of the real number line, where $n$ is a fixed integer greater than $4$. They take turns playing, with Bela going first. At his first turn, Bela chooses any real number in the interval $[0, n]$. Thereafter, the player whose turn it is chooses a real number that is more than one unit away from all numbers previously chosen by either player. A player unable to choose such a number loses. Using optimal strategy, which player will win the game?
$\textbf{(A) } \text{Bela will always win.}$
$\textbf{(B) } \text{Jenn will always win.} $

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 $m + n$.
