Alex is training to make $\text{MOP}$. Currently he will score a $0$ on $\text{the AMC,}\text{ the AIME,}\text{and the USAMO}$. He can expend $3$ units of effort to gain $6$ points on the $\text{AMC}$, $7$ units of effort to gain $10$ points on the $\text{AIME}$, and $10$ units of effort to gain $1$ point on the $\text{USAMO}$. He will need to get at least $200$ points on $\text{the AMC}$ and $\text{AIME}$ combined and get at least $21$ points on $\text{the USAMO}$ to make $\text{MOP}$. What is the minimum amount of effort he can expend to make $\text{MOP}$?

Teams $T_1$, $T_2$, $T_3$, and $T_4$ are in the playoffs. In the semifinal matches, $T_1$ plays $T_4$ and $T_2$ plays $T_3$. The winners of those two matches will play each other in the final match to determine the champion. When $T_i$ plays $T_j$, the probability that $T_i$ wins is $\frac{i}{i+j}$, and the outcomes of all the matches are independent. The probability that $T_4$ will be the champion is $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

Ant Amelia starts on the number line at $0$ and crawls in the following manner. For $n=1,2,3,$ Amelia chooses a time duration $t_n$ and an increment $x_n$ independently and uniformly at random from the interval $(0,1).$ During the $n$th step of the process, Amelia moves $x_n$ units in the positive direction, using up $t_n$ minutes. If the total elapsed time has exceeded $1$ minute during the $n$th step, she stops at the end of that step; otherwise, she continues with the next step, taking at most $3$ steps in all. What is the probability that Amelia’s position when she stops will be greater than $1$? $\textbf{(A) }\frac{1}{3} \qquad \textbf{(B) }\frac{1}{2} \qquad \textbf{(C) }\frac{2}{3} \qquad \textbf{(D) }\frac{3}{4} \qquad \textbf{(E) }\frac{5}{6}$

Let $ ABCD$ be an isosceles trapezoid with $ \overline{AD}\parallel{}\overline{BC}$ whose angle at the longer base $ \overline{AD}$ is $ \dfrac{\pi}{3}$. The diagonals have length $ 10\sqrt {21}$, and point $ E$ is at distances $ 10\sqrt {7}$ and $ 30\sqrt {7}$ from vertices $ A$ and $ D$, respectively. Let $ F$ be the foot of the altitude from $ C$ to $ \overline{AD}$. The distance $ EF$ 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 \plus{} n$.
