Let triangle $ \vartriangle ABC$ have $AB = 17$, $BC = 14$, $CA = 12$. Let $M_A$, $M_B$, $M_C$ be midpoints of $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{AC}$, and $\overline{AB}$ respectively. Let the angle bisectors of $ A$, $ B$, and $C$ intersect $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{AC}$, and $\overline{AB}$ at $P$, $Q$, and $R$, respectively. Reflect $M_A$ about $\overline{AP}$, $M_B$ about $\overline{BQ}$, and $M_C$ about $\overline{CR}$ to obtain $M'_A$, $M'_B$, $M'_C$, respectively. The lines $AM'_A$, $BM'_B$, and $CM'_C$ will then intersect $\overline{BC}$, $\overline{AC}$, and $\overline{AB}$ at $D$, $E$, and $F$, respectively. Given that $\overline{AD}$, $\overline{BE}$, and $\overline{CF}$ concur at a point $K$ inside the triangle, in simplest form, the ratio $[KAB] : [KBC] : [KCA]$ can be written in the form $p : q : r$, where $p$, $q$ and $ r$ are relatively prime positive integers and $[XYZ]$ denotes the area of $\vartriangle XYZ$. Compute $p + q + r$.

Define the sequence of positive integers $\{a_n\}$ as follows. Let $a_1=1$, $a_2=3$, and for each $n>2$, let $a_n$ be the result of expressing $a_{n-1}$ in base $n-1$, then reading the resulting numeral in base $n$, then adding $2$ (in base $n$). For example, $a_2=3_{10}=11_2$, so $a_3=11_3+2_3=6_{10}$. Express $a_{2013}$ in base $10$.

$\bullet$ Roma said: "The altitude drawn from the vertex $B$ on the side $AC$ is $6$ cm."
$\bullet$ Seva said: "The area of the triangle $ABC$ is $25$ cm$^2$."

Let $n > 1$ be an integer. There are $n$ boxes in a row, and there are $n + 1$ identical stones. A [i]distribution [/i] is a way to distribute the stones over the boxes, in which every stone is in exactly one of the boxes. We say that two of such distributions are a [i]stone’s throw away[/i] from each other if we can obtain one distribution from the other by moving exactly one stone from one box to another. The [i]cosiness [/i] of a distribution $a$ is defined as the number of distributions that are a stone’s throw away from $a$. Determine the average cosiness of all possible distributions.

The sums of the numbers at the ends of the line segments $\overline{AB}$,$\overline{BC}$,$\overline{CD}$,$\overline{DE}$, and $\overline{EA}$ form an arithmetic sequence, although not necessarily in this order. What is the middle term of the arithmetic sequence?
