Triangle $ABC$ is inscribed in circle $\omega$. Points $P$ and $Q$ are on side $\overline{AB}$ with $AP<AQ$. Rays $CP$ and $CQ$ meet $\omega$ again at $S$ and $T$ (other than $C$), respectively. If $AP=4,PQ=3,QB=6,BT=5,$ and $AS=7$, then $ST=\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Let $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ be the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, each of whose edges measures 1 meter. A bug, starting from vertex $A$, observes the following rule: at each vertex it chooses one of the three edges meeting at that vertex, each edge being equally likely to be chosen, and crawls along that edge to the vertex at its opposite end. Let $p = n/729$ be the probability that the bug is at vertex $A$ when it has crawled exactly 7 meters. Find the value of $n$.

With $400$ members voting the House of Representatives defeated a bill. A re-vote, with the same members voting, resulted in passage of the bill by twice the margin$\dagger$ by which it was originally defeated. The number voting for the bill on the re-vote was $\frac{12}{11}$ of the number voting against it originally. How many more members voted for the bill the second time than voted for it the first time? $\textbf{(A)}\ 75 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 60 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 50 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 45 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 20$ $\dagger$ In this context, margin of defeat (passage) is defined as the number of nays minus the number of ayes (nays-ayes).

In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled $0$ through $10$. A frog is sitting on pad $1$. When the frog is on pad $N$, $0<N<10$, it will jump to pad $N-1$ with probability $\frac{N}{10}$ and to pad $N+1$ with probability $1-\frac{N}{10}$. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad $0$ it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad $10$ it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape being eaten by the snake? $ \textbf {(A) } \frac{32}{79} \qquad \textbf {(B) } \frac{161}{384} \qquad \textbf {(C) } \frac{63}{146} \qquad \textbf {(D) } \frac{7}{16} \qquad \textbf {(E) } \frac{1}{2} $

As shown in the figure, line segment $\overline{AD}$ is trisected by points $B$ and $C$ so that $AB=BC=CD=2.$ Three semicircles of radius $1,$ $\overarc{AEB},\overarc{BFC},$ and $\overarc{CGD},$ have their diameters on $\overline{AD},$ and are tangent to line $EG$ at $E,F,$ and $G,$ respectively. A circle of radius $2$ has its center on $F. $ The area of the region inside the circle but outside the three semicircles, shaded in the figure, can be expressed in the form \[\frac{a}{b}\cdot\pi-\sqrt{c}+d,\] where $a,b,c,$ and $d$ are positive integers and $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime. What is $a+b+c+d$?

Torus $\mathcal T$ is the surface produced by revolving a circle with radius $3$ around an axis in the plane a distance $6$ from the center of the circle. When a sphere of radius $11$ rests inside $\mathcal T$, it is internally tangent to $\mathcal T$ along a circle with radius $r_{i}$, and when it rests outside $\mathcal T$, it is externally tangent along a circle with radius $r_{o}$. The difference $r_{i}-r_{o}=\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
