Three men, Alpha, Beta, and Gamma, working together, do a job in $6$ hours less time than Alpha alone, in $1$ hour less time than Beta alone, and in one-half the time needed by Gamma when working alone.

For a real number $ a$, let $ \lfloor a \rfloor$ denominate the greatest integer less than or equal to $ a$. Let $ \mathcal{R}$ denote the region in the coordinate plane consisting of points $ (x,y)$ such that \[\lfloor x \rfloor ^2 \plus{} \lfloor y \rfloor ^2 \equal{} 25.\] The region $ \mathcal{R}$ is completely contained in a disk of radius $ r$ (a disk is the union of a circle and its interior). The minimum value of $ r$ can be written as $ \tfrac {\sqrt {m}}{n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are integers and $ m$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.

Anna and Bob are playing a game on a rectangular board with $i$ rows and $j$ columns. Anna and Bob alternate turns with Anna going first. On each turn, a player places a penny in a square and then all squares in the same row and column of that square are marked. A player cannot place a penny in any marked square. When a player cannot place a penny in any square, they lose and the other player wins. How many ordered pairs of integers $(i, j)$ with $1 \le i \le 2020, 1 \le j \le 2020$ are there such that Anna wins?

Let $R$, $S$, and $T$ be squares that have vertices at lattice points (i.e., points whose coordinates are both integers) in the coordinate plane, together with their interiors. The bottom edge of each square is on the x-axis. The left edge of $R$ and the right edge of $S$ are on the $y$-axis, and $R$ contains $\frac{9}{4}$ as many lattice points as does $S$. The top two vertices of $T$ are in $R \cup S$, and $T$ contains $\frac{1}{4}$ of the lattice points contained in $R \cup S$. See the figure (not drawn to scale).

The sum of the following seven numbers is exactly 19: \[a_1=2.56,\qquad a_2=2.61,\qquad a_3=2.65,\qquad a_4=2.71,\] \[a_5=2.79,\qquad a_6=2.82,\qquad a_7=2.86.\] It is desired to replace each $a_i$ by an integer approximation $A_i$, $1 \le i \le 7$, so that the sum of the $A_i$'s is also 19 and so that $M$, the maximum of the "errors" $|A_i - a_i|$, is as small as possible. For this minimum $M$, what is $100M$?
