A hotel packed breakfast for each of three guests. Each breakfast should have consisted of three types of rolls, one each of nut, cheese, and fruit rolls. The preparer wrapped each of the nine rolls and once wrapped, the rolls were indistinguishable from one another. She then randomly put three rolls in a bag for each of the guests. Given that the probability each guest got one roll of each type is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers, find $m+n$.

We have a parallelepiped $ ABCDA'B'C'D' $ in which the top ($ A'B'C'D' $) and the ground ($ ABCD $) are connected by four vertical edges, and $ \angle DAB=30^{\circ} . $ Through $ AB, $ a plane inersects the parallelepiped at an angle of $ 30 $ with respect to the ground, delimiting two interior sections. Find the area of these interior sections in function of the length of $ AA'. $

Decide if it is possible to generate an infinite sequence of positive integers $a_n$ such that in the sequence there are no three terms that are in arithmetic progression and that for all $n$ $\left |a_n-n^2\right | <\frac{n}{2}$. Clarification: Three numbers $a$, $b$, $c$ are in arithmetic progression if and only if $2b=a+c$.

The circle with the center of $ O $ touches the sides of the angle $ A $ at the points of $ K $ and $ M $. The tangent to the circle intersects the segments $ AK $ and $ AM $ at points $ B $ and $ C $ respectively, and the line $ KM $ intersects the segments $ OB $ and $ OC $ at the points $ D $ and $ E $. Prove that the area of the triangle $ ODE $ is equal to a quarter of the area of a triangle $ BOC $ if and only if the angle $ A $ is $ 60^\circ $.

Let $ABC$ be an acute triangle, and let $X$ be a variable interior point on the minor arc $BC$ of its circumcircle. Let $P$ and $Q$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $X$ to lines $CA$ and $CB$, respectively. Let $R$ be the intersection of line $PQ$ and the perpendicular from $B$ to $AC$.
