A set of three elements is called arithmetic if one of its elements is the arithmetic mean of the other two. Likewise, a set of three elements is called harmonic if one of its elements is the harmonic mean of the other two. How many three-element subsets of the set of integers $\left\{z\in\mathbb{Z}\mid -2011<z<2011\right\}$ are arithmetic and harmonic? (Remark: The arithmetic mean $A(a,b)$ and the harmonic mean $H(a,b)$ are defined as \[A(a,b)=\frac{a+b}{2}\quad\mbox{and}\quad H(a,b)=\frac{2ab}{a+b}=\frac{2}{\frac{1}{a}+\frac{1}{b}}\mbox{,}\] respectively, where $H(a,b)$ is not defined for some $a$, $b$.)

$AB$ and $AC$ are tangents to a circle $\omega$ with center $O$ at $B,C$ respectively. Point $P$ is a variable point on minor arc $BC$. The tangent at $P$ to $\omega$ meets $AB,AC$ at $D,E$ respectively. $AO$ meets $BP,CP$ at $U,V$ respectively. The line through $P$ perpendicular to $AB$ intersects $DV$ at $M$, and the line through $P$ perpendicular to $AC$ intersects $EU$ at $N$. Prove that as $P$ varies, $MN$ passes through a fixed point.

Let $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be a sequence of integers. Define $a_n^{(0)} = a_n$ for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$. For all $M \geq 0$, we define $(a_n^{(M + 1)})_{n \in \mathbb{N}}:\, a_n^{(M + 1)} = a_{n + 1}^{(M)} - a_n^{(M)}, \forall n \in \mathbb{N}$. We say that $(a_n)_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ is $\textrm{(M + 1)-self-referencing}$ if there exists $k_1$ and $k_2$ fixed positive integers such that $a_{n + k_1} = a_{n + k_2}^{(M + 1)}, \forall n \in \mathbb{N}$. (a) Does there exist a sequence of integers such that the smallest $M$ such that it is $\textrm{M-self-referencing}$ is $M = 2022$? (a) Does there exist a stricly positive sequence of integers such that the smallest $M$ such that it is $\textrm{M-self-referencing}$ is $M = 2022$?

One afternoon Elizabeth noticed that twice as many cars on the expressway carried only a driver as compared to the number of cars that carried a driver and one passenger. She also noted that twice as many cars carried a driver and one passenger as those that carried a driver and two passengers. Only 10% of the cars carried a driver and three passengers, and no car carried more than four people. Any car containing at least three people was allowed to use the fast lane. Elizabeth calculated that $\frac{m}{n}$ of the people in cars on the expressway were allowed to ride in the fast lane, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
