Luna and Sam have access to a windowsill with three plants. On the morning of January $1$, $2011$, the plants were sitting in the order of cactus, dieffenbachia, and orchid, from left to right. Every afternoon, when Luna waters the plants, she swaps the two plants sitting on the left and in the center. Every evening, when Sam waters the plants, he swaps the two plants sitting on the right and in the center.

Anne has thought of a finite set $A \subseteq \mathbb{R}^2 $ . Bob does not know how many elements $A$ has, but his goal is to completely determine $A$. To achieve this, Bob can chooseany point $b \in \mathbb{R}^2 $ and ask Anne how far it is from$ A$ . Anne replies with the distance, defined as $min \{d(a, b) | a \in A\}$. (Here $d(a, b)$ denotes the distance between points $a, b \in \mathbb{R}$ .) Bob can ask as many questions of this type as he wants, until he can determine A with certainty. a) Can Bob achieve his goal with finitely many questions? b) What if Anne tells Bob in advance that all points of A have both coordinates in the interval$\ [0, 1]\ $? Note: $\mathbb{R}^2$ is the set of points in the plane.

Darryl has a six-sided die with faces $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$. He knows the die is weighted so that one face comes up with probability $1/2$ and the other five faces have equal probability of coming up. He unfortunately does not know which side is weighted, but he knows each face is equally likely to be the weighted one. He rolls the die $5$ times and gets a $1, 2, 3, 4$ and $5$ in some unspecified order. Compute the probability that his next roll is a $6$.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB=3$ and $AC=4$. It is given that there does not exist a point $D$, different from $A$ and not lying on line $BC$, such that the Euler line of $ABC$ coincides with the Euler line of $DBC$. The square of the product of all possible lengths of $BC$ can be expressed in the form $m+n\sqrt p$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $100m+10n+p$. Note: For this problem, consider every line passing through the center of an equilateral triangle to be an Euler line of the equilateral triangle. Hence, if $D$ is chosen such that $DBC$ is an equilateral triangle and the Euler line of $ABC$ passes through the center of $DBC$, then consider the Euler line of $ABC$ to coincide with "the" Euler line of $DBC$.
