2022 BMT, 3

Suppose we have four real numbers $a,b,c,d$ such that $a$ is nonzero, $a,b,c$ form a geometric sequence, in that order, and $b,c,d$ form an arithmetic sequence, in that order. Compute the smallest possible value of $\frac{d}{a}.$ (A geometric sequence is one where every succeeding term can be written as the previous term multiplied by a constant, and an arithmetic sequence is one where every succeeeding term can be written as the previous term added to a constant.)

A $3\times3$ square is partitioned into $9$ unit squares. Each unit square is painted either white or black with each color being equally likely, chosen independently and at random. The square is the rotated $90^\circ$ clockwise about its center, and every white square in a position formerly occupied by a black square is painted black. The colors of all other squares are left unchanged. What is the probability that the grid is now entirely black? $ \textbf{(A)}\ \dfrac{49}{512} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \dfrac{7}{64} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \dfrac{121}{1024} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \dfrac{81}{512} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \dfrac{9}{32} $

Juhan wants to order by weight five balls of pairwise different weight, using only a balance scale. First, he labels the balls with numbers 1 to 5 and creates a list of weighings, such that each element in the list is a pair of two balls. Then, for every pair in the list, he weighs the two balls against each other. Can Juhan sort the balls by weight, using a list with less than 10 pairs?
