Albert and Kevin are playing a game. Kevin has a $10\%$ chance of winning any given round in the match. If Kevin wins the first game, he wins the match. If not, he requests that the match be extended to a best of $3$. If he wins the best of $3$, he wins the match. If not, then he requests the match be extended to a best of $5$, and so forth. What is the probability that Kevin eventually wins the match? (A best of $2n+ 1$ match consists of a series of rounds. The first person to reach $n + 1$ winning games wins the match)

The diagram shows twenty congruent circles arranged in three rows and enclosed in a rectangle. The circles are tangent to one another and to the sides of the rectangle as shown in the diagram. The ratio of the longer dimension of the rectangle to the shorter dimension can be written as $\frac{1}{2}\left(\sqrt{p}-q\right),$ where $p$ and $q$ are positive integers. Find $p+q.$

You can tile a $2 \times5$ grid of squares using any combination of three types of tiles: single unit squares, two side by side unit squares, and three unit squares in the shape of an L. The diagram below shows the grid, the available tile shapes, and one way to tile the grid. In how many ways can the grid be tiled?

Two distinct points $A$ and $B$ are marked on the left half of the parabola $y = x^2$. Consider any pair of parallel lines which pass through $A$ and $B$ and intersect the right half of the parabola at points $C$ and $D$. Let $K$ be the intersection point of the diagonals $AC$ and $BD$ of the obtained trapezoid $ABCD$. Let $M, N$ be the midpoints of the bases of $ABCD$. Prove that the difference $KM - KN$ depends only on the choice of points $A$ and $B$ but does not depend on the pair of parallel lines described above.
