In a drawer Sandy has 5 pairs of socks, each pair a different color. On Monday Sandy selects two individual socks at random from the 10 socks in the drawer. On Tuesday Sandy selects 2 of the remaining 8 socks at random and on Wednesday two of the reaining 6 socks at random. The probability that Wednesday is the first day Sandy selects matching socks is $\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Beter Pai wants to tell you his fastest $40$-line clear time in Tetris, but since he does not want Qep to realize she is better at Tetris than he is, he does not tell you the time directly. Instead, he gives you the following requirements, given that the correct time is t seconds: $\bullet$ $t < 100$. $\bullet$ $t$ is prime. $\bullet$ $t -1$ has 5 proper factors. $\bullet$ all prime factors of $t +1$ are single digits. $\bullet$ $t -2$ is a multiple of $3$. $\bullet$ $t +2$ has $2$ factors. Find t.

In Mathcity, there are infinitely many buses and infinitely many stations. The stations are indexed by the powers of $2: 1, 2, 4, 8, 16, ...$ Each bus goes by finitely many stations, and the bus number is the sum of all the stations it goes by. For simplifications, the mayor of Mathcity wishes that the bus numbers form an arithmetic progression with common difference $r$ and whose first term is the favourite number of the mayor. For which positive integers $r$ is it always possible that, no matter the favourite number of the mayor, given any $m$ stations, there is a bus going by all of them?

Tori's mathematics test had 75 problems: 10 arithmetic, 30 algebra, and 35 geometry problems. Although she answered $70\%$ of the arithmetic, $40\%$ of the algebra, and $60\%$ of the geometry problems correctly, she did not pass the test because she got less than $60\%$ of the problems right. How many more problems would she have needed to answer correctly to earn a $60\%$ passing grade? $ \text{(A)}\ 1\qquad\text{(B)}\ 5\qquad\text{(C)}\ 7\qquad\text{(D)}\ 9\qquad\text{(E)}\ 11 $

For every sequence of integers \[ A = a_0,a_1,a_2,\dots, a_n \] satisfying $0 \le a_i \le i$, for $i=0,\dots,n$, define another sequence \[ t(A)= t(a_0), t(a_1), t(a_2), \dots, t(a_n) \] by setting $t(a_i)$ to be the number of terms in the sequence $A$ that precede the term $a_i$ and are different from $a_i$. Show that, starting from any sequence $A$ as above, fewer than $n$ applications of the transformation $t$ lead to a sequence $B$ such that $t(B) = B$.
