In a triangle $ABC$, let $I$ denote its incenter. Points $D, E, F$ are chosen on the segments $BC, CA, AB$, respectively, such that $BD + BF = AC$ and $CD + CE = AB$. The circumcircles of triangles $AEF, BFD, CDE$ intersect lines $AI, BI, CI$, respectively, at points $K, L, M$ (different from $A, B, C$), respectively. Prove that $K, L, M, I$ are concyclic.

De fine the [i]quasi-primes[/i] as follows. $\bullet$ The first quasi-prime is $q_1 = 2$ $\bullet$ For $n \ge 2$, the $n^{th}$ quasi-prime $q_n$ is the smallest integer greater than $q_{n_1}$ and not of the form $q_iq_j$ for some $1 \le i \le j \le n - 1$. Determine, with proof, whether or not $1000$ is a quasi-prime.

Grogg takes an a × b × c rectangular block (where a, b, c are positive integers), paints the outside of it purple, and cuts it into abc small 1 × 1 × 1 cubes. He then places all the small cubes into a bag, and Winnie reaches in and randomly picks one of the small cubes. If the probability that Winnie picks a totally unpainted cube is 20%, determine all possible values of the number of cubes in the bag.

Ellina has twelve blocks, two each of red $\left({\bf R}\right),$ blue $\left({\bf B}\right),$ yellow $\left({\bf Y}\right),$ green $\left({\bf G}\right),$ orange $\left({\bf O}\right),$ and purple $\left({\bf P}\right).$ Call an arrangement of blocks [i]even[/i] if there is an even number of blocks between each pair of blocks of the same color. For example, the arrangement $$ {\text {\bf R B B Y G G Y R O P P O}}$$is even. Ellina arranges her blocks in a row in random order. The probability that her arrangement is even is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.
