For any positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ denote the sum of the positive integers $k \le n$ such that $k$ and $n$ are relatively prime. Let $S$ be the sum of $\frac{1}{f(m)}$ over all positive integers $m$ that are divisible by at least one of $2$, $3$, or $5$, and whose prime factors are only $2$, $3$, or $5$. Then $S = \frac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$. Find $p+q$.

Let $P_1$ and $P_2$ be regular polygons of 1985 sides and perimeters $x$ and $y$ respectively. Each side of $P_1$ is tangent to a given circle of circumference $c$ and this circle passes through each vertex of $P_2$. Prove $x + y \ge 2c$. (You may assume that $\tan \theta \ge \theta$ for $0 \le \theta < \frac{\pi}{2}$.)

A set of $n^2$ counters are labeled with $1,2,\ldots, n$, each label appearing $n$ times. Can one arrange the counters on a line in such a way that for all $x \in \{1,2,\ldots, n\}$, between any two successive counters with the label $x$ there are exactly $x$ counters (with labels different from $x$)?
