Let $ \overline{MN}$ be a diameter of a circle with diameter $ 1$. Let $ A$ and $ B$ be points on one of the semicircular arcs determined by $ \overline{MN}$ such that $ A$ is the midpoint of the semicircle and $ MB\equal{}\frac35$. Point $ C$ lies on the other semicircular arc. Let $ d$ be the length of the line segment whose endpoints are the intersections of diameter $ \overline{MN}$ with the chords $ \overline{AC}$ and $ \overline{BC}$. The largest possible value of $ d$ can be written in the form $ r\minus{}s\sqrt{t}$, where $ r$, $ s$, and $ t$ are positive integers and $ t$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ r\plus{}s\plus{}t$.

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.
