Three numbers, $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$, are drawn randomly and without replacement from the set $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, 1000\}$. Three other numbers, $b_1$, $b_2$, $b_3$, are then drawn randomly and without replacement from the remaining set of 997 numbers. Let $p$ be the probability that, after a suitable rotation, a brick of dimensions $a_1 \times a_2 \times a_3$ can be enclosed in a box of dimensions $b_1 \times b_2 \times b_3$, with the sides of the brick parallel to the sides of the box. If $p$ is written as a fraction in lowest terms, what is the sum of the numerator and denominator?

Triangle $ABC$ has circumcircle $\omega$. The angle bisectors of $\angle A$ and $\angle B$ intersect $\omega$ at points $D$ and $E$ respectively. $DE$ intersects $BC$ and $AC$ at $X$ and $Y$ respectively. Given $DX = 7,$ $XY = 8$ and $YE = 9,$ the area of $\triangle ABC$ can be written as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ where $a, b, c$ are positive integers, $\gcd(a,c) = 1,$ and $b$ is square free. Find $a+b+c.$

A beetle crawls along the edges of an $n$-lateral pyramid, starting and ending at the midpoint $A$ of a base edge and passing through each point at most once. How many ways are there for the beetle to do this (two ways are said to be equal if they go through the same vertices)? Show that the sum of the numbers of passed vertices (over all these ways) equals $1^2 +2^2 +\ldots +n^2. $
