Pieck the Frog hops on Pascal's Triangle, where she starts at the number $1$ at the top. In a hop, Pieck can hop to one of the two numbers directly below the number she is currently on with equal probability. Given that the expected value of the number she is on after $7$ hops is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Steven Yu[/i]

On a blackboard, left to right, are written the following numbers: \[N, N-m, N-2m,\dots, 2m+1,m+1, 1.\] On each move, we erase the most left number, written on the board, and all its divisors (if any). This procces continues till all numbers are deleted. Which numbers will be deleted on the last move.

An alien from the planet OMO Centauri writes the first ten prime numbers in arbitrary order as U, W, XW, ZZ, V, Y, ZV, ZW, ZY, and X. Each letter represents a nonzero digit. Each letter represents the same digit everywhere it appears, and different letters represent different digits. Also, the alien is using a base other than base ten. The alien writes another number as UZWX. Compute this number (expressed in base ten, with the usual, human digits). [i]Proposed by Luke Robitaille & Eric Shen[/i]

In January Jeff’s investment went up by three quarters. In February it went down by one quarter. In March it went up by one third. In April it went down by one fifth. In May it went up by one seventh. In June Jeff’s investment fell by $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. If Jeff’s investment was worth the same amount at the end of June as it had been at the beginning of January, find $m + n$.
