In some galaxy there are $1000000$ planets and on each of them there are at least $101$ portals. Each portal allows to teleport between some two planets, no two planets are connected by more than one portal. It is known that starting from any planet using portals you can get to any other planet, while it is impossible to return to that planet using once at most 5 different portals. Prove that starting from any planet you can get to any other planet within a year, using at most one portal daily (a year consists of 365 days). [i]M. Zorka[/i]

2010 MOPpers are assigned numbers 1 through 2010. Each one is given a red slip and a blue slip of paper. Two positive integers, A and B, each less than or equal to 2010 are chosen. On the red slip of paper, each MOPper writes the remainder when the product of A and his or her number is divided by 2011. On the blue slip of paper, he or she writes the remainder when the product of B and his or her number is divided by 2011. The MOPpers may then perform either of the following two operations: [list] [*] Each MOPper gives his or her red slip to the MOPper whose number is written on his or her blue slip. [*] Each MOPper gives his or her blue slip to the MOPper whose number is written on his or her red slip.[/list] Show that it is always possible to perform some number of these operations such that each MOPper is holding a red slip with his or her number written on it.

The diagram below shows an $8$x$7$ rectangle with a 3-4-5 right triangle drawn in each corner. The lower two triangles have their sides of length 4 along the bottom edge of the rectangle, while the upper two triangles have their sides of length 3 along the top edge of the rectangle. A circle is tangent to the hypotenuse of each triangle. The diameter of the circle is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.
