A rectangular box has width $12$ inches, length $16$ inches, and height $\tfrac{m}{n}$ inches, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Three rectangular sides of the box meet at a corner of the box. The center points of those three rectangular sides are the vertices of a triangle with area $30$ square inches. Find $m + n.$

Let $P_1$, $P_2$, $\dots$, $P_{2n}$ be $2n$ distinct points on the unit circle $x^2+y^2=1$, other than $(1,0)$. Each point is colored either red or blue, with exactly $n$ red points and $n$ blue points. Let $R_1$, $R_2$, $\dots$, $R_n$ be any ordering of the red points. Let $B_1$ be the nearest blue point to $R_1$ traveling counterclockwise around the circle starting from $R_1$. Then let $B_2$ be the nearest of the remaining blue points to $R_2$ travelling counterclockwise around the circle from $R_2$, and so on, until we have labeled all of the blue points $B_1, \dots, B_n$. Show that the number of counterclockwise arcs of the form $R_i \to B_i$ that contain the point $(1,0)$ is independent of the way we chose the ordering $R_1, \dots, R_n$ of the red points.

A rectangular piece of paper has corners labeled $A, B, C$, and $D$, with $BC = 80$ and $CD = 120$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of side $AB$. The corner labeled $A$ is folded along line $MD$ and the corner labeled $B$ is folded along line $MC$ until the segments $AM$ and $MB$ coincide. Let $S$ denote the point in space where $A$ and $B$ meet. If $H$ is the foot of the perpendicular from $S$ to the original plane of the paper, find $HM$.

Let $l_1 \neq BC$ be the external tangent line to $\omega_2$ and $\omega_3$. Define $l_2$ and $l_3$ similarly, with respect to the pairs $\omega_1$, $\omega_3$ and $\omega_1$, $\omega_2$.

Let $Q$ be a set of prime numbers, not necessarily finite. For a positive integer $n$ consider its prime factorization: define $p(n)$ to be the sum of all the exponents and $q(n)$ to be the sum of the exponents corresponding only to primes in $Q$. A positive integer $n$ is called [i]special[/i] if $p(n)+p(n+1)$ and $q(n)+q(n+1)$ are both even integers. Prove that there is a constant $c>0$ independent of the set $Q$ such that for any positive integer $N>100$, the number of special integers in $[1,N]$ is at least $cN$. (For example, if $Q=\{3,7\}$, then $p(42)=3$, $q(42)=2$, $p(63)=3$, $q(63)=3$, $p(2022)=3$, $q(2022)=1$.)
