A gambler offers you a $2$ dollar ticket to play the following game: First, you pick a real number $0 \leq p \leq 1$, then you are given a weighted coin that comes up heads with probability $p$. If you receive $1$ dollar the [i]first[/i] time you flip a tail, and if you receive $2$ dollars [i]first[/i] time you flip a head, what is the optimal expected net winning of flipping the coin twice?

A set of positive numbers has the $\text{triangle property}$ if it has three distinct elements that are the lengths of the sides of a triangle whose area is positive. Consider sets $\{4, 5, 6, \ldots, n\}$ of consecutive positive integers, all of whose ten-element subsets have the triangle property. What is the largest possible value of $n$?

Lily pads $1,2,3,\ldots$ lie in a row on a pond. A frog makes a sequence of jumps starting on pad $1$. From any pad $k$ the frog jumps to either pad $k+1$ or pad $k+2$ chosen randomly and independently with probability $\tfrac12$. The probability that the frog visits pad $7$ is $\tfrac pq$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

Given a rectangle $ABCD$, which is located on the line $\ell$ They want it "turn over" by first turning around the vertex $D$, and then as point $C$ appears on the line $\ell$ - by making a turn around the vertex $C$ (see figure). What is the length of the curve along which the vertex $A$ is moving , at such movement, if $AB = 30$ cm, $BC = 40$ cm?
