You are given an unlimited supply of red, blue, and yellow cards to form a hand. Each card has a point value and your score is the sum of the point values of those cards. The point values are as follows: the value of each red card is 1, the value of each blue card is equal to twice the number of red cards, and the value of each yellow card is equal to three times the number of blue cards. What is the maximum score you can get with fifteen cards?

Imagine a regular a $2015$-gon with edge length $2$. At each vertex, draw a unit circle centered at that vertex and color the circle’s circumference orange. Now, another unit circle $S$ is placed inside the polygon such that it is externally tangent to two adjacent circles centered at the vertices. This circle $S$ is allowed to roll freely in the interior of the polygon as long as it remains externally tangent to the vertex circles. As it rolls, $S$ turns the color of any point it touches into black. After it rolls completely around the interior of the polygon, the total length of the black lengths can be expressed in the form $\tfrac{p\pi}{q}$ for positive integers $p, q$ satisfying $\gcd(p, q) = 1$. What is $p + q$?

The names of $8$ people are written on slips of paper and placed in a hat. Each of the $8$ people then randomly draw a piece of paper (without replacement). Then, the people are formed into groups satisfying the following requirements: (i) Each person is in the same group as the person who drew his piece of paper. (ii)There are as many groups as possible while still satisfying condition (i). On average, how many groups will there be? (There might be “groups” of only one person.)
