Let $A_1A_2A_3...A_{12}$ be a dodecagon (12-gon). Three frogs initially sit at $A_4,A_8,$ and $A_{12}$. At the end of each minute, simultaneously, each of the three frogs jumps to one of the two vertices adjacent to its current position, chosen randomly and independently with both choices being equally likely. All three frogs stop jumping as soon as two frogs arrive at the same vertex at the same time. The expected number of minutes until the frogs stop jumping is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Alex is going to make a set of cubical blocks of the same size and to write a digit on each of their faces so that it would be possible to form every $30$-digit integer with these blocks.

The altitudes of a triangle have integer length and its inradius is a prime number. Find all possible values of the sides of the triangle.

Let $A$ be the sequence of zeroes and ones (binary sequence). The sequence can be modified by the following operation: we may pick a block or a contiguous subsequence where there are an unequal number of zeroes and ones, and then flip their order within the block (so block $a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_r$ becomes $a_r, a_{r-1}, \ldots, a_1$). As an example, let $A$ be the sequence $1,1,0,0,1$. We can pick block $1,0,0$ and flip it, so the sequence $1,\boxed{1,0,0},1$ becomes $1,\boxed{0,0,1},1$. However, we cannot pick block $1,1,0,0$ and flip their order since they contain the same number of $1$s and $0$s. Two sequences $A$ and $B$ are called [i]related[/i] if $A$ can be transformed into $B$ using a finite number the operation mentioned above. Determine the largest natural number $n$ for which there exists $n$ different sequences $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_n$ where each sequence consists of 2022 digits, and for every index $i \neq j$, the sequence $A_i$ is not related to $A_j$.

Eve and Odette play a game on a $3\times 3$ checkerboard, with black checkers and white checkers. The rules are as follows: $\text{I.}$ They play alternately. $\text{II.}$ A turn consists of placing one checker on an unoccupied square of the board. $\text{III.}$ In her turn, a player may select either a white checker or a black checker and need not always use the same colour. $\text{IV.}$ When the board is full, Eve obtains one point for every row, column or diagonal that has an even number of black checkers, and Odette obtains one point for very row, column or diagonal that has an odd number of black checkers. $\text{V.}$ The player obtaining at least five of the eight points WINS. $\text{(a)}$ Is a $4-4$ tie possible? Explain. $\text{(b)}$ Describe a winning strategy for the girl who is first to play.

An equilateral triangle $ABC$ is divided by nine lines parallel to $BC$ into ten bands that are equally wide. We colour the bands alternately red and blue, with the smallest band coloured red.
