George walks $1$ mile to school. He leaves home at the same time each day, walks at a steady speed of $3$ miles per hour, and arrives just as school begins. Today he was distracted by the pleasant weather and walked the first $\frac{1}{2}$ mile at a speed of only $2$ miles per hour. At how many miles per hour must George run the last $\frac{1}{2}$ mile in order to arrive just as school begins today? $\textbf{(A) }4\qquad\textbf{(B) }6\qquad\textbf{(C) }8\qquad\textbf{(D) }10\qquad \textbf{(E) }12$

Given an integer $h > 1$. Let's call a positive common fraction (not necessarily irreducible) [i]good[/i] if the sum of its numerator and denominator is equal to $h$. Let's say that a number $h$ is [i]remarkable[/i] if every positive common fraction whose denominator is less than $h$ can be expressed in terms of good fractions (not necessarily various) using the operations of addition and subtraction. Prove that $h$ is remarkable if and only if it is prime. (Recall that an common fraction has an integer numerator and a natural denominator.)

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Andrés has $n+1$ cards and each of them has a positive integer written, in such a way that the sum of the $n+1$ numbers is $3n$. Show that Andrés can place one or more cards in a red box and one or more cards in a blue box in such a way that the sum of the numbers of the cards in the red box is equal to twice the sum of the numbers of the cards in the blue box. Clarification: Some of Andrés's letters can be left out of the boxes.
