When Cirno walks into her perfect math class today, she sees a polynomial $P(x)=1$ (of degree 0) on the blackboard. As her teacher explains, for her pop quiz today, she will have to perform one of the two actions every minute: (a) Add a monomial to $P(x)$ so that the degree of $P$ increases by 1 and $P$ remains monic; (b) Replace the current polynomial $P(x)$ by $P(x+1)$. For example, if the current polynomial is $x^2+2x+3$, then she will change it to $(x+1)^2+2(x+1)+3=x^2+4x+6$. Her score for the pop quiz is the sum of coefficients of the polynomial at the end of 9 minutes. Given that Cirno (miraculously) doesn't make any mistakes in performing the actions, what is the maximum score that she can get? [i]Proposed by Yannick Yao[/i]

A frog starts at $0$ on a number line and plays a game. On each turn the frog chooses at random to jump $1$ or $2$ integers to the right or left. It stops moving if it lands on a nonpositive number or a number on which it has already landed. If the expected number of times it will jump is $\tfrac{p}{q}$ for relatively prime positive integers $p$ and $q$, find $p+q$. [i]Proposed by Michael Kural[/i]
