Tristan is eating his favorite cereal, Tiger Crunch, which has marshmallows of two colors, black and orange. He eats the marshmallows by randomly choosing from those remaining one at a time, and he starts out with $17$ orange and $5$ black marshmallows. If $\frac{p}{q}$ is the expected number of marshmallows remaining the instant that there is only one color left, and $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $p + q$.

Axel and Berta play the following games: On a board are a number of positive integers. One move consists of a player exchanging a number $x$ on the board for two positive integers y and $z$ (not necessarily different), such that $y + z = x$. The game ends when the numbers on the board are relatively coprime in pairs. The player who made the last move has then lost the game. At the beginning of the game, only the number $2015$ is on the board. The two players make do their moves in turn and Berta begins. One of the players has a winning strategy. Who, and why?

For a positive integer $n$, let $f(n)$ be the number of (not necessarily distinct) primes in the prime factorization of $k$. For example, $f(1) = 0, f(2) = 1, $ and $f(4) = f(6) = 2$. let $g(n)$ be the number of positive integers $k \leq n$ such that $f(k) \geq f(j)$ for all $j \leq n$. Find $g(1) + g(2) + \ldots + g(100)$.

In the lower left corner of the square $7 \times 7$ board there is a king. In one move, he can move either one cell to the right, or one cell up, or one cell diagonally - to the right and up. How many different ways can the king get to the upper right corner of the board if he is prohibited from visiting the central square?

Cat and Claire are having a conversation about Cat's favorite number.
Cat says, "My favorite number is a two-digit positive integer that is the product of three distinct prime numbers!"
Claire says, "I don't know your favorite number yet, but I do know that among four of the numbers that might be your favorite number, you could start with any one of them, add a second, subtract a third, and get the fourth!"
Cat says, "That's cool! My favorite number is not among those four numbers, though."
Claire says, "Now I know your favorite number!"
What is Cat's favorite number?

2004 Harvard-MIT Mathematics Tournament, 9
Urn A contains $4$ white balls and $2$ red balls. Urn B contains $3$ red balls and $3$ black balls. An urn is randomly selected, and then a ball inside of that urn is removed. We then repeat the process of selecting an urn and drawing out a ball, without returning the first ball. What is the probability that the first ball drawn was red, given that the second ball drawn was black?

The figure shows an arbitrary (green) triangle in the center. White squares were built on its sides to the outside. Some of their vertices were connected by segments, white squares were built on them again to the outside, and so on. In the spaces between the squares, triangles and quadrilaterals were formed, which were painted in different colors. Prove that
[list=a]
[*]all colored quadrilaterals are trapezoids;
[*]the areas of all polygons of the same color are equal;
[*]the ratios of the bases of one-color trapezoids are equal;
[*]if $S_0=1$ is the area of the original triangle, and $S_i$ is the area of the colored polygons at the $i^{\text{th}}$ step, then $S_1=1$, $S_2=5$ and for $n\geqslant 3$ the equality $S_n=5S_{n-1}-S_{n-2}$ is satisfied.

Each point is then randomly assigned an integer from $1$ to $100$ inclusive, each equally likely, such that no integer appears more than once. Find the expected value of the number of segments which join two points whose labels differ by at least $50$.
