Triangle $ABC$ has sides $AB = 25$, $BC = 30$, and $CA=20$. Let $P,Q$ be the points on segments $AB,AC$, respectively, such that $AP=5$ and $AQ=4$. Suppose lines $BQ$ and $CP$ intersect at $R$ and the circumcircles of $\triangle{BPR}$ and $\triangle{CQR}$ intersect at a second point $S\ne R$. If the length of segment $SA$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{\sqrt{n}}$ for positive integers $m,n$, where $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, find $m+n$.

Among the eight winners of these games, four games are drawn. The four winners qualify for the semi-finals of the competition. Assuming that, whenever a professional player and an amateur play each other, the professional wins the game, what is the probability that an amateur player will reach the semi-finals of the competition?

Let ( M , g ) be a Riemannian manifold. Extend the metric tensor g to the set of tangents TM with the following specification: if $a,b\in T_v TM \, (v\in T_p M)$, then $$\tilde g_v (a, b): = g_p (\dot {\alpha} (0), \dot {\beta} (0) ) + g_p (D _ {\alpha} X(0) , D_{\beta} Y(0) )$$ where $\alpha, \beta$ are curves in M such that $\alpha(0) = \beta(0) = p$. X and Y are vector fields along $\alpha,\beta$ respectively, with the condition $\dot X (0) = a,\dot Y(0) = b$. $D _{\alpha}$ and $D _{\beta}$ are the operators of the covariant derivative along the corresponding curves according to the Levi-Civita connection. Is the eigenfunction from the Riemannian manifold (M,g) to the Riemannian manifold $(TM, \tilde g)$ harmonic?

In a text editor program, initially there is a footprint symbol (L) that we want to multiply. Unfortunately, our computer has been the victim of a hacker attack, and only two functions are working: Copy and Paste, each costing 1 Dürer dollar to use. Using the Copy function, we can select one or more consecutive symbols from the existing ones, and the computer memorizes their number. When using the Paste function, the computer adds as many new footprint symbols to the sequence as were selected in the last Copy. If no Copy has been done yet, Paste cannot be used. Let $D(n)$ denote the minimum number of Dürer dollars required to obtain exactly $n$ footprint symbols. Prove that for any positive integer $k$, there exists a positive integer $N$ such that \[D(N)=D(N+1)+1=D(N+2)=D(N+3)+1=D(N+4)=\ldots=D(N+2k-1)+1=D(N+2k).\]
