Two real numbers $x, y$ are chosen randomly and independently on the interval $(1, r)$ where $r$ is some real number between $1024$ and $2048$. Let $P$ be the probability that $\lfloor \log_2x \rfloor > \lfloor \log_2y \rfloor .$ The value of $P$ is maximized when $r = \frac{p}{q}$ where $p,q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q.$

Let \( ABC \) be a scalene triangle. Let \( E \) and \( F \) be the midpoints of sides \( AC \) and \( AB \), respectively, and let \( D \) be any point on segment \( BC \). The circumcircles of triangles \( BDF \) and \( CDE \) intersect line \( EF \) at points \( K \neq F \), and \( L \neq E \), respectively, and intersect at points \( X \neq D \).

A walk consists of a sequence of steps of length 1 taken in the directions north, south, east, or west. A walk is self-avoiding if it never passes through the same point twice. Let $f(n)$ be the number of $n$-step self-avoiding walks which begin at the origin. Compute $f(1)$, $f(2)$, $f(3)$, $f(4)$, and show that
\[2^n < f(n) \le 4 \cdot 3^{n - 1}.\]

Mojtaba and Hooman are playing a game. Initially Mojtaba draws $2018$ vectors with zero sum. Then in each turn, starting with Mojtaba, the player takes a vector and puts it on the plane. After the first move, the players must put their vector next to the previous vector (the beginning of the vector must lie on the end of the previous vector).
At last, there will be a closed polygon. If this polygon is not self-intersecting, Mojtaba wins. Otherwise Hooman. Who has the winning strategy?
