There is a box containing $100$ balls, each of which is either orange or black. The box is equally likely to contain any number of black balls between $0$ and $100$, inclusive. A random black ball rolls out of the box. The probability that the next ball to roll out of the box is also black can be written in the form $\tfrac{p}{q}$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$.

$2017$ voters vote by submitting a ranking of the integers $\{1, 2, ..., 38\}$ from favorite (a vote for that value in $1$st place) to least favorite (a vote for that value in $38$th/last place). Let $a_k$ be the integer that received the most $k$th place votes (the smallest such integer if there is a tie). Find the maximum possible value of $\Sigma_{k=1}^{38} a_k$.

[b]5.[/b] On a circle consider $n$ points among which there acts a repulsive force inversely proportional to the square of their distance. Prove that the point system is in stable equilibrium if and only if the points form a regular $n$-gon; in other words, considering the sum of the reciprocal distances of the $\binom{n}{2}$ pairs of points which can be chosen from among the $n$ given points, this sum is minimal if and only if the points lie at the vertices of a regular $n$-gon.

With diameters the sides $AB,AC$, we draw semicircles, outer of the triangle, which are intersected by line $D$ at points $M$ and $N$ respectively.

Catherine has a plate containing $300$ circular crumbling mooncakes, arranged as follows: [asy] unitsize(10); for (int i = 0; i < 16; ++i){ for (int j = 0; j < 3; ++j){ draw(circle((sqrt(3)*i,j),0.5)); draw(circle((sqrt(3)*(i+0.5),j-0.5),0.5)); } } dot((16*sqrt(3)+.5,.75)); dot((16*sqrt(3)+1,.75)); dot((16*sqrt(3)+1.5,.75)); [/asy] (This continues for $100$ total columns). She wants to pick some of the mooncakes to eat, however whenever she takes a mooncake all adjacent mooncakes will be destroyed and cannot be eaten. Let $M$ be the maximal number of mooncakes she can eat, and let $n$ be the number of ways she can pick $M$ mooncakes to eat (Note: the order in which she picks mooncakes does not matter). Compute the ordered pair ($M$, $n$).
