Vincent has a fair die with sides labeled $1$ to $6$. He first rolls the die and records it on a piece of paper. Then, every second thereafter, he re-rolls the die. If Vincent rolls a different value than his previous roll, he records the value and continues rolling. If Vincent rolls the same value, he stops, does \emph{not} record his final roll, and computes the average of his previously recorded rolls. Given that Vincent first rolled a $1$, let $E$ be the expected value of his result. There exist rational numbers $r,s,t > 0$ such that $E = r-s\ln t$ and $t$ is not a perfect power. If $r+s+t = \frac mn$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m+n$.

All contestants at one contest are sitting in $n$ columns and are forming a "good" configuration. (We define one configuration as "good" when we don't have 2 friends sitting in the same column). It's impossible for all the students to sit in $n-1$ columns in a "good" configuration. Prove that we can always choose contestants $M_1,M_2,...,M_n$ such that $M_i$ is sitting in the $i-th$ column, for each $i=1,2,...,n$ and $M_i$ is friend of $M_{i+1}$ for each $i=1,2,...,n-1$.
