In triangle $ABC$, $BC = 23$, $CA = 27$, and $AB = 30$. Points $V$ and $W$ are on $\overline{AC}$ with $V$ on $\overline{AW}$, points $X$ and $Y$ are on $\overline{BC}$ with $X$ on $\overline{CY}$, and points $Z$ and $U$ are on $\overline{AB}$ with $Z$ on $\overline{BU}$. In addition, the points are positioned so that $\overline{UV} \parallel \overline{BC}$, $\overline{WX} \parallel \overline{AB}$, and $\overline{YZ} \parallel \overline{CA}$. Right angle folds are then made along $\overline{UV}$, $\overline{WX}$, and $\overline{YZ}$. The resulting figure is placed on a level floor to make a table with triangular legs. Let $h$ be the maximum possible height of a table constructed from triangle $ABC$ whose top is parallel to the floor. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\tfrac{k \sqrt{m}}{n}$, where $k$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $m$ is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $k + m + n$.

Find with proof the smallest $n$ such that $P (n)$ is a multiple of $2010$.

[b]p16[/b] Madelyn is being paid $\$50$/hour to find useful [i]Non-Functional Trios[/i], where a Non-Functional Trio is defined as an ordered triple of distinct real numbers $(a, b, c)$, and a Non- Functional Trio is [i]useful [/i] if $(a, b)$, $(b, c)$, and $(c, a)$ are collinear in the Cartesian plane.

Define a [i]rooted tree[/i] to be a tree $T$ with a singular node designated as the [i]root[/i] of $T$. (Note that every node in the tree can have an arbitrary number of children.) Each vertex adjacent to the root node of $T$ is itself the root of some tree called a [i]maximal subtree[/i] of $T$.
Say two rooted trees $T_1$ and $T_2$ are [i]similar[/i] if there exists some way to cycle the maximal subtrees of $T_1$ to get $T_2$. For example, the first pair of trees below are similar but the second pair are not. How many rooted trees with $2019$ nodes are there up to similarity?
