A sequence of numbers is defined recursively by $a_1 = 1$, $a_2 = \frac{3}{7}$, and $$a_n=\frac{a_{n-2} \cdot a_{n-1}}{2a_{n-2} - a_{n-1}}$$for all $n \geq 3$ Then $a_{2019}$ can be written as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive inegers. What is $p+q ?$ $\textbf{(A) } 2020 \qquad\textbf{(B) } 4039 \qquad\textbf{(C) } 6057 \qquad\textbf{(D) } 6061 \qquad\textbf{(E) } 8078$

Cozi makes a two-way table on chalkboard describing the right or left hand usage of students and teachers in her school. However, when she returns to the chalkboard from lunch, she is dismayed to find that most of the numbers on her table have been erased, leaving behind: \begin{tabular}{c c c c} 5 & ? & ? & Total \\ ? & ? & 6 & Total \\ ? & 11 & ? & \\ Total & Total & & \\ \end{tabular} Fortunately, Cozi remembers that the difference between two of the missing numbers is equal to $12.$ Which of the following could be the total number of students and teachers on the table? $\textbf{(A) }14\qquad\textbf{(B) }15\qquad\textbf{(C) }16\qquad\textbf{(D) }17\qquad\textbf{(E) }18$

A serpentine is a sequence of points $P_1 , ..., P_m$ in a plane, not necessarily all different, such that the distance between $P_i$ and $P_{i+1}$ is at least 1, and the segments $P_i P_{i +1}$ are alternately horizontal and vertical. Construct a compact set in which there is a sequence of serpentines with arbitrary long lengths but there is no closed serpentine ($P_m = P_i$ for some i < m).
