A [i]checkerboard[/i] is a rectangular grid of cells colored black and white such that the top-left corner is black and no two cells of the same color share an edge. Two checkerboards are [i]distinct[/i] if and only if they have a different number of rows or columns. For example, a $20 \times 25$ checkerboard and a $25 \times 20$ checkerboard are considered distinct.
Compute the number of distinct checkerboards that have exactly $41$ distinct black cells.

Fill in the spaces of the grid below with positive integers so that in each $2\times 2$ square with top left number $a$, top right number $b$, bottom left number $c$, and bottom right number $d$, either $a + d = b + c$ or $ad = bc$. You do not need to prove that your answer is the only one possible; you merely need to find an answer that satisfies the constraints above. (Note: In any other USAMTS problem, you need to provide a full proof. Only in this problem is an answer without justification acceptable.)

With a roller shear, rectangular sheets of $1420$ mm wide should be made, namely with a width of $500$ mm and a total length of $1000$ m as well as a width of $300$ mm and a total length of $1800$ m can be cut. So far it has been based on the attached drawing cut, in which the gray area represents the waste, which is quite large. A socialist brigade proposes cutting in such a way that waste is significantly reduced becomes.
a) What percentage is the waste if cutting continues as before?
b) How does the brigade have to cut so that the waste is as small as possible and what is the total length of the starting sheets is required in this case?
c) What percentage is the waste now?

Let $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ be the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, each of whose edges measures 1 meter. A bug, starting from vertex $A$, observes the following rule: at each vertex it chooses one of the three edges meeting at that vertex, each edge being equally likely to be chosen, and crawls along that edge to the vertex at its opposite end. Let $p = n/729$ be the probability that the bug is at vertex $A$ when it has crawled exactly 7 meters. Find the value of $n$.
