Pauline Bunyan can shovel snow at the rate of $20$ cubic yards for the first hour, $19$ cubic yards for the second, $18$ for the third, etc., always shoveling one cubic yard less per hour than the previous hour. If her driveway is $4$ yards wide, $10$ yards long, and covered with snow $3$ yards deep, then the number of hours it will take her to shovel it clean is closest to

Let $m\geq 2$ be an integer. A positive integer $n$ has the property that for any positive integer $a$ coprime with $n$, we have $a^m - 1\equiv 0 \pmod n$.
Prove that $n \leq 4m(2^m-1)$.

Let $\Omega$ be a circle, and $B, C$ are two fixed points on $\Omega$. Given a third point $A$ on $\Omega$, let $X$ and $Y$ denote the feet of the altitudes from $B$ and $C$, respectively, in the triangle $ABC$. Prove that there exists a fixed circle $\Gamma$ such that $XY$ is tangent to $\Gamma$ regardless of the choice of the point $A$.

Rahul has ten cards face-down, which consist of five distinct pairs of matching cards. During each move of his game, Rahul chooses one card to turn face-up, looks at it, and then chooses another to turn face-up and looks at it. If the two face-up cards match, the game ends. If not, Rahul flips both cards face-down and keeps repeating this process. Initially, Rahul doesn't know which cards are which. Assuming that he has perfect memory, find the smallest number of moves after which he can guarantee that the game has ended.

King William is located at $(1, 1)$ on the coordinate plane. Every day, he chooses one of the eight lattice points closest to him and moves to one of them with equal probability. When he exits the region bounded by the $x, y$ axes and $x+y = 4$, he stops moving and remains there forever. Given that after an arbitrarily large amount of time he must exit the region, the probability he ends up on $x+y = 4$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

A school has $100$ students and $5$ teachers. In the first period, each student is taking one class, and each teacher is teaching one class. The enrollments in the classes are $50, 20, 20, 5, $ and $5$. Let $t$ be the average value obtained if a teacher is picked at random and the number of students in their class is noted. Let $s$ be the average value obtained if a student was picked at random and the number of students in their class, including the student, is noted. What is $t-s$?

Let $N=10^{2024}$. $S$ is a square in the Cartesian plane with side length $N$ and the sides parallel to the coordinate axes. Inside there are $N$ points $P_1$, $P_2$, $\dots$, $P_N$ all of which have different $x$ coordinates, and the absolute value of the slope of any connected line between these points is at most $1$. Prove that there exists a line $l$ such that at least $2024$ of these points is at most distance $1$ away from $l$.

A rectangular pool table has a hole at each of three of its corners. The lengths of sides of the table are the real numbers $a$ and $b$. A billiard ball is shot from the fourth corner along its angle bisector. The ball falls in one of the holes. What should the relation between $a$ and $b$ be for this to happen?
