Three piles of stones are given, initially containing 2000, 4000, and 4899 stones respectively. Ali and Baba play the following game, taking turns, with Ali starting first. In one move, a player can choose two piles and transfer some stones from one pile to the other, provided that at the end of the move, the pile from which the stones are moved has no fewer stones than the pile to which the stones are moved. The player who cannot make a move loses. Does either player have a winning strategy, and if so, who?

A square piece of paper, 4 inches on a side, is folded in half vertically. Both layers are then cut in half parallel to the fold. Three new rectangles are formed, a large one and two small ones. What is the ratio of the perimeter of one of the small rectangles to the perimeter of the large rectangle?

Let $EFGH$, $EFDC$, and $EHBC$ be three adjacent square faces of a cube, for which $EC=8$, and let $A$ be the eighth vertex of the cube. Let $I$, $J$, and $K$, be the points on $\overline{EF}$, $\overline{EH}$, and $\overline{EC}$, respectively, so that $EI=EJ=EK=2$. A solid $S$ is obtained by drilling a tunnel through the cube. The sides of the tunnel are planes parallel to $\overline{AE}$, and containing the edges, $\overline{IJ}$, $\overline{JK}$, and $\overline{KI}$. The surface area of $S$, including the walls of the tunnel, is $m+n\sqrt{p}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.

Andrew generates a finite random sequence $\{a_n\}$ of distinct integers according to the following criteria: [list] [*] $a_0 = 1$, $0 < |a_n| < 7$ for all $n$, and $a_i \neq a_j$ for all $i < j$. [*] $a_{n+1}$ is selected uniformly at random from the set $\{a_n - 1, a_n + 1, -a_n\}$, conditioned on the above rule. The sequence terminates if no element of the set satisfies the first condition. [/list] For example, if $(a_0, a_1) = (1, 2)$, then $a_2$ would be chosen from the set $\{-2,3\}$, each with probability $\tfrac12$. Determine the probability that there exists an integer $k$ such that $a_k = 6$.
