A container contains five red balls. On each turn, one of the balls is selected at random, painted blue, and returned to the container. The expected number of turns it will take before all five balls are colored blue is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

For each positive integer $n\geq 2$ we denote with $p(n)$ the largest prime number less than or equal to $n$, and with $q(n)$ the smallest prime number larger than $n$. Prove that \[ \sum^n_{k=2} \frac 1{p(k)q(k)} < \frac 12. \]

A right circular cone has base radius $ r$ and height $ h$. The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making $ 17$ complete rotations. The value of $ h/r$ can be written in the form $ m\sqrt {n}$, where $ m$ and $ n$ are positive integers and $ n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n$.
