Let $a_d$ be the number of non-negative integer solutions $(a, b)$ to $a + b = d$ where $a \equiv b$ (mod $n$) for a fixed $n \in Z^+$. Consider the generating function $M(t) = a_0 + a_1t + a_2t^2 + ...$ Consider $$P(n) = \lim_{t\to 1} \left( nM(t) - \frac{1}{(1 - t)^2} \right).$$ Then $P(n)$, $n \in Z^+$ is a polynomial in $n$, so we can extend its domain to include all real numbers while having it remain a polynomial. Find $P(0)$.

Sigfried is singing the ABC’s $100$ times straight, for some reason. It takes him $20$ seconds to sing the ABC’s once, and he takes a $5$ second break in between songs. Normally, he sings the ABC’s without messing up, but he gets fatigued when singing correctly repeatedly. For any song, if he sung the previous three songs without messing up, he has a $\frac12$ chance of messing up and taking $30$ seconds for the song instead. What is the expected number of minutes it takes for Sigfried to sing the ABC’s $100$ times? Round your answer to the nearest minute.

Let $q$ be a real number. Gugu has a napkin with ten distinct real numbers written on it, and he writes the following three lines of real numbers on the blackboard: [list] [*]In the first line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a-b$, where $a$ and $b$ are two (not necessarily distinct) numbers on his napkin. [*]In the second line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $qab$, where $a$ and $b$ are two (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line. [*]In the third line, Gugu writes down every number of the form $a^2+b^2-c^2-d^2$, where $a, b, c, d$ are four (not necessarily distinct) numbers from the first line.
