Both Grace and Somya have quarters, dimes, nickels and pennies.

Each time when Kaitlyn has a number, if it is even, she divides it by $2$, and if it is odd, she multiplies it by $5$ and adds $1$. Kaitlyn then takes the resulting number and continues the process until she reaches $1$. For example, if she begins with $3$, she finds the sequence of $6$ numbers to be $$3, 3 \cdot 5 + 1 = 16, 16/2 = 8, 8/2 = 4, 4/2 = 2, 2/2 = 1.$$ If Kaitlyn's starting number is $51$, how many numbers are in her sequence, including the starting number and the number $1$?

[b]p14.[/b] Dora and Charlotte are playing a game involving flipping coins. On a player's turn, she first chooses a probability of the coin landing heads between $\frac14$ and $\frac34$ , and the coin magically flips heads with that probability. The player then flips this coin until the coin lands heads, at which point her turn ends. The game ends the first time someone flips heads on an odd-numbered flip. The last player to flip the coin wins. If both players are playing optimally and Dora goes first, let the probability that Charlotte win the game be $\frac{a}{b}$ . Find $a \cdot b$. [b]p15.[/b] Jonny is trying to sort a list of numbers in ascending order by swapping pairs of numbers.

If Jonny is given a random list of $400$ distinct numbers, let $x$ be the expected minimum number of swaps he needs. Compute $\left \lfloor \frac{x}{20} \right \rfloor$. PS.
