Let $ABC$ be an equilateral triangle with side length $1$. This triangle is rotated by some angle about its center to form triangle $DEF.$ The intersection of $ABC$ and $DEF$ is an equilateral hexagon with an area that is $\frac{4} {5}$ the area of $ABC.$ The side length of this hexagon can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. What is $m+n$? [i]Author: Ray Li[/i]

Let $S$ be the set $\{-1, 1\}^n$, that is, $n$-tuples such that each coordinate is either $-1$ or $1$. For \[s = (s_1, s_2, \ldots, s_n), t = (t_1, t_2, \ldots, t_n) \in \{-1, 1\}^n,\] define $s \odot t = (s_1t_1, s_2t_2, \ldots, s_nt_n)$. Let $c$ be a positive constant, let $f : S \to \{-1, 1\}$ be a function such that there are at least $(1-c) \cdot 2^{2n}$ pairs $(s, t)$ with $s, t \in S$ such that $f(s \odot t) = f(s)f(t)$. Show that there exists a function $f'$ such that $f'(s \odot t) = f'(s)f'(t)$ for all $s, t \in S$ and $f(s) = f'(s)$ for at least $(1-10c) \cdot 2^n$ values of $s \in S$.

A regular hexagon has positive integer side length. A laser is emitted from one of the hexagon’s corners, and is reflected off the edges of the hexagon until it hits another corner. Let $a$ be the distance that the laser travels. What is the smallest possible value of $a^2$ such that $a > 2019$? You need not simplify/compute exponents.

The integer $202020$ is a multiple of $91$. For each positive integer $n$, show how $n$ additional $2$'s may be inserted into the digits of $202020$ such that the resulting $(n+6)$-digit number is also a multiple of $91$. For example, a possible way to do this when $n=5$ is [u]2[/u]2020[u]2[/u]20[u]222[/u] (the inserted $2$'s are underlined).

Chad and Chad2 run competing rare candy stores at Princeton. Chad has a large supply of boxes of candy, each box containing three candies and costing him \$ $3$ to purchase from his supplier. He charges \$ $1.50$ per candy per student. However, any rare candy in an opened box must be discarded at the end of the day at no profit. Chad knows that at each of $8$am, $10$am, noon, $2$pm, $4$pm, and $6$pm, there will be one person who wants to buy one candy, and that they choose between Chad and Chad2 at random. (He knows that those are the only times when he might have a customer.) Chad may refuse sales to any student who asks for candy. If Chad acts optimally, his expected daily profit can be written in simplest form as $\frac{m}{n}$. Find $m + n$. (Chad’s profit is \$ $1.50$ times the number of candies he sells, minus $3 per box he opens.)
