Two mathematicians take a morning coffee break each day. They arrive at the cafeteria independently, at random times between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., and stay for exactly $m$ mintues. The probability that either one arrives while the other is in the cafeteria is $40 \%,$ and $m=a-b\sqrt{c},$ where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$

A polygon (not necessarily convex) on the coordinate plane is called [i]plump[/i] if it satisfies the following conditions:
$\bullet$ coordinates of vertices are integers;
$\bullet$ each side forms an angle of $0^\circ$, $90^\circ$, or $45^\circ$ with the abscissa axis;
$\bullet$ internal angles belong to the interval $[90^\circ, 270^\circ]$.
Prove that if a square of each side length of a plump polygon is even, then such a polygon can be cut into several convex plump polygons.

For a point $P = (a,a^2)$ in the coordinate plane, let $l(P)$ denote the line passing through $P$ with slope $2a$. Consider the set of triangles with vertices of the form $P_1 = (a_1, a_1^2), P_2 = (a_2, a_2^2), P_3 = (a_3, a_3^2)$, such that the intersection of the lines $l(P_1), l(P_2), l(P_3)$ form an equilateral triangle $\triangle$. Find the locus of the center of $\triangle$ as $P_1P_2P_3$ ranges over all such triangles.

Let $A_{n,k}$ denote the set of lattice paths in the coordinate plane of upsteps $u=[1,1]$, downsteps $d=[1,-1]$, and flatsteps $f=[1,0]$ that contain $n$ steps, $k$ of which are slanted ($u$ or $d$). A sharp turn is a consecutive pair of $ud$ or $du$. Let $B_{n,k}$ denote the set of paths in $A_{n,k}$ with no upsteps among the first $k-1$ steps, and let $C_{n,k}$ denote the set of paths in $A_{n,k}$ with no sharps anywhere. For example, $fdu$ is in $B_{3,2}$ but not in $C_{3,2}$, while $ufd$ is in $C_{3,2}$ but not $B_{3,2}$. For $1 \le k \le n$, prove that the sets $B_{n,k}$ and $C_{n,k}$ contains the same number of elements.

There are $ m \plus{} 1$ horizontal lines and $ m$ vertical lines on the plane so that $ m(m \plus{} 1)$ intersections are made.
A mark is placed at one of the $ m$ points of the lowest horizontal line.
2 players play the game of the following rules on this lines and points.
1. Each player moves a mark from a point to a point along the lines in turns.
2. The segment is erased after a mark moved along it.
3. When a player cannot make a move, then he loses.
Prove that the lead always wins the game.

Jenny and Kenny are walking in the same direction, Kenny at 3 feet per second and Jenny at 1 foot per second, on parallel paths that are 200 feet apart. A tall circular building 100 feet in diameter is centered midway between the paths. At the instant when the building first blocks the line of sight between Jenny and Kenny, they are 200 feet apart. Let $t$ be the amount of time, in seconds, before Jenny and Kenny can see each other again. If $t$ is written as a fraction in lowest terms, what is the sum of the numerator and denominator?

A flea jumps in a straight numbered line. It jumps first from point $0$ to point $1$. Afterwards, if its last jump was from $A$ to $B$, then the next jump is from $B$ to one of the points $B + (B - A) - 1$, $B + (B - A)$, $B + (B-A) + 1$.
Prove that if the flea arrived twice at the point $n$, $n$ positive integer, then it performed at least $\lceil 2\sqrt n\rceil$ jumps.
