At a party, there are $100$ cats. Each pair of cats flips a coin, and they shake paws if and only if the coin comes up heads. It is known that exactly $4900$ pairs of cats shook paws. After the party, each cat is independently assigned a ``happiness index" uniformly at random in the interval $[0,1]$. We say a cat is [i]practical[/i] if it has a happiness index that is strictly greater than the index of every cat with which it shook paws. The expected value of the number of practical cats is $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers with $\gcd(m,n)=1$. Compute $100m + n$.

Inside the acute-angled triangle $ABC$, the points $P{}$ and $Q{}$ are chosen so that $\angle ACP = \angle BCQ$ and $\angle CBP =\angle ABQ$. The point $Z{}$ is the projection of $P{}$ onto the line $BC$. The point $Q'$ is symmetric to $Q{}$ with respect to $Z{}$. The points $K{}$ and $L{}$ are chosen on the rays $AB$ and $AC$ respectively, so that $Q'K \parallel QC$ and $Q'L \parallel QB$. Prove that $\angle KPL=\angle BPC$.

Let $ p \geq 2$ be a prime number. Eduardo and Fernando play the following game making moves alternately: in each move, the current player chooses an index $i$ in the set $\{0,1,2,\ldots, p-1 \}$ that was not chosen before by either of the two players and then chooses an element $a_i$ from the set $\{0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$. Eduardo has the first move. The game ends after all the indices have been chosen .Then the following number is computed:
$$M=a_0+a_110+a_210^2+\cdots+a_{p-1}10^{p-1}= \sum_{i=0}^{p-1}a_i.10^i$$.
The goal of Eduardo is to make $M$ divisible by $p$, and the goal of Fernando is to prevent this.
Prove that Eduardo has a winning strategy.

(a) Determine all pairs $(x, y)$ of (real) numbers with $0 < x < 1$ and $0 <y < 1$ for which $x + 3y$ and $3x + y$ are both integer. An example is $(x,y) =( \frac{8}{3}, \frac{7}{8}) $, because $ x+3y =\frac38 +\frac{21}{8} =\frac{24}{8} = 3$ and $ 3x+y = \frac98 + \frac78 =\frac{16}{8} = 2$.
(b) Determine the integer $m > 2$ for which there are exactly $119$ pairs $(x,y)$ with $0 < x < 1$ and $0 < y < 1$ such that $x + my$ and $mx + y$ are integers.
Remark: if $u \ne v,$ the pairs $(u, v)$ and $(v, u)$ are different.
