An isosceles triangle $ABC$ ($AB = AC$) with an incircle of radius $r$ is given. We know that the point $M$ of the intersection of the medians of the triangle $ABC$ lies on this circle. Find the distance from the vertex $A$ to the point of intersection of the bisectrix of the triangle $ABC$. (Grigory Filippovsky)

Shirley has a magical machine. If she inputs a positive even integer $n$, the machine will output $n/2$, but if she inputs a positive odd integer $m$, the machine will output $m+3$. The machine keeps going by automatically using its output as a new input, stopping immediately before it obtains a number already processed. Shirley wants to create the longest possible output sequence possible with initial input at most $100$. What number should she input?

In a village with a population of $1000$, two hundred people have been infected by a disease. A diagnostic test can be done to check whether a person is infected, but the result could be erroneous. That is, there is a $5\%$ probability that the test result of an infected person shows that they are not infected and a $5\%$ probability that the test result of a healthy person shows that they are infected. We randomly choose someone from the population of this village and take the diagnostic test from him. What is the probability that the test result declares that person is infected?
