[b]p3.[/b] Six middle school students are sitting in a circle, facing inwards, and doing math problems. There is a stack of nine math problems. A random student picks up the stack and, beginning with himself and proceeding clockwise around the circle, gives one problem to each student in order until the pile is exhausted. Aditya falls asleep and is therefore not the student who picks up the pile, although he still receives problem(s) in turn. If every other student is equally likely to have picked up the stack of problems and Vishwesh is sitting directly to Aditya’s left, what is the probability that Vishwesh receives exactly two problems?

The time the pizza takes to bake is directly proportional to the distance it is from the fire and the rate at which the pizza bakes is constant whenever the distance isn’t changed. Paul puts a pizza $2$ feet from the fire at $10:30$. Later, he makes another pizza, puts it $2$ feet away from the fire, and moves the first pizza to a distance of $3$ feet away from the fire instantly. If both pizzas finish baking at the same time, at what time are they both done? [b]p5.[/b] You have $n$ coins that are each worth a distinct, positive integer amount of cents.
