In a circle $\odot O$, radius $OA$ is perpendicular to radius $OB$. Chord $AC$ intersects $OB$ at $E$ so that the length of arc $AC$ is one-third the circumference of $\odot O$. Point $D$ is chosen on $OB$ so that $CD \perp AB$. Suppose that segment $AC$ is $2$ units longer than segment $OD$. What is the length of segment $AC$?

[u]Round 1[/u] [b]p1.[/b] Elaine creates a sequence of positive integers $\{s_n\}$. She starts with $s_1 = 2018$. For $n \ge 2$, she sets $s_n =\frac12 s_{n-1}$ if $s_{n-1}$ is even and $s_n = s_{n-1} + 1$ if $s_{n-1}$ is odd. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that $s_n = 1$, or submit “$0$” as your answer if no such $n$ exists.

Let $C$ be a closed convex curve with a continuously turning tangent and let $O$ be a point inside $C.$ For each point $P$ on $C$ we define $T(P)$ as follows: Draw the tangent to $C$ at $P$ and from $O$ drop the perpendicular to that tangent. Then $T(P)$ is the point at which $C$ intersects this perpendicular. Starting now with a point $P_{0}$ on $C$, define points $P_n$ by $P_n =T(P_{n-1}).$ Prove that the points $P_{n}$ approach a limit and characterize all possible limit points. (You may assume that $T$ is continuous.)

Carter and Vivian decide to spend their afternoon listing pairs of real numbers, $(a, b).$ Carter wants to find all $(a, b)$ such that $(a, b)$ lie within a circle of radius $6$ centered at $(6, 6).$ Vivian hates circles and would rather find all $(a, b)$ such that $a,$ $b,$ and $6$ can be the side lengths of a triangle. If Carter randomly chooses an $(a, b)$ that satisfies his conditions, then the probability that the pair also satisfies Vivian's conditions can be written in the form $\tfrac{p}{q} + \tfrac{r}{s\pi},$ where $p,$ $q,$ $r,$ and $s$ are positive integers, $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime, and $r$ and $s$ are relatively prime. Find $p + q + r + s.$
