On the shoreline they determine two points, which are the most distant from each other, and start to walk along the circle, which has these two points as the endpoints of its diameter. Can they be sure that, independent of the shape of the lake, they do not have to swim across the lake on any part of their route?

Given a point $P$ on a triangular piece of paper $ABC,$ consider the creases that are formed in the paper when $A, B,$ and $C$ are folded onto $P.$ Let us call $P$ a fold point of $\triangle ABC$ if these creases, which number three unless $P$ is one of the vertices, do not intersect.

What is $q+r+s$?

Six ants are placed on the vertices of a regular hexagon with an area of $12$. At each point in time, each ant looks at the next ant in the hexagon (in counterclockwise order), and measures the distance, $s$, to the next ant. Each ant then proceeds towards the next ant at a speed of $\frac{s}{100}$ units per year. After T years, the ants’ new positions are the vertices of a new hexagon with an area of $4$. T is of the form $a \ln b$, where $b$ is square-free. Find $a + b$.
