[b]p1.[/b] Sherry starts with a three-digit positive integer. She subtracts $7$ from it, then multiplies the result by $7$, and then adds $7$ to that. If she ends up with $2023$, what number did she start with? [b]p2.[/b] Square $ABCD$ has side length $1$. Point $X$ lies on $\overline{AB}$ such that $\frac{AX}{XB} = 2$, and point $Y$ lies on $\overline{DX}$ such that $\frac{DY}{YX} = 3$. Compute the area of triangle $DAY$ . [b]p3.[/b] A fair six-sided die is labeled $1-6$ such that opposite faces sum to $7$. The die is rolled, but before you can look at the outcome, the die gets tipped over to an adjacent face. If the new face shows a $4$, what is the probability the original roll was a $1$? PS. You should use hide for answers.

Csongi taught Benedek how to fold a duck in 8 steps from a $24$ cm $\times 24$ cm piece of paper. The paper is meant to be folded along the dashed line in the direction of the arrow. Once Benedek folded the duck, he undid all the steps, finding crease lines on the square sheet of paper. On one side of the paper, he drew in blue the folds which opened towards Benedek, and in red the folds which opened toward the table. How many cm is the difference between the total length of the blue lines and the red lines? [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/0/1/358a3b2c3b959a85406b94e34c182fd1c2e28d.png[/img]
