Points $K$ and $L$ are inner for $AB$ for an acute $\Delta ABC$, where $K$ is between $A$ and $L$. Let $P,Q$, and $H$ be the feet of the perpendiculars from $A$ to $CK$, from $B$ to $CL$, and from $C$ to $AB$, respectively. Point $M$ is the middle point of $AB$.

Unit cubes are made into beads by drilling a hole through them along a diagonal. The beads are put on a string in such a way that they can move freely in space under the restriction that the vertices of two neighboring cubes are touching. Let $ A$ be the beginning vertex and $ B$ be the end vertex. Let there be $ p \times q \times r$ cubes on the string $ (p, q, r \geq 1).$ [i](a)[/i] Determine for which values of $ p, q,$ and $ r$ it is possible to build a block with dimensions $ p, q,$ and $ r.$ Give reasons for your answers. [i](b)[/i] The same question as (a) with the extra condition that $ A \equal{} B.$

Tim the Beaver can make three different types of geometrical figures: squares, regular hexagons, and regular octagons. Tim makes a random sequence $F_0$, $F_1$, $F_2$, $F_3$, $...$ of figures as follows: $\bullet$ $F_0$ is a square. $\bullet$ For every positive integer $i$, $F_i$ is randomly chosen to be one of the $2$ figures distinct from $F_{i-1}$ (each chosen with equal probability $\frac12$ ). $\bullet$ Tim takes $4$ seconds to make squares, $6$ to make hexagons, and $8$ to make octagons. He makes one figure after another, with no breaks in between. Suppose that exactly $17$ seconds after he starts making $F_0$, Tim is making a figure with $n$ sides. What is the expected value of $n$?
