Billy is standing at $(1,0)$ in the coordinate plane as he watches his Aunt Sydney go for her morning jog starting at the origin. If Aunt Sydney runs into the First Quadrant at a constant speed of $1$ meter per second along the graph of $x=\frac25y^2$, find the rate, in radians per second, at which Billy’s head is turning clockwise when Aunt Sydney passes through $x=1$.

Justin Shan insisted on a spicy sauce. If the probability of a sushi combination that pleased Justin Shan is $6/11$, then how many non-spicy sauces were there?

You have an equilateral paper triangle of area $9$ and fold it in two, following a straight line that passes through the center of the triangle and does not contain any vertex of the triangle. Thus there remains a quadrilateral in which the two pieces overlap, and three triangles without overlaps. Determine the smallest possible value of the quadrilateral area of the overlay.
