Let $A$, $B$, $C$, and $D$ be the vertices of a regular tetrahedron, each of whose edges measures 1 meter. A bug, starting from vertex $A$, observes the following rule: at each vertex it chooses one of the three edges meeting at that vertex, each edge being equally likely to be chosen, and crawls along that edge to the vertex at its opposite end. Let $p = n/729$ be the probability that the bug is at vertex $A$ when it has crawled exactly 7 meters. Find the value of $n$.

Suppose $\mathcal{E}_1 \neq \mathcal{E}_2$ are two intersecting ellipses with a common focus $X$; let the common external tangents of $\mathcal{E}_1$ and $\mathcal{E}_2$ intersect at a point $Y$. Further suppose that $X_1$ and $X_2$ are the other foci of $\mathcal{E}_1$ and $\mathcal{E}_2$, respectively, such that $X_1\in \mathcal{E}_2$ and $X_2\in \mathcal{E}_1$. If $X_1X_2=8, XX_2=7$, and $XX_1=9$, what is $XY^2$?

Let $ \mathcal{F}$ be a family of hexagons $ H$ satisfying the following properties: i) $ H$ has parallel opposite sides. ii) Any 3 vertices of $ H$ can be covered with a strip of width 1. Determine the least $ \ell\in\mathbb{R}$ such that every hexagon belonging to $ \mathcal{F}$ can be covered with a strip of width $ \ell$. Note: A strip is the area bounded by two parallel lines separated by a distance $ \ell$. The lines belong to the strip, too.

Let $ABC$ be a triangle. For a point $P$ in its interior, we draw the threee lines through $P$ parallel to the sides of the triangle. This partitions $ABC$ in three triangles and three quadrilaterals. Let $V_A$ be the area of the quadrilateral which has $A$ as one vertex. Let $D_A$ be the area of the triangle which has a part of $BC$ as one of its sides. Define $V_B, D_B$ and $V_C, D_C$ similarly. Determine all possible values of $\frac{D_A}{V_A}+\frac{D_B}{V_B}+\frac{D_C}{V_C}$, as $P$ varies in the interior of the triangle.
