Construct a geometric gure in a sequence of steps. In step $1$, begin with a $4\times 4$ square. In step $2$, attach a $1\times 1$ square onto the each side of the original square so that the new squares are on the outside of the original square, have a side along the side of the original square, and the midpoints of the sides of the original square and the attached square coincide. In step $3$, attach a $\frac14\times  \frac14$ square onto the centers of each of the $3$ exposed sides of each of the $4$ squares attached in step $2$. For each positive integer $n$, in step $n + 1$, attach squares whose sides are $\frac14$ as long as the sides of the squares attached in step n placing them at the centers of the $3$ exposed sides of the squares attached in step $n$. The diagram shows the gure after step $4$. If this is continued for all positive integers $n$, the area covered by all the squares attached in all the steps is $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p + q$. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/2/1/d963460373b56906e93c4be73bc6a15e15d0d6.png[/img]

Given the list \[A=[9,12,1,20,17,4,10,7,15,8,13,14],\] we would like to sort it in increasing order. To accomplish this, we will perform the following operation repeatedly: remove an element, then insert it at any position in the list, shifting elements if necessary. What is the minimum number of applications of this operation necessary to sort $A$?

Mattis is hosting a badminton tournament for $40$ players on $20$ courts numbered from $1$ to $20$. The players are distributed with $2$ players on each court. In each round a winner is determined on each court. Afterwards, the player who lost on court $1$, and the player who won on court $20$ stay in place. For the remaining $38$ players, the winner on court $i$ moves to court $i + 1$ and the loser moves to court $i - 1$. The tournament continues until every player has played every other player at least once. What is the minimal number of rounds the tournament can last?
