On a circular table sit $\displaystyle {n> 2}$ students. First, each student has just one candy. At each step, each student chooses one of the following actions: (A) Gives a candy to the student sitting on his left or to the student sitting on his right. (B) Separates all its candies in two, possibly empty, sets and gives one set to the student sitting on his left and the other to the student sitting on his right. At each step, students perform the actions they have chosen at the same time. A distribution of candy is called legitimate if it can occur after a finite number of steps. Find the number of legitimate distributions. (Two distributions are different if there is a student who has a different number of candy in each of these distributions.) (Forgive my poor English)

We are given an $18\times 18$ table, all of whose cells may be black or white. Initially all the cells are coloured white. We may perform the following operation: choose one column or one row and change the colour of all cells in this column or row. Is it possible by repeating the operation to obtain a table with exactly $16$ black cells?

Two teams are in a best-two-out-of-three playoff: the teams will play at most $3$ games, and the winner of the playoff is the first team to win $2$ games. The first game is played on Team A's home field, and the remaining games are played on Team B's home field. Team A has a $\frac{2}{3}$ chance of winning at home, and its probability of winning when playing away from home is $p$. Outcomes of the games are independent. The probability that Team A wins the playoff is $\frac{1}{2}$. Then $p$ can be written in the form $\frac{1}{2}(m - \sqrt{n})$, where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers. What is $m + n$? $\textbf{(A) } 10 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 11 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 12 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 13 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 14$
