Let $a$ and $b$ be positive real numbers such that $\log_{43}{a} = \log_{47} (3a + 4b) = \log_{2021}b^2$. Then, the value of $\tfrac{b^2}{a^2}$ can be written as $m + \sqrt{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are integers. Find $m + n$.

[b]p10 [/b]Kathy has two positive real numbers, $a$ and $b$. She mistakenly writes $$\log (a + b) = \log (a) + \log( b),$$ but miraculously, she finds that for her combination of $a$ and $b$, the equality holds. If $a = 2022b$, then $b = \frac{p}{q}$ , for positive integers $p, q$ where $gcd(p, q) = 1$. Find $p + q$. [b]p11[/b] Points $X$ and $Y$ lie on sides $AB$ and $BC$ of triangle $ABC$, respectively. Ray $\overrightarrow{XY}$ is extended to point $Z$ such that $A, C$, and $Z$ are collinear, in that order. If triangle$ ABZ$ is isosceles and triangle $CYZ$ is equilateral, then the possible values of $\angle ZXB$ lie in the interval $I = (a^o, b^o)$, such that $0 \le a, b \le 360$ and such that $a$ is as large as possible and $b$ is as small as possible. Find $a + b$. [b]p12[/b] Let $S = \{(a, b) | 0 \le a, b \le 3, a$ and $b$ are integers $\}$. In other words, $S$ is the set of points in the coordinate plane with integer coordinates between $0$ and $3$, inclusive. Prair selects four distinct points in $S$, for each selected point, she draws lines with slope $1$ and slope $-1$ passing through that point. Given that each point in $S$ lies on at least one line Prair drew, how many ways could she have selected those four points?
