Daniel has a (mostly) standard deck of 54 cards, consisting of 4 suits each containing the ranks 1 to 13 as well as 2 jokers. Daniel plays the following game: He shuffles the deck uniformly randomly and then takes all of the cards that end up strictly between the two jokers. He then sums up the ranks of all the cards he has taken and calls that his score.
Let $p$ be the probability that his score is a multiple of 13. There exists relatively prime positive integers $a$ and $b,$ with $b$ as small as possible, such that $|p - a/b| < 10^{-10}.$ What is $a/b?$

In the game of Flow, a path is drawn through a $3\times3$ grid of squares obeying the following rules:
i A path is continuous with no breaks (it can be drawn without lifting a pencil).
ii A path that spans multiple squares can only be drawn between colored squares that share a side.
iii A path cannot go through a square more than once.
Compute the number of ways to color a positive number of squares on the grid such that a valid path can be drawn.
An example of one such coloring and a valid path is shown below.

The edges of a cube are labeled from $1$ to $12$. Show that there must exist at least eight triples $(i, j, k)$ with $1 \leq i < j < k \leq 12$ so that the edges $i, j, k$ are consecutive edges of a path. Also show that there exists labeling in which we cannot find nine such triples.
2011 Irish Math Olympiad, 5
In the mathematical talent show called “The $X^2$-factor” contestants are scored by a a panel of $8$ judges. Each judge awards a score of $0$ (‘fail’), $X$ (‘pass’), or $X^2$ (‘pass with distinction’). Three of the contestants were Ann, Barbara and David. Ann was awarded the same score as Barbara by exactly $4$ of the judges. David declares that he obtained different scores to Ann from at least $4$ of the judges, and also that he obtained different scores to Barbara from at least $4$ judges.
In how many ways could scores have been allocated to David, assuming he is telling the truth?

Let $A, B$, and $F$ be positive integers, and assume $A < B < 2A$. A flea is at the number $0$ on the number line. The flea can move by jumping to the right by $A$ or by $B$. Before the flea starts jumping, Lavaman chooses finitely many intervals $\{m+1, m+2, \ldots, m+A\}$ consisting of $A$ consecutive positive integers, and places lava at all of the integers in the intervals. The intervals must be chosen so that:
([i]i[/i]) any two distinct intervals are disjoint and not adjacent;
([i]ii[/i]) there are at least $F$ positive integers with no lava between any two intervals; and
([i]iii[/i]) no lava is placed at any integer less than $F$.
Prove that the smallest $F$ for which the flea can jump over all the intervals and avoid all the lava, regardless of what Lavaman does, is $F = (n-1)A + B$, where $n$ is the positive integer such that $\frac{A}{n+1} \le B-A < \frac{A}{n}$.
