Charles has two six-sided dice. One of the dice is fair, and the other die is biased so that it comes up six with probability $\tfrac23,$ and each of the other five sides has probability $\tfrac{1}{15}.$ Charles chooses one of the two dice at random and rolls it three times. Given that the first two rolls are both sixes, the probability that the third roll will also be a six is $\tfrac{p}{q},$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.

[b]p1.[/b] Al usually arrives at the train station on the commuter train at $6:00$, where his wife Jane meets him and drives him home. Today Al caught the early train and arrived at $5:00$. Rather than waiting for Jane, he decided to jog along the route he knew Jane would take and hail her when he saw her. As a result, Al and Jane arrived home $12$ minutes earlier than usual. If Al was jogging at a constant speed of $5$ miles per hour, and Jane always drives at the constant speed that would put her at the station at $6:00$, what was her speed, in miles per hour?

A circle is drawn on the board, and $2n$ points are marked on it, dividing it into $2n$ equal arcs. Petya and Vasya are playing the following game. Petya chooses a positive integer $d \leqslant n$ and announces this number to Vasya. To win the game, Vasya needs to color all marked points using $n$ colors, such that each color is assigned to exactly two points, and for each pair of same-colored points, one of the arcs between them contains exactly $(d - 1)$ marked points. Find all $n$ for which Petya will be able to prevent Vasya from winning.
