On a circle, numbers from $1$ to $100$ are arranged in some order. We call a pair of numbers [i]good [/i] if these two numbers do not stand side by side, and at least on one of the two arcs into which they break a circle, all the numbers are less than each of them. What can be the total number of [i]good [/i] pairs?

Let $ ABC$ be a triangle, and $ I$ its incenter. Let the incircle of $ ABC$ touch side $ BC$ at $ D$, and let lines $ BI$ and $ CI$ meet the circle with diameter $ AI$ at points $ P$ and $ Q$, respectively.

A family of sets $F$ is called perfect if the following condition holds: For every triple of sets $X_1, X_2, X_3\in F$, at least one of the sets $$ (X_1\setminus X_2)\cap X_3,$$ $$(X_2\setminus X_1)\cap X_3$$ is empty.

Each of the integers from 1 to 4027 has been colored either green or red. Changing the color of a number is making it red if it was green and making it green if it was red. Two positive integers $m$ and $n$ are said to be [i]cuates[/i] if either $\frac{m}{n}$ or $\frac{n}{m}$ is a prime number. A [i]step[/i] consists in choosing two numbers that are cuates and changing the color of each of them. Show it is possible to apply a sequence of steps such that every integer from 1 to 2014 is green.

In a game, there are three indistinguishable boxes; one box contains two red balls, one contains two blue balls, and the last contains one ball of each color. To play, Raj first predicts whether he will draw two balls of the same color or two of different colors. Then, he picks a box, draws a ball at random, looks at the color, and replaces the ball in the same box. Finally, he repeats this; however, the boxes are not shuffled between draws, so he can determine whether he wants to draw again from the same box. Raj wins if he predicts correctly; if he plays optimally, what is the probability that he will win?

13. Let $\triangle T B D$ be a triangle with $T B=6, B D=8$, and $D T=7$. Let $I$ be the incenter of $\triangle T B D$, and let $T I$ intersect the circumcircle of $\triangle T B D$ at $M \neq T$. Let lines $T B$ and $M D$ intersect at $Y$, and let lines $T D$ and $M B$ intersect at $X$. Let the circumcircles of $\triangle Y B M$ and $\triangle X D M$ intersect at $Z \neq M$. If the area of $\triangle Y B Z$ is $x$ and the area of $\triangle X D Z$ is $y$, then the ratio $\frac{x}{y}$ can be expressed as $\frac{p}{q}$, where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$.
