[b]p1.[/b] Given two irreducible fractions. The denominator of the first fraction is $4$, the denominator of the second fraction is $6$. What can the denominator of the product of these fractions be equal to if the product is represented as an irreducible fraction?
[b]p2.[/b] Three horses compete in the race. The player can bet a certain amount of money on each horse. Bets on the first horse are accepted in the ratio $1: 4$. This means that if the first horse wins, then the player gets back the money bet on this horse, and four more times the same amount. Bets on the second horse are accepted in the ratio $1:3$, on the third -$ 1:1$. Money bet on a losing horse is not returned. Is it possible to bet in such a way as to win whatever the outcome of the race?

2022 Pan-American Girls' Math Olympiad, 6
Ana and Bety play a game alternating turns. Initially, Ana chooses an odd possitive integer and composite $n$ such that $2^j<n<2^{j+1}$ with $2<j$. In her first turn Bety chooses an odd composite integer $n_1$ such that
\[n_1\leq \frac{1^n+2^n+\dots+(n-1)^n}{2(n-1)^{n-1}}.\]
Then, on her other turn, Ana chooses a prime number $p_1$ that divides $n_1$. If the prime that Ana chooses is $3$, $5$ or $7$, the Ana wins; otherwise Bety chooses an odd composite positive integer $n_2$ such that \[n_2\leq \frac{1^{p_1}+2^{p_1}+\dots+(p_1-1)^{p_1}}{2(p_1-1)^{p_1-1}}.\]
After that, on her turn, Ana chooses a prime $p_2$ that divides $n_2,$, if $p_2$ is $3$, $5$, or $7$, Ana wins, otherwise the process repeats. Also, Ana wins if at any time Bety cannot choose an odd composite positive integer in the corresponding range. Bety wins if she manages to play at least $j-1$ turns. Find which of the two players has a winning strategy.

[b]p1.[/b] There are $4$ mirrors facing the inside of a $5\times 7$ rectangle as shown in the figure. A ray of light comes into the inside of a rectangle through $A$ with an angle of $45^o$. When it hits the sides of the rectangle, it bounces off at the same angle, as shown in the diagram. How many times will the ray of light bounce before it reaches any one of the corners $A$, $B$, $C$, $D$? A bounce is a time when the ray hit a mirror and reflects off it.

[b]p2.[/b] Jerry cuts $4$ unit squares out from the corners of a $45\times 45$ square and folds it into a $43\times 43\times 1$ tray.

Bernado and Silvia play the following game. An integer between 0 and 999, inclusive, is selected and given to Bernado. Whenever Bernado receives a number, he doubles it and passes the result to Silvia. Whenever Silvia receives a number, she adds 50 to it and passes the result to Bernado. The winner is the last person who produces a number less than 1000. Let $N$ be the smallest initial number that results in a win for Bernado. What is the sum of the digits of $N$?
