Talya went for a 6 kilometer run. She ran 2 kilometers at 12 kilometers per hour followed by 2 kilometers at 10 kilometers per hour followed by 2 kilometers at 8 kilometers per hour. Talya’s average speed for the 6 kilometer run was $\frac{m}{n}$ kilometers per hour, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.

Derek is bored in math class and is drawing a flower. He first draws $8$ points $A_1, A_2, \ldots, A_8$ equally spaced around an enormous circle. He then draws $8$ arcs outside the circle where the $i$th arc for $i = 1, 2, \ldots, 8$ has endpoints $A_i, A_{i+1}$ with $A_9 = A_1,$ such that all of the arcs have radius $1$ and any two consecutive arcs are tangent. Compute the perimeter of Derek’s $8$-petaled flower (not including the central circle).

2019 Tournament Of Towns, 3

Two equal non-intersecting wooden disks, one gray and one black, are glued to a plane. A triangle with one gray side and one black side can be moved along the plane so that the disks remain outside the triangle, while the colored sides of the triangle are tangent to the disks of the same color (the tangency points are not the vertices). Prove that the line that contains the bisector of the angle between the gray and black sides always passes through some fixed point of the plane.

Let $\Gamma$ be a circle and let $d$ be a line such that $\Gamma$ and $d$ have no common points. Further, let $AB$ be a diameter of the circle $\Gamma$; assume that this diameter $AB$ is perpendicular to the line $d$, and the point $B$ is nearer to the line $d$ than the point $A$. Let $C$ be an arbitrary point on the circle $\Gamma$, different from the points $A$ and $B$. Let $D$ be the point of intersection of the lines $AC$ and $d$. One of the two tangents from the point $D$ to the circle $\Gamma$ touches this circle $\Gamma$ at a point $E$; hereby, we assume that the points $B$ and $E$ lie in the same halfplane with respect to the line $AC$. Denote by $F$ the point of intersection of the lines $BE$ and $d$. Let the line $AF$ intersect the circle $\Gamma$ at a point $G$, different from $A$. Prove that the reflection of the point $G$ in the line $AB$ lies on the line $CF$.
