On a one-way street, an unending sequence of cars of width $a$, length $b$ passes with velocity $v$. The cars are separated by the distance $c$. A pedestrian crosses the street perpendicularly with velocity $w$, without paying attention to the cars.
[b](a)[/b] What is the probability that the pedestrian crosses the street uninjured?
[b](b)[/b] Can he improve this probability by crossing the road in a direction other than perpendicular?

$n\in{Z^{+}}$ and $A={1,\ldots ,n}$. $f: N\rightarrow N$ and $\sigma: N\rightarrow N$ are two permutations, if there is one $k\in A$ such that $(f\circ\sigma)(1),\ldots ,(f\circ\sigma)(k)$ is increasing and $(f\circ\sigma)(k),\ldots ,(f\circ\sigma)(n)$ is decreasing sequences we say that $f$ is good for $\sigma$. $S_\sigma$ shows the set of good functions for $\sigma$.
a) Prove that, $S_\sigma$ has got $2^{n-1}$ elements for every $\sigma$ permutation.
b)$n\geq 4$, prove that there are permutations $\sigma$ and $\tau$ such that, $S_{\sigma}\cap S_{\tau}=\phi$

Rectangle $ABCD$ has side lengths $AB = 6\sqrt3$ and $BC = 8\sqrt3$. The probability that a randomly chosen point inside the rectangle is closer to the diagonal $\overline{AC}$ than to the outside of the rectangle is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Joe has $1729$ randomly oriented and randomly arranged unit cubes, which are initially unpainted. He makes two cubes of sidelengths $9$ and $10$ or of sidelengths $1$ and $12$ (randomly chosen). These cubes are dipped into white paint. Then two more cubes of sidelengths $1$ and $12$ or $9$ and $10$ are formed from the same unit cubes, again randomly oriented and randomly arranged, and dipped into paint. Joe continues this process until every side of every unit cube is painted. After how many times of doing this is the expected number of painted faces closest to half of the total?

A traffic light runs repeatedly through the following cycle: green for $ 30$ seconds, then yellow for $ 3$ seconds, and then red for $ 30$ seconds. Leah picks a random three-second time interval to watch the light. What is the probability that the color changes while she is watching?

A palindrome is a nonnegative integer number that reads the same forwards and backwards when written in base 10 with no leading zeros. A 6-digit palindrome $n$ is chosen uniformly at random. What is the probability that $\frac{n}{11}$ is also a palindrome?
$ \textbf{(A)} \ \frac{8}{25} \qquad \textbf{(B)} \ \frac{33}{100} \qquad \textbf{(C)} \ \frac{7}{20} \qquad \textbf{(D)} \ \frac{9}{25} \qquad \textbf{(E)} \ \frac{11}{30}$

Consider the L-shaped region formed by three unit squares joined at their sides, as shown below. Two points $A$ and $B$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random from inside this region. The probability that the midpoint of $\overline{AB}$ also lies inside this L-shaped region can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

If $a,b$ and $c$ are three (not necessarily different) numbers chosen randomly and with replacement from the set $\{1,2,3,4,5 \}$, the probability that $ab+c$ is even is

\textbf{(B)}\ \dfrac{59}{125} \qquad
\textbf{(C)}\ \dfrac{1}{2} \qquad
\textbf{(D)}\ \dfrac{64}{125} \qquad

Julia and James pick a random integer between $1$ and $10$, inclusive. The probability they pick the same number can be written in the form $m/n$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m + n$.

A jar contains one white marble, two blue marbles, three red marbles, and four green marbles. If you select two of these marbles without replacement, the probability that both marbles will be the same color is $\tfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n.$

Christopher and Robin are playing a game in which they take turns tossing a circular token of diameter 1 inch onto an infinite checkerboard whose squares have sides of 2 inches. If the token lands entirely in a square, the player who tossed the token gets 1 point; otherwise, the other player gets 1 point. A player wins as soon as he gets two more points than the other player. If Christopher tosses first, what is the probability that he will win? Express your answer as a fraction.
