An integer $x$ is selected at random between 1 and $2011!$ inclusive. The probability that $x^x - 1$ is divisible by $2011$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m$. [i]Author: Alex Zhu[/i]

A frog sitting at the point $(1, 2)$ begins a sequence of jumps, where each jump is parallel to one of the coordinate axes and has length $1$, and the direction of each jump (up, down, right, or left) is chosen independently at random. The sequence ends when the frog reaches a side of the square with vertices $(0,0), (0,4), (4,4),$ and $(4,0)$. What is the probability that the sequence of jumps ends on a vertical side of the square$?$ $\textbf{(A) } \frac{1}{2} \qquad \textbf{(B) } \frac{5}{8} \qquad \textbf{(C) } \frac{2}{3} \qquad \textbf{(D) } \frac{3}{4} \qquad \textbf{(E) } \frac{7}{8}$

Two mathematicians take a morning coffee break each day. They arrive at the cafeteria independently, at random times between 9 a.m. and 10 a.m., and stay for exactly $m$ mintues. The probability that either one arrives while the other is in the cafeteria is $40 \%,$ and $m=a-b\sqrt{c},$ where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers, and $c$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a+b+c.$

Let $ y_0$ be chosen randomly from $ \{0, 50\}$, let $ y_1$ be chosen randomly from $ \{40, 60, 80\}$, let $ y_2$ be chosen randomly from $ \{10, 40, 70, 80\}$, and let $ y_3$ be chosen randomly from $ \{10, 30, 40, 70, 90\}$. (In each choice, the possible outcomes are equally likely to occur.) Let $ P$ be the unique polynomial of degree less than or equal to $ 3$ such that $ P(0) \equal{} y_0$, $ P(1) \equal{} y_1$, $ P(2) \equal{} y_2$, and $ P(3) \equal{} y_3$. What is the expected value of $ P(4)$?

At Durant University, an A grade corresponds to raw scores between $90$ and $100$, and a B grade corresponds to raw scores between $80$ and $90$. Travis has $3$ equally weighted exams in his math class. Given that Travis earned an A on his first exam and a B on his second (but doesn't know his raw score for either), what is the minimum score he needs to have a $90\%$ chance of getting an A in the class? Note that scores on exams do not necessarily have to be integers.

Jack wants to bike from his house to Jill's house, which is located three blocks east and two blocks north of Jack's house. After biking each block, Jack can continue either east or north, but he needs to avoid a dangerous intersection one block east and one block north of his house. In how many ways can he reach Jill's house by biking a total of five blocks? $\textbf{(A) }4\qquad\textbf{(B) }5\qquad\textbf{(C) }6\qquad\textbf{(D) }8\qquad \textbf{(E) }10$

The polynomial $-400x^5+2660x^4-3602x^3+1510x^2+18x-90$ has five rational roots. Suppose you guess a rational number which could possibly be a root (according to the rational root theorem). What is the probability that it actually is a root?

Let $G$ be a non-solvable finite group and let $\varepsilon > 0$. Show that there exist a positive integer $k$ and a word $w\in F_k$ such that $w$ assumes the value $1$ with probability less than $\varepsilon$ when its $k$ arguments are considered to be independent and uniformly distributed random variables with values in $G$. (We write $F_k$ for the free group generated by $k$ elements.)

A cube with $3$-inch edges is to be constructed from $27$ smaller cubes with $1$-inch edges. Twenty-one of the cubes are colored red and $6$ are colored white.

When a certain biased coin is flipped five times, the probability of getting heads exactly once is not equal to $0$ and is the same as that of getting heads exactly twice. Let $\frac ij$, in lowest terms, be the probability that the coin comes up heads in exactly $3$ out of $5$ flips. Find $i+j$.

Liam writes the number $0$ on a board, then performs a series of turns. Each turn, he chooses a nonzero integer so that for every nonzero integer $N,$ he chooses $N$ with $3^{- |N|}$ probability. He adds his chosen integer $N$ to the last number written on the board, yielding a new number. He writes the new number on the board and uses it for the next turn. Liam repeats the process until either $8$ or $9$ is written on the board, at which point he stops. Given that Liam eventually stopped, find the probability the last number he wrote on the board was $9.$

Lil Wayne, the rain god, determines the weather. If Lil Wayne makes it rain on any given day, the probability that he makes it rain the next day is $75\%$. If Lil Wayne doesn't make it rain on one day, the probability that he makes it rain the next day is $25\%$. He decides not to make it rain today. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that the probability that Lil Wayne [i]makes it rain[/i] $n$ days from today is greater than $49.9\%$.

Mary puts one red and one blue marble into a box. In another box she places two red marbles. She then forgets which box is which and randomly reaches into one of the boxes and takes out a red marble. What is the probability that the other marble in that box is blue?

There are three video game systems: the Paystation, the WHAT, and the ZBoz2$\pi$, and none of these systems will play games for the other systems. Uncle Riemann has three nephews: Bernoulli, Galois, and Dirac. Bernoulli owns a Paystation and a WHAT, Galois owns a WHAT and a ZBoz2$\pi$, and Dirac owns a ZBoz2$\pi$ and a Paystation. A store sells $4$ different games for the Paystation, $6$ different games for the WHAT, and $10$ different games for the ZBoz2$\pi$. Uncle Riemann does not understand the difference between the systems, so he walks into the store and buys $3$ random games (not necessarily distinct) and randomly hands them to his nephews. What is the probability that each nephew receives a game he can play?

Take the square with vertices $(0,0)$, $(1,0)$, $(0,1)$, and $(1,1)$. Choose a random point in this square and draw the line segment from it to $(0,0)$. Choose a second random point in this square and draw the line segment from it to $(1,0)$. What is the probability that the two line segments intersect?
