Jar A contains four liters of a solution that is $45\%$ acid. Jar B contains five liters of a solution that is $48\%$ acid. Jar C contains one liter of a solution that is $k\%$ acid. From jar C, $\tfrac{m}{n}$ liters of the solution is added to jar A, and the remainder of the solution in jar C is added to jar B. At the end, both jar A and jar B contain solutions that are $50\%$ acid. Given that $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $k+m+n$.

Nathaniel and Obediah play a game in which they take turns rolling a fair six-sided die and keep a running tally of the sum of the results of all rolls made. A player wins if, after he rolls, the number on the running tally is a multiple of 7. Play continues until either player wins, or else inde nitely. If Nathaniel goes fi rst, determine the probability that he ends up winning.
