In $\triangle RED, RD =1, \angle DRE = 75^\circ$ and $\angle RED = 45^\circ$. Let $M$ be the midpoint of segment $\overline{RD}$. Point $C$ lies on side $\overline{ED}$ such that $\overline{RC} \perp \overline{EM}$. Extend segment $\overline{DE}$ through $E$ to point $A$ such that $CA = AR$. Then $AE = \tfrac{a-\sqrt{b}}{c},$ where $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime positive integers, and $b$ is a positive integer. Find $a+b+c$.

2010 Putnam, B3

There are 2010 boxes labeled $B_1,B_2,\dots,B_{2010},$ and $2010n$ balls have been distributed among them, for some positive integer $n.$ You may redistribute the balls by a sequence of moves, each of which consists of choosing an $i$ and moving [i]exactly[/i] $i$ balls from box $B_i$ into any one other box. For which values of $n$ is it possible to reach the distribution with exactly $n$ balls in each box, regardless of the initial distribution of balls?

1994 Mexico National Olympiad, 4

A capricious mathematician writes a book with pages numbered from $2$ to $400$. The pages are to be read in the following order. Take the last unread page ($400$), then read (in the usual order) all pages which are not relatively prime to it and which have not been read before. Repeat until all pages are read. So, the order would be $2, 4, 5, ... , 400, 3, 7, 9, ... , 399, ...$. What is the last page to be read?

2014 NIMO Problems, 6

Bob is making partitions of $10$, but he hates even numbers, so he splits $10$ up in a special way. He starts with $10$, and at each step he takes every even number in the partition and replaces it with a random pair of two smaller positive integers that sum to that even integer. For example, $6$ could be replaced with $1+5$, $2+4$, or $3+3$ all with equal probability. He terminates this process when all the numbers in his list are odd. The expected number of integers in his list at the end can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100m+n$.
