One hundred concentric circles with radii $1, 2, 3, \dots, 100$ are drawn in a plane. The interior of the circle of radius 1 is colored red, and each region bounded by consecutive circles is colored either red or green, with no two adjacent regions the same color. The ratio of the total area of the green regions to the area of the circle of radius 100 can be expressed as $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

A paper cup has a base that is a circle with radius $r$, a top that is a circle with radius $2r$, and sides that connect the two circles with straight line segments as shown below. This cup has height $h$ and volume $V$. A second cup that is exactly the same shape as the first is held upright inside the first cup so that its base is a distance of $\tfrac{h}2$ from the base of the first cup. The volume of liquid that will t inside the first cup and outside the second cup can be written $\tfrac{m}{n}\cdot V$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Ten identical crates each of dimensions $ 3$ ft $ \times$ $ 4$ ft $ \times$ $ 6$ ft. The first crate is placed flat on the floor. Each of the remaining nine crates is placed, in turn, flat on top of the previous crate, and the orientation of each crate is chosen at random. Let $ \frac{m}{n}$ be the probability that the stack of crates is exactly $ 41$ ft tall, where $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $ m$.

A disk with radius $1$ is externally tangent to a disk with radius $5$. Let $A$ be the point where the disks are tangent, $C$ be the center of the smaller disk, and $E$ be the center of the larger disk. While the larger disk remains fixed, the smaller disk is allowed to roll along the outside of the larger disk until the smaller disk has turned through an angle of $360^\circ$. That is, if the center of the smaller disk has moved to the point $D$, and the point on the smaller disk that began at $A$ has now moved to point $B$, then $\overline{AC}$ is parallel to $\overline{BD}$. Then $\sin^2(\angle BEA)=\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Let $ T$ be a finite set of positive integers, satisfying the following conditions:
1. For any two elements of $ T$, their greatest common divisor and their least common multiple are also elements of $ T$.
2. For any element $ x$ of $ T$, there exists an element $ x'$ of $ T$ such that $ x$ and $ x'$ are relatively prime, and their least common multiple is the largest number in $ T$.
For each such set $ T$, denote by $ s(T)$ its number of elements. It is known that $ s(T) < 1990$; find the largest value $ s(T)$ may take.

Say that a sequence $a_1$, $a_2$, $a_3$, $a_4$, $a_5$, $a_6$, $a_7$, $a_8$ is [i]cool[/i] if
* the sequence contains each of the integers 1 through 8 exactly once, and
* every pair of consecutive terms in the sequence are relatively prime. In other words, $a_1$ and $a_2$ are relatively prime, $a_2$ and $a_3$ are relatively prime, $\ldots$, and $a_7$ and $a_8$ are relatively prime.
How many cool sequences are there?
