Prove there exist two relatively prime polynomials $P(x),Q(x)$ having integer coefficients and a real number $u>0$ such that if for positive integers $a,b,c,d$ we have:
$$|\frac{a}{c}-1|^{2021} \le \frac{u}{|d||c|^{1010}}$$
$$| (\frac{a}{c})^{2020}-\frac{b}{d}| \le \frac{u}{|d||c|^{1010}}$$
Then we have :
$$bP(\frac{a}{c})=dQ(\frac{a}{c})$$
(Two polynomials are relatively prime if they don't have a common root)

A paper equilateral triangle $ABC$ has side length $12$. The paper triangle is folded so that vertex $A$ touches a point on side $\overline{BC}$ a distance $9$ from point $B$. The length of the line segment along which the triangle is folded can be written as $\frac{m\sqrt{p}}{n}$, where $m$, $n$, and $p$ are positive integers, $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, and $p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+p$.

Erick stands in the square in the 2nd row and 2nd column of a 5 by 5 chessboard. There are \$1 bills in the top left and bottom right squares, and there are \$5 bills in the top right and bottom left squares, as shown below.

Every second, Erick randomly chooses a square adjacent to the one he currently stands in (that is, a square sharing an edge with the one he currently stands in) and moves to that square. When Erick reaches a square with money on it, he takes it and quits. The expected value of Erick's winnings in dollars is $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

A [i]triangulation[/i] of a polygon is a subdivision of the polygon into triangles meeting edge to edge, with the property that the set of triangle vertices coincides with the set of vertices of the polygon. Adam randomly selects a triangulation of a regular $180$-gon. Then, Bob selects one of the $178$ triangles in this triangulation. The expected number of $1^\circ$ angles in this triangle can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $100a + b$.

Let $k$ be a positive integer. Prove that there exists a positive integer $\ell$ with the following property: if $m$ and $n$ are positive integers relatively prime to $\ell$ such that $m^m\equiv n^n \pmod{\ell}$, then $m\equiv n \pmod k$.

Suppose we wish to pick a random integer between $1$ and $N$ inclusive by flipping a fair coin. One way we can do this is through generating a random binary decimal between $0$ and $1$, then multiplying the result by $N$ and taking the ceiling. However, this would take an infinite amount of time. We therefore stopping the flipping process after we have enough flips to determine the ceiling of the number. For instance, if $N=3$, we could conclude that the number is $2$ after flipping $.011_2$, but $.010_2$ is inconclusive.
Suppose $N=2014$. The expected number of flips for such a process is $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$, $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $100m+n$.

The diagram shows a large circular dart board with four smaller shaded circles each internally tangent to the larger circle. Two of the internal circles have half the radius of the large circle, and are, therefore, tangent to each other. The other two smaller circles are tangent to these circles. If a dart is thrown so that it sticks to a point randomly chosen on the dart board, then the probability that the dart sticks to a point in the shaded area is $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

In January Jeff’s investment went up by three quarters. In February it went down by one quarter. In March it went up by one third. In April it went down by one fifth. In May it went up by one seventh. In June Jeff’s investment fell by $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. If Jeff’s investment was worth the same amount at the end of June as it had been at the beginning of January, find $m + n$.

Ten adults enter a room, remove their shoes, and toss their shoes into a pile. Later, a child randomly pairs each left shoe with a right shoe without regard to which shoes belong together. The probability that for every positive integer $k<5,$ no collection of $k$ pairs made by the child contains the shoes from exactly $k$ of the adults is $\tfrac{m}{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Triangle $A_1B_1C_1$ is an equilateral triangle with sidelength $1$. For each $n>1$, we construct triangle $A_nB_nC_n$ from $A_{n-1}B_{n-1}C_{n-1}$ according to the following rule: $A_n,B_n,C_n$ are points on segments $A_{n-1}B_{n-1},B_{n-1}C_{n-1},C_{n-1}A_{n-1}$ respectively, and satisfy the following: \[\dfrac{A_{n-1}A_n}{A_nB_{n-1}}=\dfrac{B_{n-1}B_n}{B_nC_{n-1}}=\dfrac{C_{n-1}C_n}{C_nA_{n-1}}=\dfrac1{n-1}\] So for example, $A_2B_2C_2$ is formed by taking the midpoints of the sides of $A_1B_1C_1$. Now, we can write $\tfrac{|A_5B_5C_5|}{|A_1B_1C_1|}=\tfrac mn$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime integers. Find $m+n$. (For a triangle $\triangle ABC$, $|ABC|$ denotes its area.)
