Square $\mathcal S$ has vertices $(1,0)$, $(0,1)$, $(-1,0)$ and $(0,-1)$. Points $P$ and $Q$ are independently selected, uniformly at random, from the perimeter of $\mathcal S$. Determine, with proof, the probability that the slope of line $PQ$ is positive.

Two rays emanate from the origin $O$ and form a $45^\circ$ angle in the first quadrant of the Cartesian coordinate plane. For some positive numbers $X$, $Y$, and $S$, the ray with the larger slope passes through point $A = (X, S)$, and the ray with the smaller slope passes through point $B = (S, Y)$. If $6X + 6Y + 5S = 600$, then determine the maximum possible area of $\triangle OAB$.

Let $P$ be a point in a square whose side are mirror. A ray of light comes from $P$ and with slope $\alpha$. We know that this ray of light never arrives to a vertex. We make an infinite sequence of $0,1$. After each contact of light ray with a horizontal side, we put $0$, and after each contact with a vertical side, we put $1$. For each $n\geq 1$, let $B_{n}$ be set of all blocks of length $n$, in this sequence.
a) Prove that $B_{n}$ does not depend on location of $P$.
b) Prove that if $\frac{\alpha}{\pi}$ is irrational, then $|B_{n}|=n+1$.

Square $ABCD$ has side length $68$. Let $E$ be the midpoint of segment $\overline{CD}$, and let $F$ be the point on segment $\overline{AB}$ a distance $17$ from point $A$. Point $G$ is on segment $\overline{EF}$ so that $\overline{EF}$ is perpendicular to segment $\overline{GD}$. The length of segment $\overline{BG}$ can be written as $m\sqrt{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers, and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n$.

Divide the plane into an infinite square grid by drawing all the lines $x=m$ and $y=n$ for $m,n \in \mathbb Z$. Next, if a square's upper-right corner has both coordinates even, color it black; otherwise, color it white (in this way, exactly $1/4$ of the squares are black and no two black squares are adjacent). Let $r$ and $s$ be odd integers, and let $(x,y)$ be a point in the interior of any white square such that $rx-sy$ is irrational. Shoot a laser out of this point with slope $r/s$; lasers pass through white squares and reflect off black squares. Prove that the path of this laser will form a closed loop.
