Andrew chooses three (not necessarily distinct) integers $a$, $b$, and $c$ independently and uniformly at random from $\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7\}$. Let $p$ be the probability that $abc(a+b+c)$ is divisible by $4$. If $p$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, then compute $m+n$.

Let $ABCD$ be a unit square in the plane. Points $X$ and $Y$ are chosen independently and uniformly at random on the perimeter of $ABCD$. If the expected value of the area of triangle $\triangle AXY$ can be expressed as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $m+n$. [i]Proposed by Nathan Xiong[/i]

If $a \diamondsuit b = \vert a - b \vert \cdot \vert b - a \vert$ then find the value of $1 \diamondsuit (2 \diamondsuit (3 \diamondsuit (4 \diamondsuit 5)))$. [i]Proposed by Muztaba Syed[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution.[/i] $\boxed{9}$ $a\diamondsuit b = (a-b)^2$. This gives us an answer of $\boxed{9}$. [/hide]

The numbers $1$, $2$, $3$, and $4$ are randomly arranged in a $2$ by $2$ grid with one number in each cell. Find the probability the sum of two numbers in the top row of the grid is even. [i]Proposed by Muztaba Syed and Derek Zhao[/i] [hide=Solution] [i]Solution. [/i]$\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$ Pick a number for the top-left. There is one number that makes the sum even no matter what we pick. Therefore, the answer is $\boxed{\dfrac{1}{3}}$.[/hide]

Nina and Meir are walking on a $3$ km path towards grandma's house. They start walking at the same time from the same point. Meir's speed is $4$ km/h and Nina's speed is $3$ km/h. Along the path there are several benches. Whenever Nina or Meir reaches a bench, they sit on it for some time and eat a cookie. Nina always takes $t$ minutes to eat a cookie, and Meir always takes $2t$ minutes to eat a cookie, where $t$ is a positive integer. It turns out that Nina and Meir reached grandma's house at the same time. How many benches were there? Find all of the options.

An automobile starts from rest and ends at rest, traversing a distance of one mile in one minute, along a straight road. If a governor prevents the speed of the car from exceeding $90$ miles per hour, show that at some time of the traverse the acceleration or deceleration of the car was at least $6.6$ ft/sec.

Henry places some rooks and some kings in distinct cells of a $2\times 8$ grid such that no two rooks attack each other and no two kings attack each other. Find the maximum possible number of pieces on the board. (Two rooks [i]attack[/i] each other if they are in the same row or column and no pieces are between them. Two kings attack each other if their cells share a vertex.)

A construction rope is tied to two trees. It is straight and taut. It is then vibrated at a constant velocity $v_1$. The tension in the rope is then halved. Again, the rope is vibrated at a constant velocity $v_2$. The tension in the rope is then halved again. And, for the third time, the rope is vibrated at a constant velocity, this time $v_3$. The value of $\frac{v_1}{v_3}+\frac{v_3}{v_1}$ can be expressed as a positive number $\frac{m\sqrt{r}}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime, and $r$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $m+n+r$. If the number is rational, let $r=1$. [i](Ahaan Rungta, 2 points)[/i]
