In the Cartesian plane, let $G_1$ and $G_2$ be the graphs of the quadratic functions $f_1(x) = p_1x^2 + q_1x + r_1$ and $f_2(x) = p_2x^2 + q_2x + r_2$, where $p_1 > 0 > p_2$. The graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ cross at distinct points $A$ and $B$. The four tangents to $G_1$ and $G_2$ at $A$ and $B$ form a convex quadrilateral which has an inscribed circle. Prove that the graphs $G_1$ and $G_2$ have the same axis of symmetry.

Suppose 2012 reals are selected independently and at random from the unit interval $[0,1]$, and then written in nondecreasing order as $x_1\le x_2\le\cdots\le x_{2012}$. If the probability that $x_{i+1} - x_i \le \frac{1}{2011}$ for $i=1,2,\ldots,2011$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m,n$, find the remainder when $m+n$ is divided by 1000.

A tripod has three legs each of length 5 feet. When the tripod is set up, the angle between any pair of legs is equal to the angle between any other pair, and the top of the tripod is 4 feet from the ground. In setting up the tripod, the lower 1 foot of one leg breaks off. Let $h$ be the height in feet of the top of the tripod from the ground when the broken tripod is set up. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\frac m{\sqrt{n}},$ where $m$ and $n$ are positive integers and $n$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $\lfloor m+\sqrt{n}\rfloor.$ (The notation $\lfloor x\rfloor$ denotes the greatest integer that is less than or equal to $x$.)
