[b]p2.[/b] Find the number of ordered pairs $(x,y)$ of three digit base-$10$ positive integers such that $x-y$ is a positive integer, and there are no borrows in the subtraction $x-y$. For example, the subtraction on the left has a borrow at the tens digit but not at the units digit, whereas the subtraction on the right has no borrows. $$\begin{tabular}{ccccc} & 4 & 7 & 2 \\ - & 1 & 9 & 1\\ \hline & 2 & 8 & 1 \\ \end{tabular}\,\,\, \,\,\, \begin{tabular}{ccccc} & 3 & 7 & 9 \\ - & 2 & 6 & 3\\ \hline & 1 & 1 & 6 \\ \end{tabular}$$ [b]p3.[/b] Evaluate $$1 \cdot 2 \cdot 3-2 \cdot 3 \cdot 4+3 \cdot 4 \cdot 5- 4 \cdot 5 \cdot 6+ ... +2017 \cdot 2018 \cdot 2019 -2018 \cdot 2019 \cdot 2020+1010 \cdot 2019 \cdot 2021$$ [b]p4.[/b] Find the number of ordered pairs of integers $(a,b)$ such that $$\frac{ab+a+b}{a^2+b^2+1}$$ is an integer. [b]p5.[/b] Lin Lin has a $4\times 4$ chessboard in which every square is initially empty. Every minute, she chooses a random square $C$ on the chessboard, and places a pawn in $C$ if it is empty. Then, regardless of whether $C$ was previously empty or not, she then immediately places pawns in all empty squares a king’s move away from $C$. The expected number of minutes before the entire chessboard is occupied with pawns equals $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$,$n$. Find $m+n$. A king’s move, in chess, is one square in any direction on the chessboard: horizontally, vertically, or diagonally.

[b]p8.[/b] Earl the electron is currently at $(0,0)$ on the Cartesian plane and trying to reach his house at point $(4,4)$. Each second, he can do one of three actions: move one unit to the right, move one unit up, or teleport to the point that is the reflection of its current position across the line $y=x$. Earl cannot teleport in two consecutive seconds, and he stops taking actions once he reaches his house. Earl visits a chronologically ordered sequence of distinct points $(0,0)$, $...$, $(4,4)$ due to his choice of actions. This is called an [i]Earl-path[/i]. How many possible such [i]Earl-paths[/i] are there?

If $P(1) =\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, then find the remainder when $m+n$ is divided by $100$. [b]p10.[/b] A randomly shuffled standard deck of cards has $52$ cards, $13$ of each of the four suits. There are $4$ Aces and $4$ Kings, one of each of the four suits. One repeatedly draws cards from the deck until one draws an Ace. Given that the first King appears before the first Ace, the expected number of cards one draws after the first King and before the first Ace is $\frac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$. [b]p11.[/b] The following picture shows a beam of light (dashed line) reflecting off a mirror (solid line). The [i]angle of incidence[/i] is marked by the shaded angle; the[i] angle of reflection[/i] is marked by the unshaded angle. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/9/d/d58086e5cdef12fbc27d0053532bea76cc50fd.png[/img] The sides of a unit square $ABCD$ are magically distorted mirrors such that whenever a light beam hits any of the mirrors, the measure of the angle of incidence between the light beam and the mirror is a positive real constant $q$ degrees greater than the measure of the angle of reflection between the light beam and the mirror. A light beam emanating from $A$ strikes $\overline{CD}$ at $W_1$ such that $2DW_1 =CW_1$, reflects off of $\overline{CD}$ and then strikes $\overline{BC}$ at $W_2$ such that $2CW_2 = BW_2$, reflects off of $\overline{BC}$, etc. To this end, denote $W_i$ the $i$-th point at which the light beam strikes $ABCD$. As $i$ grows large, the area of $W_iW_{i+1}W_{i+2}W_{i+3}$ approaches $\frac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Compute $m+n$.

[b]p13.[/b] Let $n$ be a fixed positive integer, and let $\{a_k\}$ and $\{b_k\}$ be sequences defined recursively by $$a_1 = b_1 = n^{-1}$$ $$a_j = j(n- j+1)a_{j-1}\,\,\, , \,\,\, j > 1$$ $$b_j = nj^2b_{j-1}+a_j\,\,\, , \,\,\, j > 1$$ When $n = 2021$, then $a_{2021} +b_{2021} = m \cdot 2017^2$ for some positive integer $m$. Find the remainder when $m$ is divided by $2017$. [b]p14.[/b] Consider the quadratic polynomial $g(x) = x^2 +x+1020100$. A positive odd integer $n$ is called $g$-[i]friendly[/i] if and only if there exists an integer $m$ such that $n$ divides $2 \cdot g(m)+2021$. Find the number of $g$-[i]friendly[/i] positive odd integers less than $100$. [b]p15.[/b] Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $AB < AC$, inscribed in a circle with radius $1$ and center $O$. Let $H$ be the intersection of the altitudes of $ABC$. Let lines $\overline{OH}$, $\overline{BC}$ intersect at $T$. Suppose there is a circle passing through $B$, $H$, $O$, $C$. Given $\cos (\angle ABC-\angle BCA) = \frac{11}{32}$ , then $TO = \frac{m\sqrt{p}}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$,$n$ and squarefree positive integer $p$. Find $m+n+ p$. PS.
