[i]A. Akopyan, A. Akopyan, A. Akopyan, I. Bogdanov[/i] A conjurer Arutyun and his assistant Amayak are going to show following super-trick. A circle is drawn on the board in the room. Spectators mark $2007$ points on this circle, after that Amayak removes one of them. Then Arutyun comes to the room and shows a semicircle, to which the removed point belonged. Explain, how Arutyun and Amayak may show this super-trick.

$a$ and $b$ are natural numbers such that $b > a > 1$, and $a$ does not divide $b$. The sequence of natural numbers $\{b_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ satisfies $b_{n + 1} \geq 2b_n \forall n \in \mathbb{N}$. Does there exist a sequence $\{a_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$ of natural numbers such that for all $n \in \mathbb{N}$, $a_{n + 1} - a_n \in \{a, b\}$, and for all $m, l \in \mathbb{N}$ ($m$ may be equal to $l$), $a_m + a_l \not\in \{b_n\}_{n=1}^\infty$?

Torus $\mathcal T$ is the surface produced by revolving a circle with radius $3$ around an axis in the plane a distance $6$ from the center of the circle. When a sphere of radius $11$ rests inside $\mathcal T$, it is internally tangent to $\mathcal T$ along a circle with radius $r_{i}$, and when it rests outside $\mathcal T$, it is externally tangent along a circle with radius $r_{o}$. The difference $r_{i}-r_{o}=\tfrac{m}{n}$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

In chess, there are two types of minor pieces, the bishop and the knight. A bishop may move along a diagonal, as long as there are no pieces obstructing its path. A knight may jump to any lattice square $\sqrt{5}$ away as long as it isn't occupied. One day, a bishop and a knight were on squares in the same row of an infinite chessboard, when a huge meteor storm occurred, placing a meteor in each square on the chessboard independently and randomly with probability $p$. Neither the bishop nor the knight were hit, but their movement may have been obstructed by the meteors. The value of $p$ that would make the expected number of valid squares that the bishop can move to and the number of squares that the knight can move to equal can be expressed as $\frac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b$. Compute $100a + b$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
