3 countries $A, B, C$ participate in a competition where each country has 9 representatives. The rules are as follows: every round of competition is between 1 competitor each from 2 countries. The winner plays in the next round, while the loser is knocked out. The remaining country will then send a representative to take on the winner of the previous round. The competition begins with $A$ and $B$ sending a competitor each. If all competitors from one country have been knocked out, the competition continues between the remaining 2 countries until another country is knocked out. The remaining team is the champion. [b]I.[/b] At least how many games does the champion team win? [b]II.[/b] If the champion team won 11 matches, at least how many matches were played?

Consider a cake in the shape of a circle. It's been divided to some inequal parts by its radii. Arash and Bahram want to eat this cake. At the very first, Arash takes one of the parts. In the next steps, they consecutively pick up a piece adjacent to another piece formerly removed. Suppose that the cake has been divided to 5 parts. Prove that Arash can choose his pieces in such a way at least half of the cake is his.

Leaving his house at noon, Jim walks at a constant rate of $4$ miles per hour along a $4$ mile square route returning to his house at $1$ PM. At a randomly chosen time between noon and $1$ PM, Sally chooses a random location along Jim's route and begins running at a constant rate of $7$ miles per hour along Jim's route in the same direction that Jim is walking until she completes one $4$ mile circuit of the square route. The probability that Sally runs past Jim while he is walking is given by $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.
