Mrs. Jones is pouring orange juice for her 4 kids into 4 identical glasses. She fills the first 3 full, but only has enough orange juice to fill one third of the last glass. What fraction of a glass of orange juice does she need to pour from the 3 full glasses into the last glass so that all glasses have an equal amount of orange juice? $\textbf{(A) }\frac{1}{12}\qquad\textbf{(B) }\frac{1}{4}\qquad\textbf{(C) }\frac{1}{6}\qquad\textbf{(D) }\frac{1}{8}\qquad\textbf{(E) }\frac{2}{9}$

Each time you click a toggle switch, the switch either turns from [i]off[/i] to [i]on[/i] or from [i]on[/i] to [i]off[/i]. Suppose that you start with three toggle switches with one of them [i]on[/i] and two of them [i]off[/i]. On each move you randomly select one of the three switches and click it. Let $m$ and $n$ be relatively prime positive integers so that $\frac{m}{n}$ is the probability that after four such clicks, one switch will be [i]on[/i] and two of them will be [i]off[/i]. Find $m+n$.

Mary mixes $2$ gallons of a solution that is $40$ percent alcohol with $3$ gallons of a solution that is $60$ percent alcohol. Sandra mixes $4$ gallons of a solution that is $30$ percent alcohol with $\frac{m}{n}$ gallons of a solution that is $80$ percent alcohol, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Mary and Sandra end up with solutions that are the same percent alcohol. Find $m + n$.

Given a figure $B$ in the plane, consider the figures $A$, containing $\mathcal B$, with the property [i]$(P)$: a composition of an odd number of central symmetries with centers in $A$ is also a central symmetry with center in $A$.[/i] The task of this problem is to determine the smallest such figure, denoted by $\mathcal A$, that is contained in every figure $A$. (a) Determine the figure $\mathcal A$ if $B$ consists of: $(1)$ two distinct points $I,J$; $(2)$ three non-collinear points $I,J,K$. (b) Determine $\mathcal A$ if $B$ is a circle (with nonzero radius). (c) Give some examples of figures $B$ whose associated figures $\mathcal A$ are mutually distinct and distinct from the above ones.

The European zoos with at least two types of species are separated in two groups $\hat{A}$ and $\hat{B}$ in such a way that every pair of zoos $(A,B)$ $(A\in\hat{A}, B\in\hat{B})$ have some animal in common. What is the least $k$ for which we can color the cages in the zoos (each cage only has all animals of one species) such that no zoo has cages of only one color (with every animal across all zoos having to be colored in the same color)? For the maximal value of $k$, find all possibilities (zoos and species), for which this maximum is achieved.
