[b]p29.[/b] Sebastian is playing the game Split! again, but this time in a three dimensional coordinate system. He begins the game with one token at $(0, 0, 0)$. For each move, he is allowed to select a token on any point $(x, y, z)$ and take it off, replacing it with three tokens, one at $(x + 1, y, z)$, one at $(x, y + 1, z)$, and one at $(x, y, z + 1)$ At the end of the game, for a token on $(a, b, c)$, it is assigned a score $\frac{1}{2^{a+b+c}}$ . These scores are summed for his total score. If the highest total score Sebastian can get in $100$ moves is $m/n$, then determine $m + n$.

[b]p32.[/b] Farmer Will is considering where to build his house in the Cartesian coordinate plane. He wants to build his house on the line $y = x$, but he also has to minimize his travel time for his daily trip to his barnhouse at $(24, 15)$ and back. From his house, he must first travel to the river at $y = 2$ to fetch water for his animals. Then, he heads for his barnhouse, and promptly leaves for the long strip mall at the line $y =\sqrt3 x$ for groceries, before heading home. If he decides to build his house at $(x_0, y_0)$ such that the distance he must travel is minimized, $x_0$ can be written in the form $\frac{a\sqrt{b}-c}{d}$ , where $a, b, c, d$ are positive integers, $b$ is not divisible by the square of a prime, and $gcd(a, c, d) = 1$. Compute $a+b+c+d$.

[b]p34.[/b] The “Collatz sequence” of a positive integer n is the longest sequence of distinct integers $(x_i)_{i\ge 0}$ with $x_0 = n$ and $$x_{n+1} =\begin{cases} \frac{x_n}{2} & if \,\, x_n \,\, is \,\, even \\ 3x_n + 1 & if \,\, x_n \,\, is \,\, odd \end{cases}.$$ It is conjectured that all Collatz sequences have a finite number of elements, terminating at $1$. This has been confirmed via computer program for all numbers up to $2^{64}$. There is a unique positive integer $n < 10^9$ such that its Collatz sequence is longer than the Collatz sequence of any other positive integer less than $10^9$. What is this integer $n$?

[b]p35.[/b] We define a graph $G$ as a set $V (G)$ of vertices and a set $E(G)$ of distinct edges connecting those vertices. A graph $H$ is a subgraph of $G$ if the vertex set $V (H)$ is a subset of $V (G)$ and the edge set $E(H)$ is a subset of $E(G)$. Let $ex(k, H)$ denote the maximum number of edges in a graph with $k$ vertices without a subgraph of $H$. If $K_i$ denotes a complete graph on $i$ vertices, that is, a graph with $i$ vertices and all ${i \choose 2}$ edges between them present, determine $$n =\sum_{i=2}^{2018} ex(2018, K_i).$$
