We define \[d(x,y) = \left | \{ i\in \{1,2,\dots, n \} \bigm | x_i \neq y_i \} \right |\] for $T=\{ (x_1, x_2, \dots, x_n) \bigm | x_i \in \{0,1\}, i=1,2,\dots, n \}$ and $x=(x_1,x_2,\dots, x_n), y=(y_1, y_2, \dots, y_n) \in T$.

Jan rolls a fair six-sided die and calls the result $r$. Then, he picks real numbers $a$ and $b$ between 0 and 1 uniformly at random and independently. If the probability that the polynomial $\tfrac{x^2}{r} - x\sqrt{a} + b$ has a real root can be expressed as simplified fraction $\frac{p}{q}$, find $p$. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the number of ordered triples $(a,b,c)$ such that $a$, $b$, and $c$ are distinct positive integers and $a + b + c = T$.

Let $ \mathbb{Q}$ and $ \mathbb{R}$ be the set of rational numbers and the set of real numbers, respectively, and let $ f : \mathbb{Q} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ be a function with the following property. For every $ h \in \mathbb{Q} , \;x_0 \in \mathbb{R}$, \[ f(x\plus{}h)\minus{}f(x) \rightarrow 0\] as $ x \in \mathbb{Q}$ tends to $ x_0$. Does it follow that $ f$ is bounded on some interval? [i]M.

A certain calculator has only two keys [+1] and [x2]. When you press one of the keys, the calculator automatically displays the result. For instance, if the calculator originally displayed "9" and you pressed [+1], it would display "10." If you then pressed [x2], it would display "20." Starting with the display "1," what is the fewest number of keystrokes you would need to reach "200"? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 8\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 9\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 10\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 11\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 12$
