Equilateral triangle $T_0$ with side length $3$ is on a plane. Given triangle $T_n$ on the plane, triangle $T_{n+1}$ is constructed on the plane by translating $T_n$ by $1$ unit, in one of six directions parallel to one of the sides of $T_n$. The direction is chosen uniformly at random.
Let $a$ be the least integer such that at most one point on the plane is in or on all of $T_0, T_1, T_2, \ldots, T_a$. It can be shown that $a$ exists with probability $1$. Find the probability that $a$ is even.

Initially, a non-constant polynomial $S(x)$ with real coefficients is written down on a board. Whenever the board contains a polynomial $P(x)$, not necessarily alone, one can write down on the board any polynomial of the form $P(C + x)$ or $C + P(x)$ where $C$ is a real constant. Moreover, if the board contains two (not necessarily distinct) polynomials $P(x)$ and $Q(x)$, one can write $P(Q(x))$ and $P(x) + Q(x)$ down on the board. No polynomial is ever erased from the board.
Given two sets of real numbers, $A = \{ a_1, a_2, \dots, a_n \}$ and $B = \{ b_1, \dots, b_n \}$, a polynomial $f(x)$ with real coefficients is $(A,B)$-[i]nice[/i] if $f(A) = B$, where $f(A) = \{ f(a_i) : i = 1, 2, \dots, n \}$.
Determine all polynomials $S(x)$ that can initially be written down on the board such that, for any two finite sets $A$ and $B$ of real numbers, with $|A| = |B|$, one can produce an $(A,B)$-[i]nice[/i] polynomial in a finite number of steps.

Let triangle $ABC$ have $\angle BAC = 45^{\circ}$ and circumcircle $\Gamma$ and let $M$ be the intersection of the angle bisector of $\angle BAC$ with $\Gamma$. Let $\Omega$ be the circle tangent to segments $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ and internally tangent to $\Gamma$ at point $T$. Given that $\angle TMA = 45^{\circ}$ and that $TM = \sqrt{100 - 50 \sqrt{2}}$, the length of $BC$ can be written as $a \sqrt{b}$, where $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $a + b$.

Given a $24 \times 24$ square grid, initially all its unit squares are coloured white. A move consists of choosing a row, or a column, and changing the colours of all its unit squares, from white to black, and from black to white. Is it possible that after finitely many moves, the square grid contains exactly $574$ black unit squares?
