Define $S(N)$ to be the sum of the digits of $N$ when it is written in base $10$, and take $S^k(N) = S(S(\dots(N)\dots))$ with $k$ applications of $S$. The \textit{stability} of a number $N$ is defined to be the smallest positive integer $K$ where $S^K(N) = S^{K+1}(N) = S^{K+2}(N) = \dots$. Let $T_3$ be the set of all natural numbers with stability $3$. Compute the sum of the two least entries of $T_3$. Proposed by Albert Wang (awang11)

Let $(x,y)$ be the coordinates of a point chosen uniformly at random within the unit square with vertices at $(0,0), (0,1), (1,0),$ and $(1,1).$ The probability that $|x - \tfrac{1}{2}| + |y - \tfrac{1}{2}| < \tfrac{1}{2}$ is $\tfrac{p}{q},$ where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime integers. Find $p + q.$

Let $n$ be a given positive integer. Find the smallest positive integer $k$ for which the following statement is true: for any given simple connected graph $G$ and minimal cuts $V_1, V_2,\ldots, V_n$, at most $k$ vertices can be chosen with the property that picking any two of the chosen vertices there exists an integer $1\le i\le n$ such that $V_i$ separates the two vertices. A partition of the vertices of $G$ into two disjoint non-empty sets is called a [i]minimal cut[/i] if the number of edges crossing the partition is minimal.

Fill up each square of a $50$ by $50$ grid with an integer. Let $G$ be the configuration of $8$ squares obtained by taking a $3$ by $3$ grid and removing the central square. Given that for any such $G$ in the $50$ by $50$ grid, the sum of integers in its squares is positive, show there exist a $2$ by $2$ square such that the sum of its entries is also positive.

Let $N$ be a positive integer. Initially, a positive integer $A$ is written on the board. At each step, we can perform one of the following two operations with the number written on the board: (i) Add $N$ to the number written on the board and replace that number with the sum obtained; (ii) If the number on the board is greater than $1$ and has at least one digit $1$, then we can remove the digit $1$ from that number, and replace the number initially written with this one (with removal of possible leading zeros) For example, if $N = 63$ and $A = 25$, we can do the following sequence of operations: $$25 \rightarrow 88 \rightarrow 151 \rightarrow 51 \rightarrow 5$$ And if $N = 143$ and $A = 2$, we can do the following sequence of operations: $$2 \rightarrow 145 \rightarrow 288 \rightarrow 431 \rightarrow 574 \rightarrow 717 \rightarrow 860 \rightarrow 1003 \rightarrow 3$$ For what values of $N$ is it always possible, regardless of the initial value of $A$ on the blackboard, to obtain the number $1$ on the blackboard, through a finite number of operations?

Let $ z = \frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{2} + i\sqrt{2}) $. The sum $$ \sum_{k = 0}^{13} \dfrac{1}{1 - ze^{k \cdot \frac{i\pi}{7}}} $$ can be written in the form $ a - bi $. Find $ a + b $.
