In a moment of impaired thought, Joe decides he wants to dress up as a member of NSYNC for his school Halloween party that night. If he dresses up as JC Chasez, he has a probability of $25\%$ of getting beat up at the party. If he dresses up as Justin Timberlake, he has a $60\%$ probability of getting beat up at the party. If he dresses up as any other member of NSYNC, he won’t get beat up because no one will recognize his costume. If there is an equal probability of him dressing up as any of the $5$ NSYNC members, what is the probability he will get beat up at the Halloween party?

A game starts with four heaps of beans, containing 3, 4, 5 and 6 beans. The two players move alternately. A move consists of taking [list]
(a) $\text{either}$ one bean from a heap, provided at least two beans are left behind in that heap,
(b) $\text{or}$ a complete heap of two or three beans.[/list]
The player who takes the last heap wins. To win the game, do you want to move first or second? Give a winning strategy.

My frisbee group often calls "best of five" to finish our games when it's getting dark, since we don't keep score. The game ends after one of the two teams scores three points (total, not necessarily consecutive). If every possible sequence of scores is equally likely, what is the expected score of the losing team?

Ding and Jianing are playing a game. In this game, they use pieces of paper with $2014$ positions, in which some permutation of the numbers $1, 2, \dots, 2014$ are to be written. (Each number will be written exactly once). Ding fills in a piece of paper first. How many pieces of paper must Jianing fill in to ensure that at least one of her pieces of paper will have a permutation that has the same number as Ding’s in at least one position?

Given three congruent rectangles in the space. Their centers coincide, but the planes they lie in are mutually perpendicular. For any two of the three rectangles, the line of intersection of the planes of these two rectangles contains one midparallel of one rectangle and one midparallel of the other rectangle, and these two midparallels have different lengths. Consider the convex polyhedron whose vertices are the vertices of the rectangles.

The vertices of a right triangle $ABC$ inscribed in a circle divide the circumference into three arcs. The right angle is at $A$, so that the opposite arc $BC$ is a semicircle while arc $BC$ and arc $AC$ are supplementary. To each of three arcs, we draw a tangent such that its point of tangency is the mid point of that portion of the tangent intercepted by the extended lines $AB,AC$. More precisely, the point $D$ on arc $BC$ is the midpoint of the segment joining the points $D'$ and $D''$ where tangent at $D$ intersects the extended lines $AB,AC$. Similarly for $E$ on arc $AC$ and $F$ on arc $AB$. Prove that triangle $DEF$ is equilateral.
