Two real numbers $x, y$ are chosen randomly and independently on the interval $(1, r)$ where $r$ is some real number between $1024$ and $2048$. Let $P$ be the probability that $\lfloor \log_2x \rfloor > \lfloor \log_2y \rfloor .$ The value of $P$ is maximized when $r = \frac{p}{q}$ where $p,q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q.$

In the five-sided star shown, the letters $A,B,C,D,$ and $E$ are replaced by the numbers $3,5,6,7,$ and $9$, although not necessarily in this order. The sums of the numbers at the ends of the line segments $\overline{AB}$,$\overline{BC}$,$\overline{CD}$,$\overline{DE}$, and $\overline{EA}$ form an arithmetic sequence, although not necessarily in this order. What is the middle term of the arithmetic sequence?

Compute the number of permutations of $\{1,2,3\}$ with the property that there is some number that can be removed such that the remaining numbers are in increasing order. For example, $(2,1,3)$ has this property because removing $1$ leaves $(2,3)$, which is in increasing order.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. A [i]Japanese triangle[/i] consists of $1 + 2 + \dots + n$ circles arranged in an equilateral triangular shape such that for each $i = 1$, $2$, $\dots$, $n$, the $i^{th}$ row contains exactly $i$ circles, exactly one of which is coloured red. A [i]ninja path[/i] in a Japanese triangle is a sequence of $n$ circles obtained by starting in the top row, then repeatedly going from a circle to one of the two circles immediately below it and finishing in the bottom row. Here is an example of a Japanese triangle with $n = 6$, along with a ninja path in that triangle containing two red circles.

\[Q(x) = P(x^n) \cdot \frac{(x^{mn} - 1)(x-1)}{(x^m-1)(x^n-1)}\]
