An urn contains one red ball and one blue ball. A box of extra red and blue balls lie nearby. George performs the following operation four times: he draws a ball from the urn at random and then takes a ball of the same color from the box and returns those two matching balls to the urn. After the four iterations the urn contains six balls. What is the probability that the urn contains three balls of each color? $\textbf{(A) } \frac16 \qquad \textbf{(B) }\frac15 \qquad \textbf{(C) } \frac14 \qquad \textbf{(D) } \frac13 \qquad \textbf{(E) } \frac12$

Then the bee chooses an unpainted point and paints it red and then the fly chooses an unpainted one and paints it blue and so they alternate. If at the end of the game there is an equilateral triangle with red vertices, the bee wins, otherwise Otherwise the fly wins. Determine which of the two insects has a winning strategy.

The following method of approximate measurement is known for distances. Suppose, for example, that the observer is on the river bank at point $C$ in order to measure its width. To do this, he fixes point $A$ on the opposite bank so that the angle between the shoreline and the line $CA$ is close to the line. Then the observer pulls forward the right hand with the raised thumb, closes left eye and aligns the raised finger with point $A$. Next, opens the left eye, closes right and estimates the distance between the point on the opposite bank to which the finger points, and point $A$. Multiply this distance by $10$ and get the approximate value of the distance to point $A$, ie the width of the river. Justify this method of measuring distance. [hide=original wording]Відомий наступний спосіб наближеного вимірювання відстані. Нехай, наприклад, спостерігач знаходиться на березі річки у точці C і має на меті виміряти її ширину. Для цього він фіксує точку A на протилежному березі так, щоб кут між лінією берега і прямою CA був близьким до прямого. Потім спостерігач витягує вперед праву руку з піднятим вгору великим пальцем, заплющує ліве око і суміщає піднятий палець з точкою A. Далі, відкриває ліве око, заплющує праве і оцінює відстань між точкою на протилежному березі, на яку вказує палець, і точкою A. Цю відстань множить на 10 і отримує наближене значення відстані до точки A, тобто ширини річки. Обґрунтуйте цей спосіб вимірювання відстані.[/hide]

Each of the integers from $1$ to $n$ is written on a separate card, and then the cards are combined into a deck and shuffled. Three players, $A,B,$ and $C,$ take turns in the order $A,B,C,A,\dots$ choosing one card at random from the deck. (Each card in the deck is equally likely to be chosen.) After a card is chosen, that card and all higher-numbered cards are removed from the deck, and the remaining cards are reshuffled before the next turn. Play continues until one of the three players wins the game by drawing the card numbered $1.$ Show that for each of the three players, there are arbitrarily large values of $n$ for which that player has the highest probability among the three players of winning the game.

It is election year in PUMACland, and for the presidential election there are $27$ people voting for either Vraj Patel or Vedant Shah. Each voter selects a candidate uniformly at random, and their ballots are labeled $1$ through $27.$ The election takes place as a series of rounds. In each round, the surviving ballots are sorted by label and separated into consecutive groups of three. From each group, the person with the most votes wins, and exactly one of the ballots bearing the winner’s name is allowed to proceed to the next round. This procedure continues until a single ballot remains, and the person whose name is on the ballot wins. Alice, Bob, and Carol submitted ballots numbered $1, 15,$ and $27,$ respectively. Suppose that Alice, Bob, and Carol had all flipped their votes. If the probability that the outcome of the election would have changed is $\tfrac{a}{b}$ for relatively prime positive integers $a, b,$ find $a + b.$
