Let $ABC$ be a triangle with $BC=13, CA=11, AB=10$. Let $A_1$ be the midpoint of $BC$. A variable line $\ell$ passes through $A_1$ and meets $AC,AB$ at $B_1,C_1$. Let $B_2,C_2$ be points with $B_2B=B_2C, B_2C_1\perp AB, C_2B=C_2C, C_2B_1 \perp AC$, and define $P=BB_2\cap CC_2$. Suppose the circles of diameters $BB_2, CC_2$ meet at a point $Q\neq A_1$. Given that $Q$ lies on the same side of line $BC$ as $A$, the minimum possible value of $\dfrac{PB}{PC}+\dfrac{QB}{QC}$ can be expressed in the form $\dfrac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ for positive integers $a,b,c$ with $\gcd (a,c)=1$ and $b$ squarefree. Determine $a+b+c$. [i]Proposed by Vincent Huang[/i]

Observe that \[\frac{1}{1}= \frac{1}{2}+\frac{1}{2};\quad \frac{1}{2}=\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{6};\quad \frac{1}{3}=\frac{1}{4}+\frac{1}{12};\quad \frac{1}{4}= \frac{1}{5}+\frac{1}{20}. \] State a general law suggested by these examples, and prove it. Prove that for any integer $n$ greater than 1 there exist positive integers $i$ and $j$ such that \[\frac{1}{n}= \frac{1}{i(i+1)}+\frac{1}{(i+1)(i+2)}+\frac{1}{(i+2)(i+3)}+\cdots+\frac{1}{j(j+1)}. \] [hide="Remark."] It seems that this is a two-part problem.

In a grid of $100\times 100$ squares, there is a mouse on the top-left square, and there is a piece of cheese in the bottom-right square. The mouse wants to move to the bottom-right square to eat the cheese. For each step, the mouse can move from one square to an adjacent square (two squares are considered adjacent if they share a common edge). Now, any divider can be placed on the common edge of two adjacent squares such that the mouse cannot directly move between these two adjacent squares. A placement of dividers is called "kind" if the mouse can still reach the cheese after the dividers are placed. Find the smallest positive integer $n$ such that, regardless of any "kind" placement of $2023$ dividers, the mouse can reach the cheese in at most $n$ steps.
