Let $ABC$ be a triangle with sides 3, 4, and 5, and $DEFG$ be a 6-by-7 rectangle. A segment is drawn to divide triangle $ABC$ into a triangle $U_1$ and a trapezoid $V_1$ and another segment is drawn to divide rectangle $DEFG$ into a triangle $U_2$ and a trapezoid $V_2$ such that $U_1$ is similar to $U_2$ and $V_1$ is similar to $V_2$. The minimum value of the area of $U_1$ can be written in the form $m/n$, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$.

Chandler the Octopus along with his friends Maisy the Bear and Jeff the Frog are solving LMT problems. It takes Maisy $3$ minutes to solve a problem, Chandler $4$ minutes to solve a problem and Jeff $5$ minutes to solve a problem. They start at $12:00$ pm, and Chandler has a dentist appointment from $12:10$ pm to $12:30$, after which he comes back and continues solving LMT problems. The time it will take for them to finish solving $50$ LMT problems, in hours, is $m/n$ ,where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m +n$.

Two (not necessarily different) numbers are chosen independently and at random from $\{1, 2, 3, \dots, 10\}$. On average, what is the product of the two integers? (Compute the expected product. That is, if you do this over and over again, what will the product of the integers be on average?)

Let $ABC$ be an acute-angled triangle with $\angle BAC = 60^{\circ}$ and with incenter $I$ and circumcenter $O$. Let $H$ be the point diametrically opposite(antipode) to $O$ in the circumcircle of $\triangle BOC$. Prove that $IH=BI+IC$.
Four sages stand around a non-transparent baobab. Each of the sages wears red, blue, or green hat. A sage sees only his two neighbors. Each of them at the same time must make a guess about the color of his hat. If at least one sage guesses correctly, the sages win. They could consult before the game started. How should they act to win?

For every natural number $n\geq{2}$ consider the following affirmation $P_n$:
"Consider a polynomial $P(X)$ (of degree $n$) with real coefficients. If its derivative $P'(X)$ has $n-1$ distinct real roots, then there is a real number $C$ such that the equation $P(x)=C$ has $n$ real,distinct roots."
