A right circular cone has base radius and height . The cone lies on its side on a flat table. As the cone rolls on the surface of the table without slipping, the point where the cone's base meets the table traces a circular arc centered at the point where the vertex touches the table. The cone first returns to its original position on the table after making complete rotations.

On a long straight stretch of one-way single-lane highway, cars all travel at the same speed and all obey the safety rule: the distance from the back of the car ahead to the front of the car behind is exactly one car length for each 15 kilometers per hour of speed or fraction thereof (Thus the front of a car traveling 52 kilometers per hour will be four car lengths behind the back of the car in front of it.)

Assuming that each car is 4 meters long and that the cars can travel at any speed, let be the maximum whole number of cars that can pass the photoelectric eye in one hour.

A square piece of paper has sides of length . From each corner a wedge is cut in the following manner: at each corner, the two cuts for the wedge each start at distance from the corner, and they meet on the diagonal at an angle of (see the figure below). The paper is then folded up along the lines joining the vertices of adjacent cuts. When the two edges of a cut meet, they are taped together. The result is a paper tray whose sides are not at right angles to the base. The height of the tray, that is, the perpendicular distance between the plane of the base and the plane formed by the upper edges, can be written in the form , where and are positive integers, , and is not divisible by the th power of any prime.

For any point , let the probability that the frog lands on lily pad be . The frog can land at lily pad with either a double jump from lily pad or a single jump from lily pad . Since the probability when the frog is at to make a double jump is and same for when it's at , the recursion is just . Using the fact that , and , we find that .

We can solve this without finding the amount of cases. Notice when we roll a 1 or a 4, it does not affect whether or not the product is a square number. We have a 1/3 chance of rolling either a 1 or 4. We have a 2/3 chance of rolling a 2,3,5 or 6. Lets call rolling 1 or 4 rolling a dud.
Probability of rolling 4 duds:
Probability of rolling 3 duds:
Probability of rolling 2 duds:
Probability of rolling 1 dud:
Probability of rolling 0 duds:
Now we will find the probability of a square product given we have rolled each amount of duds
Probability of getting a square product given 4 duds: 1
Probability of getting a square product given 3 duds: 0 (you will have 1 non-dud and that's never going to be square)
Probability of getting a square product given 2 duds: (as long as our two non-duds are the same, our product will be square)
Probability of getting a square product given 1 duds: = (the only way to have a square product is rolling a 2,3 and 6. There are 3! ways of doing that and a total of ways to roll 3 non-duds).
Probability of getting a square product given 0 duds: = (We can have any two non-duds twice. For example, 2,2,5,5. There are ways of choosing which two non-duds to use and ways of choosing how to arrange those 4 numbers. That gives us 6*6=36 combinations. We can also have 2,2,2,2 or 3,3,3,3 or 5,5,5,5 or 6,6,6,6. This gives us a total of 40 combinations).
We multiply each probability of rolling k duds with the probability of getting a square product given k duds and then sum all the values.

Note that rolling a 1/4 will not affect whether or not the product is a perfect square. This means that in order for the product to be a perfect square, all non 1/4 numbers rolled must come in pairs, with the only exception being the triplet 2,3, 6. Now we can do casework:
If there are four 1/4's, then there are combinations. If there are three 1/4's, then there are 0 combinations, because the fourth number isn't a square. If there are two 1/4's, there are ways to choose the two 1/4's, 4 ways to choose the remaining pair of numbers, and ways to arrange, so there are combinations for this case. If there is one 1/4, then there are 2 ways to choose whether it is a 1 or 4, and the remaining three numbers must be 2, 3, and 6, so there are ways to order, meaning there are combinations for this case. Our final case is if there are no 1/4's, in which case we must have two pairs. If the two pairs are of different numbers, then there to choose the numbers and ways to arrange them, so . If all four numbers are the same there are combinations, so there are combinations for this case.
Hence there are combinations where the product of the dice is a perfect square, and there are total combinations, so the desired probability is , yielding an answer os .

There are total ways to let everyone sit. However this may lead to advisors sitting in the same chair, leading to awkward situations. So we find how many ways this happens. There are 6 ways to choose which advisors end up sitting together, times 12 ways to find neighboring even seats and sitting down, 12 ways for the rest of the ambassador to sit, and 4 ways for their advisors to sit to get 3456 ways for this to happen. However we overcounted the case when two pairs of advisors run out of room to sit, where there are ways to happen. So 5760-3456+216=.

Instead of considering the actual values of the areas, consider only the changes in the areas that result from moving point from the center of the circle. We will proceed by coordinates. Set the origin at the center of the circle and refer to the following diagram. Note that the area bounded by and the arc is fixed, so we only need to consider the relevant triangles.
Define one arbitrary unit as the distance that you need to move from to change the area of by . We can see that was moved down by units to make the area defined by , , and . Similarly, was moved right by to make the area defined by , , and . This means that has coordinates .
Now, we need to consider how this displacement in affected the area defined by , , and . This is equivalent to finding the shortest distance between and the blue line in the diagram (as and the blue line represents while is fixed). Using an isosceles right triangle, one can find the that shortest distance between and this line is .
Remembering the definition of our unit, this yields a final area of

We see that and , but 92 cannot be formed, so there are no solutions for this case. If , then we can just ignore since it is a multiple of 5, meaning that the Chicken McNuggest theorem is a both necessary and sufficient condition, and it states that meaning and .
