Garfield and Odie are situated at $(0,0)$ and $(25,0)$ , respectively. Suddenly, Garfield and Odie dash in the direction of the point $(9, 12)$ at speeds of $7$ and $10$ units per minute, respectively. During this chase, the minimum distance between Garfield and Odie can be written as $\frac{m}{\sqrt{n}}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$ . Find $m+n$ . *Proposed by **Th3Numb3rThr33***

Two football teams, A and B, play two friendly matches. For a win, a team earns 2 points. For a draw, a team earns 1 point. For a loss, a team earns 0 points. The probability of a draw in each match is the same and is equal to $p$. The following year, a similar set of two friendlies took place. The teams played with the same lineup and were still of equal strength, but the probability $p$ of a draw increased. Can it be asserted that the probability of the teams acquiring an equal number of points has increased?

Consider a string of $n$ $7$'s, $7777\cdots77,$ into which $+$ signs are inserted to produce an arithmetic expression. For example, $7+77+777+7+7=875$ could be obtained from eight $7$'s in this way. For how many values of $n$ is it possible to insert $+$ signs so that the resulting expression has value $7000$?

The telephone company "Prosto-Telecom" in Prostokvashino uses three-digit phone numbers. The equipment is old, so there may be errors in individual digits of the transmitted subscriber number — each digit can be independently replaced by another random digit with a probability of $p=0.02$. To reduce the likelihood of incorrect connections, the company uses the following rule: the first digit of the number must always be the remainder when the sum of the other two digits is divided by 10. For example, the numbers 000 and 156 are possible, but the number 234 is not. If the check digit is incorrect during the connection, an error message is issued. Find the probability that, despite the measures taken, an incorrect connection will occur.

There are 11 of the number 1, 22 of the number 2, 33 of the number 3, and 44 of the number 4 on the blackboard. The following operation is performed: each time, three different numbers are erased, and the fourth number, which is not erased, is written 2 extra times. For example, if 1 of 1, 1 of 2, and 1 of 3 are erased, then 2 more of 4 are written. After several operations, there are only 3 numbers left on the blackboard, and no further operations can be performed. What is the product of the last three remaining numbers?
