  23. A rectangular grid of squares has 141141 rows and 9191 columns. Each square has room for two numbers. Horace and Vera each fill in the grid by putting the numbers from 11 through 141×91=12,831141 \times 91 = 12{,}831 into the squares. Horace fills the grid horizontally: he puts 11 through 9191 in order from left to right into row 1,1, puts 9292 through 182182 into row 22 in order from left to right, and continues similarly through row 141.141. Vera fills the grid vertically: she puts 11 through 141141 in order from top to bottom into column 1,1, then 142142 through 282282 into column 22 in order from top to bottom, and continues similarly through column 91.91. How many squares get two copies of the same number?
  24. A frog hops along the number line according to the following rules. It starts at 0.0. If it is at 0,0, then it moves to 11 with probability 12\tfrac12 and it disappears with probability 12.\tfrac12. For n=1,n = 1, 2,2, or 3,3, if it is at n,n, then it moves to n+1n + 1 with probability 14,\tfrac14, it moves to n−1n - 1 with probability 14,\tfrac14, and it disappears with probability 12.\tfrac12. What is the probability that the frog reaches 4?4?
  25. Square ABCDABCD has sides of length 4.4. Points PP and QQ lie on AD‾\overline{AD} and CD‾,\overline{CD}, respectively, with AP=85AP = \tfrac{8}{5} and DQ=103.DQ = \tfrac{10}{3}. A path begins along the line segment from PP to QQ and continues by reflecting against the sides of ABCDABCD (with congruent incoming and outgoing angles), as shown in the figure. If the path hits a vertex of the square, then it terminates there; otherwise it continues forever. At which vertex does the path terminate?
