\frac{2}{\log_4 2000^6} + \frac{3}{\log_5 2000^6}
$$ can be written as $\frac{m}{n},$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n.$

A point whose coordinates are both integers is called a lattice point. How many lattice points lie on the hyperbola $x^2 - y^2 = 2000^2?$

A deck of forty cards consists of four $1$’s, four $2$’s, $\ldots,$ and four $10$’s. A matching pair (two cards with the same number) is removed from the deck. Given that these cards are not returned to the deck, let $\frac{m}{n}$ be the probability that two randomly selected cards also form a pair, where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n.$

What is the smallest positive integer with six positive odd integer divisors and twelve positive even integer divisors?

Given eight distinguishable rings, let $n$ be the number of possible five-ring arrangements on the four fingers (not the thumb) of one hand. The order of rings on each finger is significant, but it is not required that each finger have a ring. Find the leftmost three nonzero digits of $n.$

One base of a trapezoid is $100$ units longer than the other base. The segment that joins the midpoints of the legs divides the trapezoid into two regions whose areas are in the ratio $2 : 3.$ Let $x$ be the length of the segment joining the legs of the trapezoid that is parallel to the bases and that divides the trapezoid into two regions of equal area. Find the greatest integer that does not exceed $\frac{x^2}{100}.$

The coordinates of the vertices of isosceles trapezoid $ABCD$ are all integers, with $A = (20, 100)$ and $D = (21, 107).$ The trapezoid has no horizontal or vertical sides, and $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{CD}$ are the only parallel sides.

Every positive integer $k$ has a unique factorial base expansion $(f_1, f_2, f_3, \ldots, f_m),$ meaning that $k = 1! \cdot f_1 + 2! \cdot f_2$ $+ 3! \cdot f_3 + \cdots + m! \cdot f_m,$ where each $f_i$ is an integer, $0 \le f_i \le i,$ and $0 \lt f_m.$ Given that $(f_1, f_2, f_3, \ldots, f_j)$ is the factorial base expansion of $$
\begin{aligned} &16! - 32! + 48! \\ &\quad {}- 64! + \cdots + 1968! \\ &\quad {}- 1984! + 2000!, \end{aligned}

Each of two boxes contains both black and white marbles, and the total number of marbles in the two boxes is $25.$ One marble is taken out of each box randomly.
