Aethon, Aleksa, Weiqi and Daud love food! They decide to go downtown to get hotpot together, however Aethon’s uber driver takes him to the Pick ‘N’ Save across town instead of to the hotpot place, for some reason. Suppose Pick ‘N’ Save is at the bottom-most left corner (0,0) and the hotpot place is at the topmost right corner (5,5). Aethon’s new uber can move only right or up. The central intersection at (3,3), however, is blocked, so his uber cannot pass through it. How many different shortest paths can Aethon’s uber take to reach hotpot? (a true story btw)

tyler warren hates scibowl but mateo wok convinces him to try it. To wok’s surprise tyler warren is actually very smart. He has an 80% chance of getting a question right and always buzzes faster than wok. When tyler warren gets it wrong, there is a 70% chance wok gets it right. Alex ding has lined up 10 toss-up questions (no bonus questions) for them to try. What is the expected number of points for wok if each toss-up is worth 4 points?

alex ding’s private chef, shane steichen, is making dingus some buttery lobster and juicy steak. Steichen first prepares the 1st attempt of the dish for dingus: a 100% buttery lobster and a 100% juicy steak, but dingus says he can’t handle that amount of butter and juice. For every subsequent attempt (attempt n, where n>=2), steichen reduces the butteriness by (n-1)^2 percent and reduces the juiciness by (n+4) percent. Dingus will only be happy and accept the dish when both the steak juiciness and lobster butteriness are both less than 50%. Which dish attempt will dingus accept?
