Fiona the frog starts on pad 0, and from any given lily pad, has a chance to hop to the next pad, and an equal chance to jump 2 pads. What is the probability that Fiona reaches pad 10 without landing on either pad 3 or pad 6?

Square pyramid ABCDE has base ABCD which measures 3 cm on a side, and altitude perpendicular to the base, which measures 6 cm. Point P lies on
one third of the way from B to E; point Q lies on
one third of the way from D to E and point R lies on

Problem 19
Raashan, Sylvia, and Ted play the following game. Each starts with $1. A bell rings every 15 seconds, at which time each of the players who currently have money simultaneously chooses one of the other two players independently and at random and gives $1 to that player. What is the probability that after the bell has rung 2019 times, each player will have $1? (For example, Raashan and Ted may each decide to give $1 to Sylvia, and Sylvia may decide to give her her dollar to Ted, at which point Raashan will have $0, Sylvia will have $2, and Ted will have $1, and that is the end of the first round of play. In the second round Rashaan has no money to give, but Sylvia and Ted might choose each other to give their $1 to, and the holdings will be the same at the end of the second round.)
