Initially Alex, Betty, and Charlie had a total of $444$ peanuts. Charlie had the most peanuts, and Alex had the least. The three numbers of peanuts that each person had formed a geometric progression. Alex eats $5$ of his peanuts, Betty eats $9$ of her peanuts, and Charlie eats $25$ of his peanuts. Now the three numbers of peanuts each person has forms an arithmetic progression. Find the number of peanuts Alex had initially.

There is a $40\%$ chance of rain on Saturday and a $30\%$ chance of rain on Sunday. However, it is twice as likely to rain on Sunday if it rains on Saturday than if it does not rain on Saturday. The probability that it rains at least one day this weekend is $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a+b$.

Let $x,y,$ and $z$ be real numbers satisfying the system $\log_2(xyz-3+\log_5 x)=5$ $\log_3(xyz-3+\log_5 y)=4$ $\log_4(xyz-3+\log_5 z)=4$ Find the value of $|\log_5 x|+|\log_5 y|+|\log_5 z|$.
