Danica drove her new car on a trip for a whole number of hours, averaging $55$ miles per hour. At the beginning of the trip, $abc$ miles was displayed on the odometer, where $abc$ is a $3$-digit number with $a \geq{1}$ and $a+b+c \leq{7}$. At the end of the trip, the odometer showed $cba$ miles. What is $a^2+b^2+c^2?$.

A set $\mathbb{S}$ consists of triangles whose sides have integer lengths less than $5$, and no two elements of $\mathbb{S}$ are congruent or similar. What is the largest number of elements that $\mathbb{S}$ can have?

463
Real numbers $a$ and $b$ are chosen with $1 < a < b$ such that no triangle with positive area has side lengths $1$, $a$, and $b$ or $\frac{1}{b}$, $\frac{1}{a}$, and $1$. What is the smallest possible value of $b$?

473

In a small pond there are eleven lily pads in a row labeled $0$ through $10$. A frog is sitting on pad $1$. When the frog is on pad $N$, $0 < N < 10$, it will jump to pad $(N-1)$ with probability $\frac{N}{10}$ and to pad $(N+1)$ with probability $1-\frac{N}{10}$. Each jump is independent of the previous jumps. If the frog reaches pad $0$ it will be eaten by a patiently waiting snake. If the frog reaches pad $10$ it will exit the pond, never to return. What is the probability that the frog will escape without being eaten by the snake?
