Aaron the ant walks on the coordinate plane according to the following rules. He starts at the origin $p_0=(0,0)$ facing to the east and walks one unit, arriving at $p_1=(1,0)$. For $n=1,2,3,\dots$, right after arriving at the point $p_n$, if Aaron can turn $90^\circ$ left and walk one unit to an unvisited point $p_{n+1}$, he does that. Otherwise, he walks one unit straight ahead to reach $p_{n+1}$. Thus the sequence of points continues $p_2=(1,1), p_3=(0,1), p_4=(-1,1), p_5=(-1,0)$, and so on in a counterclockwise spiral pattern. What is $p_{2015}$?

Prove for any positive integer $n$, the fraction $\frac{21n+4}{14n+3}$ cannot be further simplified.
Prove: there exists a rational number $\frac{c}{d}$, where $d<1000$, such that $$\Big[k\cdot\frac{c}{d}\Big]=\Big[k\cdot\frac{73}{100}\Big]$$ holds for every positive integer $k$ that is less than 1000. Here $\Big[x\Big]$ denotes the largest integer that is not exceeding $x$.

Bridget bakes 48 loaves of bread for her bakery. She sells half of them in the morning for $\$ 2.50$ each. In the afternoon she sells two thirds of what she has left, and because they are not fresh, she charges only half price. In the late afternoon she sells the remaining loaves at a dollar each. Each loaf costs $\$ 0.75$ for her to make. In dollars, what is her profit for the day?

A customer who intends to purchase an appliance has three coupons, only one of which may be used:
Coupon 1: $10\%$ off the listed price if the listed price is at least $\$50$
Coupon 2: $\$ 20$ off the listed price if the listed price is at least $\$100$
Coupon 3: $18\%$ off the amount by which the listed price exceeds $\$100$
For which of the following listed prices will coupon $1$ offer a greater price reduction than either coupon $2$ or coupon $3$?
