You attempt a trick shot by striking the cue ball below its center of mass, aiming away from the striped ball. Your hope is to give the cue ball enough backspin so that it will return and knock the striped ball into the corner pocket.
How can you guarantee that the cue ball will always return to hit the striped ball into the corner?

A fox moving at a constant speed of s m/s wants to eat a duck that is swimming at 1 m/s in a pond. The duck can only fly when he’s on land, and the fox can’t swim.
What is the maximal value of s such that wherever the animals start, the duck can reach land without being caught by the fox?

A single domino is a rectangular tile divided into two square ends marked with spots. A domino set of order n consists of all the domino tile combinations with spot counts from 0 to n inclusive.
T(n) is the sum of the totals of the two spot counts on each tile in the domino set of order n, and P(n) is the sum of the products of the two spot counts on each tile in the domino set of order n.
For example, a domino set of order 2 would consist of the domino tiles with numbers (0,0), (0,1), (0,2), (1,1), (1,2), (2,2), such that T(2)P(2)=(0+0)+(0+1)+(0+2)+(1+1)+(1+2)+(2+2)=12=(0⋅0)+(0⋅1)+(0⋅2)+(1⋅1)+(1⋅2)+(2⋅2)=7. What is n→∞limP(n)nT(n)?
