For p^2 - 1 to not be a multiple of 6 indicates that it does not simultaneously satisfy being congruent to 0 mod 2 and mod 3. For prime p > 3, we typically have p^2 ≡ 1 (mod 6), hence p^2 - 1 is 0 mod 6. This constraint is inconsistent for p = 3, where p^2 - 1 = 8 (not 0 mod 6), and similarly for p = 2 .

This challenge arises from ensuring divisibility by distinct conditions of each digit, requiring separate divisibility rules for 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. Each permutation must be cross-checked with the respective divisibility constraint tied to the potential last digit. Analyzing factors of digit rearrangements demands comprehensive checks .

To solve for integer n such that n^2 - 2n - 120 is a prime, substitute n in factorable terms and check for prime outputs. Complete the square and solve n^2 - 2n = 121, resulting in n=11, which gives p=1, a prime. Checking within integer factors of 120 constrained by prime results of p > 0 will yield the potential n values .

The task is to find n such that the decimal representation of 1/n has a preperiod plus period of 8. This requires analyzing reciprocal cycles and detecting patterns in periodicity when reduced or expanded through prime factor examination. Researching known cycles among relatively simple fractions helps identify n=125 .

Vivienne can choose one English course out of 5, and two additional courses from 7 options (4 math and 3 CS courses). The number of ways to select one English course is 5, and the number of combinations for choosing two out of seven is given by C(7, 2) = 21. Therefore, the total number of ways is 5 * 21 = 105 .

Anton needs to spend an amount that is a multiple of 10 while each bottle costs 14 dollars. Let x be the number of bottles he buys. Then 14x should be a multiple of 10. The smallest x that satisfies 14x ≡ 0 (mod 10) is x = 5, as 14*5 = 70, which is a multiple of 10 .

Points E and F divide BC and DA proportionally. Using transformation geometry and relative similar segments among overlapping squares, translate to potential area formulations based on G's inside positioning, yielding identified integer relation and valid area as 2/7, leading to m+n=9 .

With AD ⊥ BC and BD=3AD implies specific area conditions. Use known triangle area formula: 15 = (1/2) * BC * AD, and solve the geometric relations, reducing AC^2 using specific relation to p√q - r. Solving geometrically and arithmetically refines this complex outcome .

To calculate this probability, consider the sample space for three coin flips: {HHH, HHT, HTH, HTT, THH, THT, TTH, TTT}. The sequences where the first and last outcomes are the same are HHH, HHT, TTH, and TTT. Thus, the probability is 4/8 = 1/2, where m = 1 and n = 2, so m+n = 3 .

The area of the triangle is calculated using the formula for the area of a right triangle, which is (1/2) * base * height. Here, the side lengths 6 and 8 are the base and height, respectively, so the area is (1/2) * 6 * 8 = 24 .
