Fun question for anyone who wants to try and solve it. (Fivethirtyeight. com)
You and your infinitely many friends are sharing a cake, and you come up with two rather bizarre ways of splitting it.
For the first method, Friend 1 takes half of the cake, Friend 2 takes a third of what remains, Friend 3 takes a quarter of what remains after Friend 2, Friend 4 takes a fifth of what remains after Friend 3, and so on. After your infinitely many friends take their respective pieces, you get whatever is left.
For the second method, your friends decide to save you a little more of the take. This time around, Friend 1 takes 1/22 (or one-quarter) of the cake, Friend 2 takes 1/32 (or one-ninth) of what remains, Friend 3 takes 1/42 of what remains after Friend 3, and so on. Again, after your infinitely many friends take their respective pieces, you get whatever is left.
Question 1: How much of the cake do you get using the first method?
Question 2: How much of the cake do you get using the second method?

In a certain pentagon, the interior angles are a,b,c,d,e where a,b,c,d,e are integers strictly less than 180. ("strictly less than 180" means they are "less than and not equal to" 180.) if the median of the interior angles is 61 and there is only one mode, then what are the degree measures of all five angles?
