In the  $xy$ -coordinate plane, the  $x$ -axis and the line  $y=x$  are mirrors.  If you shoot a laser beam from the point  $(126, 21)$  toward a point on the positive  $x$ -axis, there are  $3$  places you can aim at where the beam will bounce off the mirrors and eventually return to  $(126, 21)$ .  They are  $(126, 0)$ ,  $(105, 0)$ , and a third point  $(d, 0)$ .  What is  $d$ ?  (Recall that when light bounces off a mirror, the angle of incidence has the same measure as the angle of reflection.)

People have long been exploring the numerical solution of high-degree equations. Newton gave a numerical solution method for high-degree algebraic equations in his book "Fluxions." This method for finding the roots of equations has been widely used in the scientific community. For example, to find an approximate solution to the equation $x^{3}+2x^{2}+3x+3=0$, first using the existence theorem of function zeros, let $f\left(x\right)=x^{3}+2x^{2}+3x+3$, $f\left(-2\right)=-3 \lt 0$, $f\left(-1\right)=1 \gt 0$, it is known that there exists a zero on $\left(-2,-1\right)$, take $x_{0}=-1$. Newton used the formula ${x}_{n}={x}_{n-1}-\frac{f({x}_{n-1})}{{f}′({x}_{n-1})}$ for iterative calculation, where $x_{n}$ is taken as an approximate solution to $f\left(x\right)=0$. After two iterations, the approximate solution obtained is ______; starting with the interval $\left(-2,-1\right)$, using the bisection method twice, taking the midpoint value of the last interval as the approximate solution to the equation, the approximate solution is ______.

In a certain business district parking lot, the temporary parking fee is charged by time period. The fee is 6 yuan for each car if the parking duration does not exceed 1 hour, and each additional hour (or a fraction thereof is rounded up to a full hour) costs 8 yuan. It is known that two individuals, A and B, parked in this parking lot for less than 4 hours each.

It is necessary to erect some public welfare billboards on one side of a road. The first billboard is erected at the beginning of the road, and then one billboard is erected every 5 meters, so that exactly one billboard can be erected at the end of the road. In this case, there are 21 billboards missing. If one billboard is erected every 5.5 meters, also exactly one billboard can be erected at the end of the road, in this case, there is only 1 billboard missing. Then, there are     billboards in total, and the length of the road is     meters.

Find the largest possible value of  $m-n$ .**p3.** Six middle school students are sitting in a circle, facing inwards, and doing math problems. There is a stack of nine math problems. A random student picks up the stack and, beginning with himself and proceeding clockwise around the circle, gives one problem to each student in order until the pile is exhausted. Aditya falls asleep and is therefore not the student who picks up the pile, although he still receives problem(s) in turn. If every other student is equally likely to have picked up the stack of problems and Vishwesh is sitting directly to Aditya’s left, what is the probability that Vishwesh receives exactly two problems?**p4.** Paul bakes a pizza in  $15$  minutes if he places it  $2$  feet from the fire. The time the pizza takes to bake is directly proportional to the distance it is from the fire and the rate at which the pizza bakes is constant whenever the distance isn’t changed. Paul puts a pizza  $2$  feet from the fire at  $10:30$ . Later, he makes another pizza, puts it  $2$  feet away from the fire, and moves the first pizza to a distance of  $3$  feet away from the fire instantly. If both pizzas finish baking at the same time, at what time are they both done?**p5.** You have  $n$  coins that are each worth a distinct, positive integer amount of cents. To hitch a ride with Charon, you must pay some unspecified integer amount between  $10$  and  $20$  cents inclusive, and Charon wants exact change paid with exactly two coins. What is the least possible value of  $n$  such that you can be certain of appeasing Charon?**p6.** Let  $a, b$ , and  $c$  be positive integers such that  $gcd(a, b)$ ,  $gcd(b, c)$  and  $gcd(c, a)$  are all greater than  $1$ , but  $gcd(a, b, c) = 1$ . Find the minimum possible value of  $a + b + c$ .**p7.** Let  $ABC$  be a triangle inscribed in a circle with  $AB = 7$ ,  $AC = 9$ , and  $BC = 8$ .
