Let ABE \triangle ABE be a triangle with AB3=BE4=EA5 \frac{AB}{3} = \frac{BE}{4} = \frac{EA}{5} . Let DA D \neq A be on line AE \overline{AE} such that AE=ED AE = ED and D D is closer to E E than to A A . Moreover, let C C be a point such that BCDE BCDE is a parallelogram. Furthermore, let M M be on line CD \overline{CD} such that AM \overline{AM} bisects BAE \angle BAE , and let P P be the intersection of AM \overline{AM} and BE \overline{BE} . Compute the ratio of PM PM to the perimeter of ABE \triangle ABE .

At a party, 20192019 people decide to form teams of three. To do so, each turn, every person not on a team points to one other person at random. If three people point to each other (that is, AA points to BB, BB points to CC, and CC points to AA), then they form a team. What is the probability that after 65,53665, 536 turns, exactly one person is not on a team
