Question 3
Let T = TNFTPP. When properly sorted, T - 35 math books on a shelf are arranged in alphabetical
order from left to right. An eager student checked out and read all of them. Unfortunately, the
student did not realize how the books were sorted, and so after finishing the student put the books
back on the shelf in a random order. If all arrangements are equally likely, the probability that
exactly 6 of the books were returned to their correct (original) position can be expressd as m/n,
where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Compute m + n.

Let T = TNFTPP. As n ranges over the integers, the expression n4 - 898n² + T - 2160 evaluates to
just one prime number. Find this prime.
