Problem 3.5. On Misha’s new phone, a passlock consists of six circles arranged in a
2 × 3 rectangle. The lock is opened by a continuous path connecting the six circles; the
path cannot pass through a circle on the way between two others (e.g. the top left and
right circles cannot be adjacent). For example, the left path shown below is allowed but
the right path is not. (Paths are considered to be oriented, so that a path starting at A
and ending at B is different from a path starting at B and ending at A. However, in
the diagrams below, the paths are valid/invalid regardless of orientation.) If J many
passlocks are there consisting of all six circles. Find remainder when J is divided by 41.

and cannot be eaten. Let M be the maximal number of mooncakes she can eat, and let
n be the number of ways she can pick M mooncakes to eat (Note: the order in which
she picks mooncakes does not matter). Compute the remainder when M + n is divided
