The Galactic Journey of Fractions

-
I magine you're on a space mission exploring a newly discovered galaxy, "Fractionus". This galaxy has 5 planets, each with unique environments. Your task is to gather data on these planets. On your journey: Planet Alpha : You collected 1/3 of the needed mineral samples. Planet Beta : You found another 1/4 of the samples. Planet Gamma : You gathered 1/6 of the total samples. Planet Delta : This time, you collected 1/8 of the samples. Planet Epsilon : The final planet, where you managed to collect 1/12 of the samples. Your mission is to calculate the total fraction of mineral samples you collected from all five planets. Did you manage to collect more than half of the samples needed for your research?

The Labyrinth of Linear Equations

-
In a world where paths are determined by equations, you find yourself at the entrance of a labyrinth. The labyrinth is designed as a giant coordinate plane, with the entrance at the origin (0,0). To navigate through, you must follow a path defined by a series of linear equations, each leading to the next until you find the exit. The path is as follows: Start at the origin. Follow the line defined by the equation y=2x+3 until you intersect with the line defined by x=3. At the intersection, turn and follow the line defined by x=3 upwards until you intersect with the line defined by x+6. Once you reach this second intersection, follow the line x+6 to find the exit. Your task is to calculate the coordinates of the exit of the labyrinth.
