Kathryn, for a history project on sports, chronicled the history of college football. When she mentioned that Auburn got cheated out of the NCAA Football championship in the season due to the many flaws in the BCS system, her teacher just couldn’t contain her applause, and awarded an automatic A to her for the rest of the year.

The lecture was so popular, in fact, that many students pressed Kathryn to record the lecture on video and sell DVDs of it.

If the function for Kathryn’s profit for selling DVDs of her college football presentation is , where is Kathryn’s profit and is the price per DVD, what price (in dollars) will maximize her profit?

Find the coefficient of the fourth term of the expansion of .

Joe and Kathryn work part-time jobs at the local mall to make some money for college. Joe works at GameStop, while Kathryn works at Bath and Body Works. However, neither of them usually ever leaves on pay day without spending a healthy portion of their check at their own store, especially angering Joe’s parents, who think video games are for Neanderthals or children under .

Joe makes an hour, while Kathryn makes an hour. Both work hours a week. Every week, Joe has a probability of purchasing a used video game, and Kathryn has a probability of purchasing a skin moisturizer. Find the expected value, in dollars, of their combined weekly “take-home pay.” (Take-home pay is total pay minus in-store spending.)

In a moment of impaired thought, Joe decides he wants to dress up as a member of NSYNC for his school Halloween party that night. If he dresses up as JC Chasez, he has a probability of of getting beat up at the party. If he dresses up as Justin Timberlake, he has a probability of getting beat up at the party. If he dresses up as any other member of NSYNC, he won’t get beat up because no one will recognize his costume. If there is an equal probability of him dressing up as any of the NSYNC members, what is the probability he will get beat up at the Halloween party?

A bottle contains gallons of a solution of oil. How many gallons of pure oil must be added to make a oil solution? (round to the nearest hundredth)

Kathryn has a crush on Joe. Dressed as Catwoman, she attends the same school Halloween party as Joe, hoping he will be there. If Joe gets beat up, Kathryn will be able to help Joe, and will be able to tell him how much she likes him. Otherwise, Kathryn will need to get her hipster friend, Max, who is DJing the event, to play Joe’s favorite song, “Pieces of Me” by Ashlee Simpson, to get him out on the dance floor, where she’ll also be able to tell him how much she likes him. Since playing the song would be in flagrant violation of Max’s musical integrity as a DJ, Kathryn will have to bribe him to play the song. For every she gives Max, the probability of him playing the song goes up (from to for the first , from to for the next , all the way up to if she gives him ). Max only accepts money in increments of . How much money should Kathryn give to Max to give herself at least a chance of securing enough time to tell Joe how much she likes him?

On the iTest, we defined an optimus prime to be any prime number whose digits sum to a prime number.

SQUARING OFF: Master Chief and Samus Aran take turns firing rockets at one another from across the Cartesian plane. Master Chief’s movement is restricted to lattice points within the square with vertices , , , and , while Samus Aran’s movement is restricted to lattice points inside the square with vertices , , , and . Neither player can be located on or beyond the border of his or her square. Both players randomly choose a lattice point at which they begin the game, and do not move the rest of the game (until either they are killed or kill the other player).

Each player’s turn consists of firing a rocket, targeted at a specific undestroyed lattice point inside the border of the opponent’s movement square, which hits immediately. When a rocket hits its intended lattice point, it explodes, destroying the surrounding square ( additional adjacent lattice points).

The game ends when one player is hit by a rocket (when the player is located within the grid hit by a rocket). If the highest possible probability that Samus Aran wins the game in three turns or less, assuming Master Chief goes first, is expressed as , where and are relatively prime integers, find .

Consider the set . How many elements of this set are divisible by ?

Joe and Kathryn are both on the school math team, which practices every Wednesday after school until PM for competitions. The team was preparing for the iTest when Joe realized how crazy he was for not asking Kathryn out – the way she worked those iTest problems, solving question after question, almost made him go insane sitting there that day. He never felt the same way when she worked on preparing for other competitions – they just aren’t the same.

Kathryn always beat Joe at competitions, too. Joe admired her resolve and unwillingness to make herself look stupid, when so many other girls he knew at school tried to pretend they were stupid in order to attract guys.

So as time ticked away and that afternoon’s Wednesday practice neared an end, Joe was determined to strike up a conversation with Kathryn and ask her out. He really wanted to impress her, so he thought he’d ask her a really hard history of math question that she didn’t know. Naturally, she’d want the answer, and be so impressed with Joe’s brilliance that she’d go out with him on Friday night.

Great plan. Seriously.

When Joe asked Kathryn after class, “Who was the mathematician that died in approximately B.C. that developed a method for calculating all prime numbers?” Kathryn gave the correct response. What name did she say?
