Let , where the additions and subtractions alternate in pairs. Find the remainder when is divided by .
Problem 2
Rudolph bikes at a constant rate and stops for a five-minute break at the end of every mile. Jennifer bikes at a constant rate which is three-quarters the rate that Rudolph bikes, but Jennifer takes a five-minute break at the end of every two miles. Jennifer and Rudolph begin biking at the same time and arrive at the -mile mark at exactly the same time. How many minutes has it taken them?
Problem 3
A block of cheese in the shape of a rectangular solid measures cm by cm by cm. Ten slices are cut from the cheese. Each slice has a width of cm and is cut parallel to one face of the cheese. The individual slices are not necessarily parallel to each other. What is the maximum possible volume in cubic cm of the remaining block of cheese after ten slices have been cut off?

Problem 9
A particle is located on the coordinate plane at . Define a move for the particle as a counterclockwise rotation of radians about the origin followed by a translation of units in the positive -direction. Given that the particle's position after moves is , find the greatest integer less than or equal to .
Problem 10
The diagram below shows a rectangular array of points, each of which is unit away from its nearest neighbors.
Define a growing path to be a sequence of distinct points of the array with the property that the distance between consecutive points of the sequence is strictly increasing. Let be the maximum possible number of points in a growing path, and let be the number of growing paths consisting of exactly points. Find .

Problem 12
There are two distinguishable flagpoles, and there are flags, of which are identical blue flags, and are identical green flags. Let be the number of distinguishable arrangements using all of the flags in which each flagpole has at least one flag and no two green flags on either pole are adjacent. Find the remainder when is divided by .
