[hide]Problem 1
Compute the largest integer such that divides .
Problem 2
is a real number with the property that . Let . Determine the value of .
Problem 3
In a box, there are green balls, blue balls, red balls, a brown ball, a white ball, and a black ball. These balls are randomly drawn out of the box one at a time (without replacement) until two of the same color have been removed. This process requires that at most balls be removed. The probability that balls are drawn can be expressed as , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Compute .
Problem 4
Let . Given that has digits, how many elements of begin with the digit ?
Problem 5
Let be the set of integers for which , an infinite decimal that has the property that for all positive integers . Given that is prime, how many positive integers are in ? (The are digits.)

Problem 7
Anders, Po-Ru, Reid, and Aaron are playing Bridge. After one hand, they notice that all of the cards of the two suits are split between Reid and Po-Ru's hands. Let denote the number of ways cards can be dealt to each player such that this is the case. Determine the remainder obtained when is divided by . (Bridge is a game played with the standard -card deck.)
