Definition

Distinct is a commonly used word in mathematics competitions meaning different.

Examples

  • Distinct numbers are numbers which are not equal to each other.
  • Distinct sets are sets which are not equal to each other.
  • Distinct polygons are polygons which are not congruent to each other.
  • Distinct objects are objects which are distinguishable

Problems

Introductory

  • Let the letters $F$,$L$,$Y$,$B$,$U$,$G$ represent distinct digits. Suppose $\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}~\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}$ is the greatest number that satisfies the equation

\[8\cdot\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}~\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}=\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}~\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}.\]

What is the value of $\underline{F}~\underline{L}~\underline{Y}+\underline{B}~\underline{U}~\underline{G}$?\[\textbf{(A)}\ 1089 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 1098 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 1107 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 1116 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 1125\]

Intermediate

  • Call a positive integer $n$ extra-distinct if the remainders when $n$ is divided by $2, 3, 4, 5,$ and $6$ are distinct. Find the number of extra-distinct positive integers less than $1000$.

Olympiad

  • Given any set $A = \{a_1, a_2, a_3, a_4\}$ of four distinct positive integers, we denote the sum $a_1 +a_2 +a_3 +a_4$ by $s_A$. Let $n_A$ denote the number of pairs $(i, j)$ with $1 \leq  i < j \leq 4$ for which $a_i +a_j$ divides $s_A$. Find all sets $A$ of four distinct positive integers which achieve the largest possible value of $n_A$.
