Instructions This is a 25-question, multiple choice test. Each question is followed by answers marked A, B, C, D and E. Only one of these is correct. You will receive 6 points for each correct answer, 2.5 points for each problem left unanswered if the year is before 2006, 1.5 points for each problem left unanswered if the year is after 2006, and 0 points for each incorrect answer. No aids are permitted other than scratch paper, graph paper, ruler, compass, protractor and erasers (and calculators that are accepted for use on the SAT if before 2006. No problems on the test will require the use of a calculator). Figures are not necessarily drawn to scale. You will have 75 minutes working time to complete the test.

+Let <math>P(x)</math> be a polynomial with rational coefficients such that when <math>P(x)</math> is divided by the polynomial <math>x^2 + x + 1</math>, the remainder is <math>x + 2</math>, and when <math>P(x)</math> is divided by the polynomial <math>x^2 + 1</math>, the remainder is <math>2x + 1</math>. There is a unique polynomial of least degree with these two properties. What is the sum of the squares of the coefficients of that polynomial?
