Problem 2
A model used to estimate the time it will take to hike to the top of the mountain on a trail is of the form where and are constants, is the time in minutes, is the length of the trail in miles, and is the altitude gain in feet. The model estimates that it will take minutes to hike to the top if a trail is miles long and ascends feet, as well as if a trail is miles long and ascends feet. How many minutes does the model estimates it will take to hike to the top if the trail is miles long and ascends feet?

Amy, Bomani, Charlie, and Daria work in a chocolate factory. On Monday Amy, Bomani, and Charlie started working at and were able to pack , , and packages, respectively, every minutes. At some later time, Daria joined the group, and Daria was able to pack packages every minutes. Together, they finished packing packages at exactly . At what time did Daria join the group?
Problem 9
In how many ways can juniors and seniors form disjoint teams of people so that each team has juniors and seniors?
Problem 10
Consider the following operation. Given a positive integer , if is a multiple of , then you replace by . If is not a multiple of , then you replace by . For example, beginning with , this procedure gives . Suppose you start with . What value results if you perform this operation exactly times?

Problem 12
Zelda played the Adventures of Math game on August 1 and scored points. She continued to play daily over the next days. The bar chart below shows the daily change in her score compared to the day before. (For example, Zelda's score on August 2 was points.) What was Zelda's average score in points over the days?
Problem 13
Two transformations are said to commute if applying the first followed by the second gives the same result as applying the second followed by the first. Consider these four transformations of the coordinate plane:
- a translation units to the right,
- a -rotation counterclockwise about the origin,
- a reflection across the -axis, and
- a dilation centered at the origin with scale factor
Of the pairs of distinct transformations from this list, how many commute?
Problem 14
One side of an equilateral triangle of height lies on line . A circle of radius is tangent to line and is externally tangent to the triangle. The area of the region exterior to the triangle and the circle and bounded by the triangle, the circle, and line can be written as , where , , and are positive integers and is not divisible by the square of any prime. What is ?
Problem 15
Let be the greatest integer such that both and are perfect squares. What is the units digit of ?
Problem 16
All of the rectangles in the figure below, which is drawn to scale, are similar to the enclosing rectangle. Each number represents the area of the rectangle. What is length ?
Problem 17
Two teams are in a best-two-out-of-three playoff: the teams will play at most games, and the winner of the playoff is the first team to win games. The first game is played on Team A's home field, and the remaining games are played on Team B's home field. Team A has a chance of winning at home, and its probability of winning when playing away from home is . Outcomes of the games are independent. The probability that Team A wins the playoff is . Then can be written in the form , where and are positive integers. What is ?

Integers , , and satisfy , , and . What is
Problem 24
A bee is moving in three-dimensional space. A fair six-sided die with faces labeled and is rolled. Suppose the bee occupies the point If the die shows , then the bee moves to the point and if the die shows then the bee moves to the point Analogous moves are made with the other four outcomes. Suppose the bee starts at the point and the die is rolled four times. What is the probability that the bee traverses four distinct edges of some unit cube?
Problem 25
The figure below shows a dotted grid cells wide and cells tall consisting of squares. Carl places -inch toothpicks along some of the sides of the squares to create a closed loop that does not intersect itself. The numbers in the cells indicate the number of sides of that square that are to be covered by toothpicks, and any number of toothpicks are allowed if no number is written. In how many ways can Carl place the toothpicks?
