A child builds towers using identically shaped cubes of different colors. How many different towers with a height cubes can the child build with
red cubes,
blue cubes, and
green cubes? (One cube will be left out.)
Problem 18
For some positive integer , the repeating base-
representation of the (base-ten) fraction
is
. What is
?
Problem 19
What is the least possible value of
where
is a real number?
Problem 20
The numbers are randomly placed into the
squares of a
grid. Each square gets one number, and each of the numbers is used once. What is the probability that the sum of the numbers in each row and each column is odd?
Problem 21
A sphere with center has radius 6. A triangle with sides of length
,
, and
is situated in space so that each of its sides are tangent to the sphere. What is the distance between
and the plane determined by the triangle?
Problem 22
Real numbers between 0 and 1, inclusive, are chosen in the following manner. A fair coin is flipped. If it lands heads, then it is flipped again and the chosen number is 0 if the second flip is heads and 1 if the second flip is tails. On the other hand, if the first coin flip is tails, then the number is chosen uniformly at random from the closed interval . Two random numbers
and
are chosen independently in this manner. What is the probability that
?
Problem 23
Travis has to babysit the terrible Thompson triplets. Knowing that they love big numbers, Travis devises a counting game for them. First Tadd will say the number , then Todd must say the next two numbers (
and
), then Tucker must say the next three numbers (
,
,
), then Tadd must say the next four numbers (
,
,
,
), and the process continues to rotate through the three children in order, each saying one more number than the previous child did, until the number
is reached. What is the
th number said by Tadd?
Problem 24
Let ,
, and
be the distinct roots of the polynomial
. It is given that there exist real numbers
,
, and
such that
for all
. What is
?
Problem 25

and
, inclusive, is
an integer? (Recall that
.)
