How many of these four numbers are prime?
Problem 5
A lake contains trout, along with a variety of other fish. When a marine biologist catches and releases a sample of
fish from the lake,
are identified as trout. Assume that the ratio of trout to the total number of fish is the same in both the sample and the lake. How many fish are there in the lake?
Problem 6
The digits and
are placed in the expression below, one digit per box. What is the maximum possible value of the expression?

meters?
Problem 10
Harold made a plum pie to take on a picnic. He was able to eat only of the pie, and he left the rest for his friends. A moose came by and ate
of what Harold left behind. After that, a porcupine ate
of what the moose left behind. How much of the original pie still remained after the porcupine left?
Problem 11
NASA’s Perseverance Rover was launched on July
After traveling
miles, it landed on Mars in Jezero Crater about
months later. Which of the following is closest to the Rover’s average interplanetary speed in miles per hour?
Problem 12
The figure below shows a large white circle with a number of smaller white and shaded circles in its interior. What fraction of the interior of the large white circle is shaded?
Problem 13
Along the route of a bicycle race, water stations are evenly spaced between the start and finish lines,
as shown in the figure below. There are also
repair stations evenly spaced between the start and
finish lines. The
rd water station is located
miles after the
st repair station. How long is the race
in miles?
Problem 14
Nicolas is planning to send a package to his friend Anton, who is a stamp collector. To pay for the postage, Nicolas would like to cover the package with a large number of stamps. Suppose he has a collection of -cent,
-cent, and

Viswam walks half a mile to get to school each day. His route consists of city blocks of equal length and he takes
minute to walk each block. Today, after walking
blocks, Viswam discovers he has to make a detour, walking
blocks of equal length instead of
block to reach the next corner. From the time he starts his detour, at what speed, in mph, must he walk, in order to get to school at his usual time?
