Problem 1
An ordered pair of non-negative integers is called "simple" if the addition
in base
requires no carrying. Find the number of simple ordered pairs of non-negative integers that sum to
.
Problem 2
What is the largest possible distance between two points, one on the sphere of radius 19 with center and the other on the sphere of radius 87 with center
?
Problem 3
By a proper divisor of a natural number we mean a positive integral divisor other than 1 and the number itself. A natural number greater than 1 will be called "nice" if it is equal to the product of its distinct proper divisors. What is the sum of the first ten nice numbers?
Problem 4
Find the area of the region enclosed by the graph of
Problem 5
Find if
and
are integers such that
.
Problem 6
Rectangle is divided into four parts of equal area by five segments as shown in the figure, where
, and
is parallel to
. Find the length of
(in cm) if
cm and
cm.
Problem 7
Let denote the least common multiple of positive integers
and
. Find the number of ordered triples
of positive integers for which
,
, and
.
Problem 8
What is the largest positive integer for which there is a unique integer
such that
?
Problem 9
Triangle has right angle at
, and contains a point
for which
,
, and
. Find
.
Problem 10
Al walks down to the bottom of an escalator that is moving up and he counts 150 steps. His friend, Bob, walks up to the top of the escalator and counts 75 steps. If Al's speed of walking (in steps per unit time) is three times Bob's walking speed, how many steps are visible on the escalator at a given time? (Assume that this value is constant.)
Problem 11
Find the largest possible value of for which
is expressible as the sum of
consecutive positive integers.
Problem 12
Let be the smallest integer whose cube root is of the form
, where
is a positive integer and
is a positive real number less than
. Find
.
Problem 13
A given sequence of distinct real numbers can be put in ascending order by means of one or more "bubble passes". A bubble pass through a given sequence consists of comparing the second term with the first term, and exchanging them if and only if the second term is smaller, then comparing the third term with the second term and exchanging them if and only if the third term is smaller, and so on in order, through comparing the last term,
, with its current predecessor and exchanging them if and only if the last term is smaller.
The example below shows how the sequence 1, 9, 8, 7 is transformed into the sequence 1, 8, 7, 9 by one bubble pass. The numbers compared at each step are underlined.

Suppose that , and that the terms of the initial sequence
are distinct from one another and are in random order. Let
, in lowest terms, be the probability that the number that begins as
will end up, after one bubble pass, in the
place. Find
