Target

  1. A train leaves Omaha at $5$pm going at $100$ km/h headed for San Fransisco. A train leaves San Fransisco at $6$ pm of the same day at twice that speed, heading for Omaha. If Omaha and San Fransisco are $1500$ miles apart, how much farther will the faster train travel than the slower once they meet?
  2. What is the probability that a point placed on a $30-60-90$ triangle is placed on the hypotenuse? Express your answer as a common fraction in simplest radical form.
  3. If the median of a triangle is $5$, and its two base angles are congruent, find the other two side's lengths in terms of the base.
  4. Bob votes randomly in a poll. If the probability that he voted for either licorice or chocolate is $\frac{1}{16}$, find the number of options in the poll.

Team

  1. Consider a $4$ by $5$ rectangle. Each square is randomly either coloured or not. Express the probability that less than half of the "border" of the rectangle is coloured.
  2. The country of Larepmet is undergoing a famine. Each day, $\left\lfloor\frac{x^3}{x^2+1}\right\rfloor$ sacks of wheat are lost, where $x$ is the number of sacks previously. If Larepmet starts with $100$ sacks of wheat on day $1$, on what day will they run out?
  3. If $a$ is picked from $\{1,2,3\}$, $b$ from $\{11,12,13\}$ and $c$ from $\{21,22,23\}$, find the probability that $a+b+c+abc$ is even as a common fraction.
  4. If $9$ people are seated in a circle, and three stand up, find the probability that none of the three who stood are adjacent to each other.
  5. Given that at most five people are in a room, and that less than three of them are nine years old, find the probability as a common fraction that more than $\frac{1}{3}$ of them are nine years old. (If there are no nine-year olds nor any people, consider this to be that 100% of them are nine-year olds)

Masters

  1. The set of complex numbers, known as $\mathbb{C}$, consists of the square roots of any negative real number plus a real number. The base complex number, called $i$, is the square root of negative one. Every complex number can be expressed as $a+bi$, where $i$ is the square root of $-1$, and $a$ and $b$ are real constants.

i) Find the square root of $i$. ii) Every complex number $a+bi$ has a square root in the form of $c+di$. Find $c$ and $d$ in terms of $a$ and $b$.
