Problem 1

Let S denote the sum of all of the three digit positive integers with three distinct digits. Compute the remainder when S is divided by 1000.

Problem 2

2. If x^2 + y^2 - 30x - 40y + 24^2 = 0, then the largest possible value of \frac{y}{x} can be written as \frac{m}{n}, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Determine m + n.

Problem 3

3. A, B, C, D, and E are collinear in that order such that AB = BC = 1, CD = 2, and DE = 9. If P can be any point in space, what is the smallest possible value of AP^2 + BP^2 + CP^2 + DP^2 + EP^2?

Problem 4

4. When 1 + 7 + 7^2 + \cdots + 7^{2004} is divided by 1000, a remainder of N is obtained. Determine the value of N.

Problem 6

6. A paperboy delivers newspapers to 10 houses along Main Street. Wishing to save effort, he doesn't always deliver to every house, but to avoid being fired he never misses three consecutive houses. Compute the number of ways the paperboy could deliver papers in this manner.

Problem 7

7. Let N denote the number of permutations of the 15-character string AAAABBBBBCCCCCC such that

(1) None of the first four letter is an A. (2) None of the next five letters is a B. (3) None of the last six letters is a C.

Find the remainder when N is divided by 1000.

Problem 8

8. ABCD, a rectangle with AB = 12 and BC = 16, is the base of pyramid P, which has a height of 24. A plane parallel to ABCD is passed through P, dividing P into a frustum F and a smaller pyramid P'. Let X denote the center of the circumsphere of F, and let T denote the apex of P.

Problem 14

14. Wally's Key Company makes and sells two types of keys. Mr. Porter buys a total of 12 keys from Wally's. Determine the number of possible arrangements of My. Porter's 12 new keys on his keychain (Where rotations are considered the same and any two keys of the same type are identical.)

Problem 15

15. Triangle $ABC$ has an inradius of $5$ and a circumradius of $16$ . If $2\cos{B} = \cos{A} + \cos{C}$ , then the area of triangle $ABC$ can be expressed as $\frac{a\sqrt{b}}{c}$ , where $a, b,$ and $c$ are positive integers such that $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime and $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Compute $a+b+c$ .
