Problem 1

Many states use a sequence of three letters followed by a sequence of three digits as their standard license-plate pattern. Given that each three-letter three-digit arrangement is equally likely, the probability that such a license plate will contain at least one palindrome (a three-letter arrangement or a three-digit arrangement that reads the same left-to-right as it does right-to-left) is $m/n$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Problem 2

Three vertices of a cube are $P=(7,12,10)$ , $Q=(8,8,1)$ , and $R=(11,3,9)$ . What is the surface area of the cube?

Problem 3

It is given that $\log_{6}a + \log_{6}b + \log_{6}c = 6,$ where $a,$ $b,$ and $c$ are positive integers that form an increasing geometric sequence and $b - a$ is the square of an integer. Find $a + b + c.$

Problem 11

Two distinct, real, infinite geometric series each have a sum of $1$ and have the same second term. The third term of one of the series is $1/8$ , and the second term of both series can be written in the form $\frac{\sqrt{m}-n}p$ , where $m$ , $n$ , and $p$ are positive integers and $m$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $100m+10n+p$ .

Problem 12

A basketball player has a constant probability of $.4$ of making any given shot, independent of previous shots. Let $a_n$ be the ratio of shots made to shots attempted after $n$ shots. The probability that $a_{10}\le.4$ and $a_n\le.4$ for all $n$ such that $1\le n\le9$ is given to be $p^aq^br/\left(s^c\right)$ where $p$ , $q$ , $r$ , and $s$ are primes, and $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are positive integers. Find $\left(p+q+r+s\right)\left(a+b+c\right)$ .

Problem 13

In triangle $ABC$ , point $D$ is on $\overline{BC}$ with $CD=2$ and $DB=5$ , point $E$ is on $\overline{AC}$ with $CE=1$ and $EA=32$ , $AB=8$ , and $\overline{AD}$ and $\overline{BE}$ intersect at $P$ . Points $Q$ and $R$ lie on $\overline{AB}$ so that $\overline{PQ}$ is parallel to $\overline{CA}$ and $\overline{PR}$ is parallel to $\overline{CB}$ . It is given that the ratio of the area of triangle $PQR$ to the area of triangle $ABC$ is $m/n$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Problem 14

The perimeter of triangle $APM$ is $152$ , and the angle $PAM$ is a right angle. A circle of radius $19$ with center $O$ on $\overline{AP}$ is drawn so that it is tangent to $\overline{AM}$ and $\overline{PM}$ . Given that $OP=m/n$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, find $m+n$ .

Problem 15

Circles $\mathcal{C}_{1}$ and $\mathcal{C}_{2}$ intersect at two points, one of which is $(9,6)$ , and the product of the radii is $68$ . The x-axis and the line $y = mx$ , where $m > 0$ , are tangent to both circles. It is given that $m$ can be written in the form $a\sqrt {b}/c$ , where $a$ , $b$ , and $c$ are positive integers, $b$ is not divisible by the square of any prime, and $a$ and $c$ are relatively prime. Find $a + b + c$ .
