Instructions This is a 15-question, 3-hour examination. All answers are integers ranging from $000$ to $999$ , inclusive. Your score will be the number of correct answers; i.e., there is neither partial credit nor a penalty for wrong answers. No aids other than scratch paper, graph paper, ruler, compass, and protractor are permitted. In particular, calculators and computers are not permitted.

Problem 1

Adults made up $\frac5{12}$ of the crowd of people at a concert. After a bus carrying $50$ more people arrived, adults made up $\frac{11}{25}$ of the people at the concert. Find the minimum number of adults who could have been at the concert after the bus arrived.

Solution

Problem 2

Azar, Carl, Jon, and Sergey are the four players left in a singles tennis tournament. They are randomly assigned opponents in the semifinal matches, and the winners of those matches play each other in the final match to determine the winner of the tournament. When Azar plays Carl, Azar will win the match with probability $\frac23$ . When either Azar or Carl plays either Jon or Sergey, Azar or Carl will win the match with probability $\frac34$ . Assume that outcomes of different matches are independent. The probability that Carl will win the tournament is $\frac{p}{q}$ , where $p$ and $q$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $p+q$ .

Solution

Problem 3

A right square pyramid with volume $54$ has a base with side length $6.$ The five vertices of the pyramid all lie on a sphere with radius $\frac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

Problem 4

There is a positive real number $x$ not equal to either $\tfrac{1}{20}$ or $\tfrac{1}{2}$ such that $\log_{20x} (22x)=\log_{2x} (202x).$ The value $\log_{20x} (22x)$ can be written as $\log_{10} (\tfrac{m}{n})$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

Problem 5

Twenty distinct points are marked on a circle and labeled $1$ through $20$ in clockwise order. A line segment is drawn between every pair of points whose labels differ by a prime number. Find the number of triangles formed whose vertices are among the original $20$ points.

Solution

Problem 6

Let $x_1\leq x_2\leq \cdots\leq x_{100}$ be real numbers such that $|x_1| + |x_2| + \cdots + |x_{100}| = 1$ and $x_1 + x_2 + \cdots + x_{100} = 0$ . Among all such $100$ -tuples of numbers, the greatest value that $x_{76} - x_{16}$ can achieve is $\tfrac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .
