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.

Note: All questions with a star after the problem number are not yet the correct problem, as I copy/pasted the format from the 2011 AIME I page.

Problem 1

Gary purchased a large bevarage, but only drank m/n of it, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. If he had purchased half as much and drank twice as much, he would have wasted only 2/9 as much bevarage. Find m+n.

Solution

Problem 2

Solution

Problem 3

In triangle ABC, AB=(20/11)AC. The angle bisector of angle A intersects BC at point D, and point M is the midpoint of AD. Let P be the point of intersection of AC and the line BM. The ratio of CP to PA can be expresses in the form m/n, where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+n.

Solution

Problem 5

Solution

Problem 6

Define an ordered quadruple (a, b, c, d) as interesting if $1 \le a<b<c<d \le 10$ , and a+d>b+c. How many ordered quadruples are there?

Solution

Problem 7*

Find the number of positive integers $m$ for which there exist nonnegative integers $x_0$ , $x_1$ , $\dots$ , $x_{2011}$ such that $m^{x_0} = \sum_{k = 1}^{2011} m^{x_k}.$

Solution

Problem 8*

In triangle $ABC$ , $BC = 23$ , $CA = 27$ , and $AB = 30$ . Points $V$ and $W$ are on $\overline{AC}$ with $V$ on $\overline{AW}$ , points $X$ and $Y$ are on $\overline{BC}$ with $X$ on $\overline{CY}$ , and points $Z$ and $U$ are on $\overline{AB}$ with $Z$ on $\overline{BU}$ . In addition, the points are positioned so that $\overline{UV} \parallel \overline{BC}$ , $\overline{WX} \parallel \overline{AB}$ , and $\overline{YZ} \parallel \overline{CA}$ . Right angle folds are then made along $\overline{UV}$ , $\overline{WX}$ , and $\overline{YZ}$ . The resulting figure is placed on a level floor to make a table with triangular legs. Let $h$ be the maximum possible height of a table constructed from triangle $ABC$ whose top is parallel to the floor. Then $h$ can be written in the form $\frac{k \sqrt{m}}{n}$ , where $k$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers and $m$ is a positive integer that is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $k + m + n$ .
