Problem 1
Let be the number of ordered pairs of integers
with
and
such that the polynomial
can be factored into the product of two (not necessarily distinct) linear factors with integer coefficients. Find the remainder when
is divided by
.
Problem 2
The number can be written in base
as
, can be written in base
as
, and can be written in base
as
, where
. Find the base-
representation of
.
Problem 3
Kathy has red cards and
green cards. She shuffles the
cards and lays out
of the cards in a row in a random order. She will be happy if and only if all the red cards laid out are adjacent and all the green cards laid out are adjacent. For example, card orders
or
will make Kathy happy, but
will not. The probability that Kathy will be happy is
, where
and
are relatively prime positive integers. Find
.
Problem 4
In \(\triangle ABC, AB = AC = 10\) and \(BC = 12\). Point \(D\) lies strictly between \(A\) and \(B\) on \(\overline{AB}\) and point \(E\) lies strictly between \(A\) and \(C\) on \(\overline{AC}\) so that \(AD = DE = EC\). Then \(AD\) can be expressed in the form \(\dfrac{p}{q}\), where \(p\) and \(q\) are relatively prime positive integers. Find \(p + q\).
Problem 5

and
is a real number. Find the remainder when
is divided by
.
Problem 7
A right hexagonal prism has height . The bases are regular hexagons with side length
. Any

vertices determine a triangle. Find the number of these triangles that are isosceles (including equilateral triangles).
Problem 8
Let be an equiangular hexagon such that
, and
. Denote
the diameter of the largest circle that fits inside the hexagon. Find

Problem 9
Find the number of four-element subsets of with the property that two distinct elements of a subset have a sum of
, and two distinct elements of a subset have a sum of
. For example,
and
are two such subsets.
Problem 10
The wheel shown below consists of two circles and five spokes, with a label at each point where a spoke meets a circle. A bug walks along the wheel, starting at point \(A\). At every step of the process, the bug walks from one labeled point to an adjacent labeled point. Along the inner circle the bug only walks in a circular clockwise direction, and along the outer circle the bug only walks in a clockwise direction. For example, the bug could travel along the path \(AJABCHCHIJA\), which has \(10\) steps. Let \(n\) be the number of paths with \(15\) steps that begin and end at point \(A\). Find the remainder when \(n\) is divided by \(1000\).
Problem 11
Find the least positive integer such that when

are
.
Problem 12
For every subset of

Problem 13
Let \(\Delta ABC\) have side lengths \(AB=30\), \(BC=32\), and \(AC=34\). Point \(X\) lies in the interior of \(\overline{BC}\), and points \(I_1\) and \(I_2\) are the incenters of \(\triangle ABX\) and \(\triangle ACX\), respectively. Find the minimum possible area of \(\triangle AI_1I_2\) as \( X\) varies along \(\overline{BC}\).
Problem 14
Let be a heptagon. A frog starts jumping at vertex
. From any vertex of the heptagon except
, the frog may jump to either fo the two adjacent vertices. When it reaches vertex
, the frog stops and stays there. Find the number of distinct sequences of jumps of no more than
jumps that end at
.
Problem 15
David found four sticks of different lengths that can be used to form three non-congruent convex cyclic quadrilaterals, \(A\), \(B\), \(C\), which can each be inscribed in a circle with radius \(1\). Let \(\varphi_A\) denote the measure of the acute angle made by the diagonals of quadrilateral \(A\), and define \(\varphi_B\) and \(\varphi_C\) similarly. Suppose that \(\sin\varphi_A=\frac{2}{3}\), \(\sin\varphi_B=\frac{3}{5}\), and \(\sin\varphi_C=\frac{6}{7}\). All three quadrilaterals have the same area \(K\), which can be written in the form \(\frac{m}{n}\), where \(m\) and \(n\) are relatively prime positive integers. Find \(m+n\).
