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 and . Point lies strictly between and on and point lies strictly between and on ) so that . Then can be expressed in the form , where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find .
Problem 5

Problem 6
Let be the number of complex numbers with the properties that and is a real number. Find the remainder when is divided by .
Solution
Let . This simplifies the problem constraint to . This is true iff . Let be the angle makes with the positive x-axis. Note that there is exactly one for each angle . This must be true for values of (it may help to picture the reference angle making one orbit from and to the positive x-axis; note every time ). For each of these solutions for , there are necessarily solutions for . Thus, there are solutions for , yielding an answer of .
Problem 7
A right hexagonal prism has height . The bases are regular hexagons with side length . Any of the 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

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 . 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 , which has steps. Let be the number of paths with steps that begin and end at point . Find the remainder when is divided by .
Problem 11
