Problem 1

In the year $2001$, the United States will host the International Mathematical Olympiad. Let $\displaystyle I,M,$ and $\displaystyle O$ be distinct positive integers such that the product $I \cdot M \cdot O = 2001$. What is the largest possible value of the sum $\displaystyle I + M + O$?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 23 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 55 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 99 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 111 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 671 }$

Solution

Problem 2

$\displaystyle 2000(2000^{2000}) =$

$\mathrm{(A) \ 2000^{2001} } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 4000^{2000} } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 2000^{4000} } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 4,000,000^{2000} } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 2000^{4,000,000} }$


Solution

Problem 3

Each day, Jenny ate 20% of the jellybeans that were in her jar at the beginning of that day. At the end of the second day, 32 remained. How many jellybeans were in the jar originally?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 40 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 50 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 55 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 60 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 75 }$

Solution

Problem 4

The Fibonacci sequence 1,1,2,3,5,8,13,21,... starts with two 1s, and each term afterwards is the sum of its two predecessors. Which one of the ten digits is the last to appear in the units position of a number in the Fibonacci sequence?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 0 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 4 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 6 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 7 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 9 }$

Solution

Problem 5

If $\displaystyle |x - 2| = p,$ where $\displaystyle x < 2,$ then $\displaystyle x - p =$

$\mathrm{(A) \ -2 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 2 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 2-2p } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 2p-2 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ |2p-2| }$


Solution

Problem 6

Two different prime numbers between 4 and 18 are chosen. When their sum is subtracted from their product, which of the following numbers could be obtained?

$\mathrm{(A) \ 21 } \qquad \mathrm{(B) \ 60 } \qquad \mathrm{(C) \ 119 } \qquad \mathrm{(D) \ 180 } \qquad \mathrm{(E) \ 231 }$

Solution
