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

Points $A$ , $B$ , and $C$ lie in that order along a straight path where the distance from $A$ to $C$ is $1800$ meters. Ina runs twice as fast as Eve, and Paul runs twice as fast as Ina. The three runners start running at the same time with Ina starting at $A$ and running toward $C$ , Paul starting at $B$ and running toward $C$ , and Eve starting at $C$ and running toward $A$ . When Paul meets Eve, he turns around and runs toward $A$ . Paul and Ina both arrive at $B$ at the same time. Find the number of meters from $A$ to $B$ .

Problem 2

Let $a_{0} = 2$ , $a_{1} = 5$ , and $a_{2} = 8$ , and for $n > 2$ define $a_{n}$ recursively to be the remainder when $4(a_{n-1} + a_{n-2} + a_{n-3})$ is divided by $11$ . Find $a_{2018} \cdot a_{2020} \cdot a_{2022}$ .

Problem 3

Find the sum of all positive integers $b < 1000$ such that the base- $b$ integer $36_{b}$ is a perfect square and the base- $b$ integer $27_{b}$ is a perfect cube.

Problem 4

In equiangular octagon $CAROLINE$ , $CA = RO = LI = NE =$ $\sqrt{2}$ and $AR = OL = IN = EC = 1$ . The self-intersecting octagon $CORNELIA$ enclosed six non-overlapping triangular regions. Let $K$ be the area enclosed by $CORNELIA$ , that is, the total area of the six triangular regions. Then $K = \frac{a}{b}$ , where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a + b$ .

Problem 5

Suppose that $x$ , $y$ , and $z$ are complex numbers such that $xy = -80 - 320i$ , $yz = 60$ , and $zx = -96 + 24i$ , where $i$ $=$ $\sqrt{-1}$ . Then there are real numbers $a$ and $b$ such that $x + y + z = a + bi$ . Find $a^2 + b^2$ .

Problem 6

A real number $a$ is chosen randomly and uniformly from the interval $[-20, 18]$ . The probability that the roots of the polynomial

$x^4 + 2ax^3 + (2a - 2)x^2 + (-4a + 3)x - 2$

are all real can be written in the form $\dfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$ .

Problem 7

Triangle $ABC$ has side lengths $AB = 9$ , $BC =$ $5\sqrt{3}$ , and $AC = 12$ . Points $A = P_{0}, P_{1}, P_{2}, ... , P_{2450} = B$ are on segment $\overline{AB}$ with $P_{k}$ between $P_{k-1}$ and $P_{k+1}$ for $k = 1, 2, ..., 2449$ , and points $A = Q_{0}, Q_{1}, Q_{2}, ... , Q_{2450} = C$ are on segment $\overline{AC}$ with $Q_{k}$ between $Q_{k-1}$ and $Q_{k+1}$ for $k = 1, 2, ..., 2449$ . Furthermore, each segment $\overline{P_{k}Q_{k}}$ , $k = 1, 2, ..., 2449$ , is parallel to $\overline{BC}$ . The segments cut the triangle into $2450$ regions, consisting of $2449$ trapezoids and $1$ triangle. Each of the $2450$ regions has the same area. Find the number of segments $\overline{P_{k}Q_{k}}$ , $k = 1, 2, ..., 2450$ , that have rational length.

Problem 8

A frog is positioned at the origin of the coordinate plane. From the point $(x, y)$ , the frog can jump to any of the points $(x + 1, y)$ , $(x + 2, y)$ , $(x, y + 1)$ , or $(x, y + 2)$ . Find the number of distinct sequences of jumps in which the frog begins at $(0, 0)$ and ends at $(4, 4)$ .

==Problem 9== (someone pls add a pic here.)

Octagon $ABCDEFGH$ with side lengths $AB = CD = EF = GH = 10$ and $BC = DE = FG = HA = 11$ is formed by removing 6-8-10 triangles from the corners of a $23$ $\times$ $27$ rectangle with side $\overline{AH}$ on a short side of the rectangle, as shown. Let $J$ be the midpoint of $\overline{AH}$ , and partition the octagon into 7 triangles by drawing segments $\overline{JB}$ , $\overline{JC}$ , $\overline{JD}$ , $\overline{JE}$ , $\overline{JF}$ , and $\overline{JG}$ . Find the area of the convex polygon whose vertices are the centroids of these 7 triangles.

Problem 10

Find the number of functions $f(x)$ from $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ to $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ that satisfy $f(f(x)) = f(f(f(x)))$ for all $x$ in $\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5\}$ .

Problem 11

Find the number of permutations of $1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6$ such that for each $k$ with $1$ $\leq$ $k$ $\leq$ $5$ , at least one of the first $k$ terms of the permutation is greater than $k$ .

Problem 12

Let $ABCD$ be a convex quadrilateral with $AB = CD = 10$ , $BC = 14$ , and $AD = 2\sqrt{65}$ . Assume that the diagonals of $ABCD$ intersect at point $P$ , and that the sum of the areas of triangles $APB$ and $CPD$ equals the sum of the areas of triangles $BPC$ and $APD$ . Find the area of quadrilateral $ABCD$ .

Problem 13

Misha rolls a standard, fair six-sided die until she rolls 1-2-3 in that order on three consecutive rolls. The probability that she will roll the die an odd number of times is $\dfrac{m}{n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Problem 14

The incircle $\omega$ of triangle $ABC$ is tangent to $\overline{BC}$ at $X$ . Let $Y \neq X$ be the other intersection of $\overline{AX}$ with $\omega$ . Points $P$ and $Q$ lie on $\overline{AB}$ and $\overline{AC}$ , respectively, so that $\overline{PQ}$ is tangent to $\omega$ at $Y$ . Assume that $AP = 3$ , $PB = 4$ , $AC = 8$ , and $AQ = \dfrac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Problem 15

Find the number of functions $f$ from $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ to the integers such that $f(0) = 0$ , $f(6) = 12$ , and

$|x - y| \leq |f(x) - f(y)| \leq 3|x - y|$

for all $x$ and $y$ in $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6\}$ .
