Problem 2

Draw in the diagonals of a regular octagon. What is the sum of all distinct angle measures, in degrees, formed by the intersections of the diagonals in the interior of the octagon?

Solution

Problem 3

Alvin, Simon, and Theodore are running around a $1000$ -meter circular track starting at different positions. Alvin is running in the opposite direction of Simon and Theodore.

Solution

Problem 11

Each face of an octahedron is randomly colored blue or red. A caterpillar is on a vertex of the octahedron and wants to get to the opposite vertex by traversing the edges. The probability that it can do so without traveling along an edge that is shared by two faces of the same color is $\frac mn$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m+n$ .

Solution

Problem 12

Let $x_k$ be the largest positive rational solution $x$ to the equation $(2007-x)(x+2007^{-k})^k=1$ for all integers $k\ge 2$ .
