Instructions

1. All rules of a regular AMC 10 apply.

2. Please submit your answers in a DM to me (Lcz).

3. Don't cheat.

Here's the problems!

Problem 1

Find the value of $2^{0+1+2}+2+0(1+(2))+20(12)$.

$\textbf{(A)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 248 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 250 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 252 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 254$

Problem 2

If $|x-2|=0$, and $|y-3|=1$, find the sum of all possible values of $|xy|$.

$\textbf{(A)}\ 0 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 4 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 8 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 12 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 16$

Problem 3

What is $1*2+2*3+3*4+4*5+5*6+6*7+7*8$?

$\textbf{(A)}\ 84 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 120 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 138 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 150 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 168$


Problem 4

Jack and Jill play a (bad) game on a number line which contains the integers. Jack starts at $-1$, and Jill starts at $18$. Every turn, the judge flip a standard six sided die. If the number rolled is a square number, Jack moves to the right $10$ units. Otherwise, Jill moves to the left $5$ units. Find the probability for which Jack and Jill pass each other for the first time in $3$ moves.

$\textbf{(A)}\ 4/27 \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 2/9 \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 1/3 \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 4/9 \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 2/3$
