1. In the city of Metroville, there is a 10% chance it will rain Monday, a 30% chance it will rain Tuesday,
and a 20% chance it will rain Wednesday. Given this, there is a p% chance that it will rain on at least
two of the three days. Find 100p.
2. Let S be the set of positive integers that cannot be written in the form 5a + 7b, where a and b are
non-negative integers. Find the sum of the elements of S.
3. Points E and F are on sides AB and BC, respectively, of rectangle ABCD, so that AE : EB = 3 : 1
and BF : F C = 1 : 2. Segments DE and AF intersect at point G. The ratio of the area of quadrilateral
EBF G to quadrilateral ABCD can be expressed as m
n , where m and n are relatively prime positive
integers. Find m + n.

can be expressed in the form ax + bxy cx3 y where a, b, and c are integers. Find a2 + b2 + c2 .
5. A set of lattice points is defined by x, y Z, 1 x 100 and 1 y 100. Each point is colored
red or blue, such that every red point has exactly two red points that are each 1 unit away from the
n
original red point. Let n be the maximum number of red points. Find 10
.
6. Two unit squares are removed at random from a standard 8 8 chessboard. The probability that the
rest of the board can be tiled with dominoes can be expressed as pq , where p and q are positive integers
such that gcd(p, q) = 1. Find p + q.
7. Four points are randomly selected on the edge of a circle with radius 1. The probability that the
maximum distance between any 2 of the 4 points is less than 1 can be represented as ab , where a and
b are relatively prime positive integers. Compute a + b.

9. Given a unit cube, consider the 6 planes each of which contain one face of the cube. Let S be the set
of the points whose sum of the distances to the given 6 planes is at most 12. The volume of S can be
written as ab where a and b are relatively prime positive integers. Find a + b.
10. Richard drops a large bouncy ball off a balcony 150 feet high. The ball is made up of rubber and
plastic such that it is twice as likely to bounce with rubber on the bottom than with plastic. If the ball
reaches 34 of its previous height when bouncing off rubber and 41 of its previous height when bouncing
off plastic, what is the expected value for the total distance the ball travels, in feet, before it comes to
a rest?

12. In triangle ABC, circles 1 and 2 , with radii 9 3 and 3 3, respectively, are both tangent to each
other and side BC, such that 1 is also tangent to AB and 2 is tangent to AC. The common tangent
line to both circles (other than BC) intersects AC at point E and AB at point F . Given that EC = 7
and F B = 57, compute AF .

13. Nine different, non-zero integers are placed into a 3 3 grid, such that for every row and column, the
sum of the third number and the product of the first two numbers (left to right, or top to bottom) is
a constant. What is the minimum possible sum of the absolute values of the nine integers?
14. Circle 1 with diameter AB of length 81 has a circle 2 centered at A and radius 36. Let C and D be
the intersection points of the two circles, and E be the intersection of 2 and segment AB. Segment
CD meets AB at P . Point Q is on the circle centered at A, line QE intersects the circumcircle of
triangle QP B again at point R. If QP = 65, let the length of RB be ab , where a and b are relatively
prime positive integers. Find the remainder when a + b is divided by 1000.
15. At a certain zoo exhibit, there are 8 cells arranged in a circle, each containing a wildcat. The animals in
the exhibit consist of lions, tigers, and leopards. In order to keep the exhibit interesting, the zookeepers
have decided to not place one kind of wildcat in more than 2 cells in a row. In addition, they want to
display at least one of each of the three wildcats. The exhibit has a designated entrance/exit at the
northmost point of the circle, such that rotations of a particular arrangement are considered distinct.
Let the number of ways the animals be arranged about the circle be n. Find the remainder when n is
divided by 1000.
