Before starting to paint, Bill had ounces of blue paint, ounces of red paint, and ounces of white paint. Bill painted four equally sized stripes on a wall, making a blue stripe, a red stripe, a white stripe, and a pink stripe. Pink is a mixture of red and white, not necessarily in equal amounts. When Bill finished, he had equal amounts of blue, red, and white paint left. Find the total number of ounces of paint Bill had left.
Answer: 114
Difficulty rating: 1750
Solution:
Say each stripe used ounces of paint. Blue was used only on the blue stripe, so ounces of blue were used. Since the three leftovers are equal and the colors started and ounces apart, red use exceeded blue use by ounces and white use exceeded blue use by ounces. That extra red and white is exactly the pink stripe, so
Bill therefore had ounces of each color left, for a total of ounces.

A group of children held a grape-eating contest. When the contest was over, the winner had eaten grapes, and the child in th place had eaten grapes. The total number of grapes eaten in the contest was Find the smallest possible value of
Answer: 89
Difficulty rating: 2110
Solution:
Let be the number of children. The grape counts form an arithmetic sequence, so the total is times the average of the first and last terms: Thus and
The last-place child ate grapes, which forces ruling out and The remaining divisors give for for and for
The smallest possible value is

Equilateral triangle is inscribed in circle which has radius Circle with radius is internally tangent to circle at one vertex of Circles and both with radius are internally tangent to circle at the other two vertices of Circles and are all externally tangent to circle which has radius where and are relatively prime positive integers. Find
Answer: 32
Difficulty rating: 2450
Solution:
Place the center of circle at the origin with the triangle's vertices at and A circle internally tangent to at a vertex has its center on the radius to that vertex, so circle has center and circles and have centers (at distance from the origin).
By symmetry the center of circle of radius lies on the -axis at External tangency to gives so External tangency to gives that is, which simplifies to so
Then

Let be the number of five-element subsets that can be chosen from the set of the first natural numbers so that at least two of the five numbers are consecutive. Find the remainder when is divided by
Answer: 750
Difficulty rating: 2300
Solution:
Count the complement: subsets with no two consecutive. Setting turns each such subset into five distinct numbers in and this map is reversible, so there are subsets with no two consecutive numbers.
Therefore and the remainder upon division by is
7.
Define to be for odd and for even. When is expressed as a fraction in lowest terms, its denominator is with odd. Find
Answer: 401
Difficulty rating: 2840
Solution:
The th term is with odd numerator, and Because is an integer, every odd prime power dividing also divides Hence in lowest terms the th term has denominator exactly where and is the exponent of in The strictly increase, so over the common denominator every term except the last contributes an even numerator while the last contributes an odd one. The sum in lowest terms therefore has denominator exactly so
By Legendre's formula, so Then

Dave rolls a fair six-sided die until a six appears for the first time. Independently, Linda rolls a fair six-sided die until a six appears for the first time. Let and be relatively prime positive integers such that is the probability that the number of times Dave rolls his die is equal to or within one of the number of times Linda rolls her die. Find
Answer: 41
Difficulty rating: 2560
Solution:
The probability that a player's first six appears on roll is The probability of a tie is
The probability that Linda needs exactly one more roll than Dave is and by symmetry the same holds with the players swapped.
The total probability is so

Let be the number of solutions in positive integers to the equation and let be the number of solutions in positive integers to the equation Find the remainder when is divided by
Answer: 0
Difficulty rating: 2840
Solution:
If is a positive solution of then is a nonnegative solution of and conversely, since So equals the number of nonnegative solutions of and counts the nonnegative solutions of that equation in which at least one variable is
If forces even, giving solutions. If with gives If forces giving The solutions and are each counted twice, so
The remainder upon division by is

Four lighthouses are located at points and The lighthouse at is kilometers from the lighthouse at the lighthouse at is kilometers from the lighthouse at and the lighthouse at is kilometers from the lighthouse at To an observer at the angle determined by the lights at and and the angle determined by the lights at and are equal. To an observer at the angle determined by the lights at and and the angle determined by the lights at and are equal. The number of kilometers from to is given by where and are relatively prime positive integers, and is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find
Answer: 96
Difficulty rating: 2990
Solution:
Since angle is right. Place The condition at says so lies on the bisector of angle Using the half-angle formula with so lies on the line
The condition at says bisects angle so ray is the reflection of ray over line which is the vertical line The reflection of is so lies on the line through and namely
Solving and gives Then so

For certain pairs of positive integers with there are exactly distinct positive integers such that Find the sum of all possible values of the product
Answer: 125
Difficulty rating: 2990
Solution:
The inequality is equivalent to Write with since (for no works), The integers in the interval are so there are of them, that is, or
For the left side is at least so Checking each case, only (so ) and (so ) work. These give and indeed and each contain exactly integers.
The sum of all possible values of is
