Problem 1

  • Paper
  • Answer

Six congruent circles form a ring with each circle externally tangent to two circles adjacent to it. All circles are internally tangent to a circle CC with radius 30. Let KK be the area of the region inside circle CC and outside of the six circles in the ring. Find ⌊K⌋\lfloor K \rfloor (the floor function).

  • Answer

The director of a marching band wishes to place the members into a formation that includes all of them and has no unfilled positions. If they are arranged in a square formation, there are 5 members left over. The director realizes that if he arranges the group in a formation with 7 more rows than columns, there are no members left over. Find the maximum number of members this band can have.

Problem 15

  • Paper
  • Answer

Triangle ABCABC has BC=20.BC=20. The incircle of the triangle evenly trisects the median AD.AD. If the area of the triangle is mnm \sqrt{n} where mm and nn are integers and nn is not divisible by the square of a prime, find m+n.m+n. Original wording of the problem: In △ABC\triangle ABC, AB=20AB = 20. The incircle of the triangle divides the median containing CC into three segments of equal length. Given that the area of △ABC\triangle ABC is mnm\sqrt{n}, where mm and nn are integers and nn is not divisible by the square of any prime, find m+nm + n.
