Problem 4

  • Paper
  • Answer

Let SS be the set of positive integers NN with the property that the last four digits of NN are 2020,2020, and when the last four digits are removed, the result is a divisor of N.N. For example, 42,02042,020 is in SS because 44 is a divisor of 42,020.42,020. Find the sum of all the digits of all the numbers in S.S. For example, the number 42,02042,020 contributes 4+2+0+2+0=84+2+0+2+0=8 to this total.

Problem 7

  • Paper
  • Answer

A club consisting of 1111 men and 1212 women needs to choose a committee from among its members so that the number of women on the committee is one more than the number of men on the committee. The committee could have as few as 11 member or as many as 2323 members. Let NN be the number of such committees that can be formed. Find the sum of the prime numbers that divide N.N.

Problem 8

  • Paper
  • Answer

A bug walks all day and sleeps all night. On the first day, it starts at point OO, faces east, and walks a distance of 55 units due east. Each night the bug rotates 60∘60^\circ counterclockwise. Each day it walks in this new direction half as far as it walked the previous day. The bug gets arbitrarily close to the point PP. Then OP2=mnOP^2=\tfrac{m}{n}, where mm and nn are relatively prime positive integers. Find m+nm+n.
