AIME 2025a Problem 10

  • Paper
  • Answer

The 2727 cells of a 3×93 \times 9 grid are filled in using the numbers 11 through 99 so that each row contains 99 different numbers, and each of the three 3×33 \times 3 blocks heavily outlined in the example below contains 99 different numbers, as in the first three rows of a Sudoku puzzle. [asy] unitsize(20); add(grid(9,3)); draw((0,0)--(9,0)--(9,3)--(0,3)--cycle, linewidth(2)); draw((3,0)--(3,3), linewidth(2)); draw((6,0)--(6,3), linewidth(2)); real a = 0.5; label("5",(a,a)); label("6",(1+a,a)); label("1",(2+a,a)); label("8",(3+a,a)); label("4",(4+a,a)); label("7",(5+a,a)); label("9",(6+a,a)); label("2",(7+a,a)); label("3",(8+a,a)); label("3",(a,1+a)); label("7",(1+a,1+a)); label("9",(2+a,1+a)); label("5",(3+a,1+a)); label("2",(4+a,1+a)); label("1",(5+a,1+a)); label("6",(6+a,1+a)); label("8",(7+a,1+a)); label("4",(8+a,1+a)); label("4",(a,2+a)); label("2",(1+a,2+a)); label("8",(2+a,2+a)); label("9",(3+a,2+a)); label("6",(4+a,2+a)); label("3",(5+a,2+a)); label("1",(6+a,2+a)); label("7",(7+a,2+a)); label("5",(8+a,2+a)); [/asy] The number of different ways to fill such a grid can be written as pa⋅qb⋅rc⋅sdp^a \cdot q^b \cdot r^c \cdot s^d where pp, qq, rr, and ss are distinct prime numbers and aa, bb, cc, dd are positive integers. Find p⋅a+q⋅b+r⋅c+s⋅dp \cdot a + q \cdot b + r \cdot c + s \cdot d.
