2 Ariel purchased a certain amount of apricots. 90% of the apricot weight was water. She dried the apricots until just 60% of the apricot weight was water. 15 kg of water was lost in the process. What was the original weight of the apricots (in kg)?

3 Notice that 1 2 = 1, 1 (2 3) = 2, and 1 (2 (3 4)) = 2. What is the value of

1 (2 (3 (4 . . . 100))) . . . )?

4 You are preparing skewers of meatballs, where each skewer has either 4 or 6 meatballs on it. Altogether you use 32 skewers and 150 meatballs. How many skewers have only 4 meatballs on them?

5 The numbers 1, 2, 3, . . . , 100 are written in a row. We first remove the first number and every second number after that. With the remaining numbers, we again remove the first number and every second number after that. We repeat this process until one number remains. What is this number?

6 P and Q are whole numbers so that the ratio P : Q is equal to 2 : 3. If you add 100, 200 to each of P and Q, the new ratio becomes equal to 3 : 4. What is P?

10 The number N = 111 . . . 1 consists of 2006 ones. It is exactly divisible by 11. How many zeros N are there in the quotient 11 ?

11 This mock test, prepared by Thun from HEXAGON centre in Hanoi, consists of 30 problems. Pupil A gets a score that is an odd multiple of 5 and pupil B gets a score that is a even multiple of 7. The mark of each problem is an integer and each of the two pupils score is an integer the difference of which is 3 and sum is less than 100. Find the higher score of the pupils.

12 In a large hospital with several operating rooms, ten people are each waiting for a 45 minute operation. The first operation starts at 8:00 a.m., the second at 8:15 a.m., and each of the other operations starts at 15 minute intervals thereafter. When does the last operation end?

13 Each of the integers 226 and 318 have digits whose product is 24. How many three-digit positive integers have digits whose product is 24?
