1. Forestria is a world made when two regular tetrahedrons of side length

100 km are combined among a common face. Fox lives on the center of
one face, and Squirrel lives on the center of another face that does not
share an edge with Foxs face. Fox wishes to ambush Squirrel, and can
only travel on the surface of Forestria. What is the shortest distance, in
km, that Fox must travel in order to reach Squirrels lair?

2. Twenty red points are equally spaced on the circumference of a circle.

How many right triangles are there whose vertices are all red points?

3. Let S be the sum of all positive integer k such that k is relatively prime
n
n+1
to 100 and k is less
for a positive integer n,
 than 100. If 10 S < 10
S
then find 10n2 .

6. Triangle ABC has AB = 20. Point P is chosen outside of 4ABC such

that quadrilateral AP BC has positive integer side lengths and the area
of 4ABP is a positive integer. As P s location varies to satisfy these two
conditions, the minimum possible perimeter of AP BC is 100. Find the
perimeter of 4ABC.

7. Let x 10 and y 10 be integers such that x + y + 11+ x y + 2 = 5.

4. Let 4ABC be a equilateral triangle with side length 6, and let be

its circumcircle. Circle A is internally tangent to and tangent to the
side BC at its midpoint. Let OA be the center of A . OB and OC are
defined similarly. Let P denote the region comprised of the intersection
of triangles OA OB OC and ABC. The ratio of the area of P to the area
of 4ABC can be expressed in the form m
n , where m and n are relatively
prime positive integers. Find m + n.

5. A sequence a1 , a2 , a3 , ..., a10 of integers is said to be shiny if it satisfies the

following conditions:

11. Let x be an integer with 10 x 99. M is a positive integer such that

for every pair of even positive integers (i, j), the difference xi xj is a
multiple of M . Find the remainder when the maximum possible value of
M is divided by 1000.

12. A non-rectangle parallelogram is called integrized if it has integer sides

and integer altitudes. How many non-congruent integrized parallelograms
have a perimeter of 1000?

13. Call a polynomial P (x) 3-star if all of its coefficients are nonnegative
integers and has maximum degree 3. (For example, x3 + 12x + 19 and
x2 +8x are 3-star). Furthermore, consider a 3-star polynomial extra special
if all the coefficients are at most 20, and P (1) = 16. How many 3-star
polynomials are also extra special?

14. How many non-decreasing sequences a0 , a1 , a2 , a3 , a4 , a5 , a6 of nonnegative integers are there satisfying ai i for i = 0, 2, 4, 6?

a point on side BC, and let the inradius of 4CXA be r. Let Y be a point
on the angle bisector of XAB and outside triangle 4ABC such that the
distance from Y to line AB is the same as the distance from Y to line
BC. If this distance is equal to 3r

of the form a c b , where a, b, c are positive integers with gcd(a, c) = 1 and

b not divisible by the square of any prime. Find a + b + c.
