p1. A robot is at position 00 on a number line. Each second, it randomly moves either one unit in the positive direction or one unit in the negative direction, with probability 12\frac12 of doing each. Find the probability that after 44 seconds, the robot has returned to position 00.
p2. How many positive integers n20n \le 20 are such that the greatest common divisor of nn and 2020 is a prime number?
p3. A sequence of points A1A_1, A2A_2, A3A_3, ......, A7A_7 is shown in the diagram below, with A1A2A_1A_2 parallel to A6A7A_6A_7. We have A2A3A4=113o\angle A_2A_3A_4 = 113^o, A3A4A5=100o\angle A_3A_4A_5 = 100^o, and A4A5A6=122o\angle A_4A_5A_6 = 122^o.

p4. Compute log3(log33333log33333)\log_3 \left( \frac{\log_3 3^{3^{3^3}}}{\log_{3^3} 3^{3^3}} \right)
p5. In an 8×88\times 8 chessboard, a pawn has been placed on the third column and fourth row, and all the other squares are empty. It is possible to place nine rooks on this board such that no two rooks attack each other. How many ways can this be done? (Recall that a rook can attack any square in its row or column provided all the squares in between are empty.)
p6. Suppose that a,ba, b are positive real numbers with a>ba > b and ab=8ab = 8. Find the minimum value of a2+b2ab\frac{a^2+b^2}{a-b} .
p7. A cone of radius 44 and height 77 has AA as its apex and BB as the center of its base. A second cone of radius 33 and height 77 has BB as its apex and AA as the center of its base. What is the volume of the region contained in both cones?
p8. Let a1a_1, a2a_2, a3a_3, a4a_4, a5a_5, a6a_6 be a permutation of the numbers 11, 22, 33, 44, 55, 66. We say aia_i is visible if aia_i is greater than any number that comes before it; that is, aj<aia_j < a_i for all j<ij < i. For example, the permutation 22, 44, 11, 33, 66, 55 has three visible elements: 22, 44, 66. How many such permutations have exactly two visible elements?
p9. Let f(x)=x+2x2+3x3+4x4+5x5+6x6f(x) = x+2x^2 +3x^3 +4x^4 +5x^5 +6x^6, and let S=[f(6)]5+[f(10)]3+[f(15)]2S = [f(6)]^5 +[f(10)]^3 +[f(15)]^2. Compute the remainder when SS is divided by 3030.
p10. In triangle ABCABC, the angle bisector from AA and the perpendicular bisector of BCBC meet at point DD, the angle bisector from BB and the perpendicular bisector of ACAC meet at point EE, and the perpendicular bisectors of BCBC and ACAC meet at point FF. Given that ADF=5o\angle ADF = 5^o, BEF=10o\angle BEF = 10^o, and AC=3AC = 3, find the length of DFDF. https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/6/d/6bb8409678a4c44135d393b9b942f8defb198e.png
p11. Let F0=0F_0 = 0, F1=1F_1 = 1, and Fn=Fn1+Fn2F_n = F_{n-1} + F_{n-2}. How many subsets SS of {1,2,...,2011}\{1, 2,..., 2011\} are there such that F20121=iSFi?F_{2012} - 1 =\sum_{i \in S}F_i?
p12. Let aka_k be the number of perfect squares mm such that k3m<(k+1)3k^3 \le m < (k + 1)^3. For example, a2=3a_2 = 3 since three squares mm satisfy 23m<332^3 \le m < 3^3, namely 99, 1616, and 2525. Computek=099kak, \sum^{99}_{k=0} \lfloor \sqrt{k}\rfloor a_k, where x\lfloor x\rfloor denotes the largest integer less than or equal to xx.
p13. Suppose that a,b,c,d,e,fa, b, c, d, e, f are real numbers such that a+b+c+d+e+f=0,a + b + c + d + e + f = 0, a+2b+3c+4d+2e+2f=0,a + 2b + 3c + 4d + 2e + 2f = 0, a+3b+6c+9d+4e+6f=0,a + 3b + 6c + 9d + 4e + 6f = 0, a+4b+10c+16d+8e+24f=0,a + 4b + 10c + 16d + 8e + 24f = 0, a+5b+15c+25d+16e+120f=42.a + 5b + 15c + 25d + 16e + 120f = 42.

p14. In Cartesian space, three spheres centered at (2,5,4)(-2, 5, 4), (2,1,4)(2, 1, 4), and (4,7,5)(4, 7, 5) are all tangent to the xyxy-plane. The xyxy-plane is one of two planes tangent to all three spheres; the second plane can be written as the equation ax+by+cz=dax + by + cz = d for some real numbers aa, bb, cc, dd. Find ca\frac{c}{a} .

2012 Spring CHMMC Mixer Round - Caltech Harvey Mudd Mathematics Competition

Part 1
You might think this round is broken after solving some of these problems, but everything is intentional.
1.1. The number nn can be represented uniquely as the sum of 66 distinct positive integers. Find nn.
1.2. Let ABCABC be a triangle with AB=BCAB = BC. The altitude from AA intersects line BCBC at DD. Suppose BD=5BD = 5 and AC2=1188AC^2 = 1188. Find ABAB.
1.3. A lemonade stand analyzes its earning and operations. For the previous month it had a \45dollarbudgettodividebetweenproductionandadvertising.Ifitspent45 dollar budget to divide between production and advertising. If it spent kdollarsonproduction,itcouldmake dollars on production, it could make 2k - 12glassesoflemonade.Ifitspent glasses of lemonade. If it spent kdollarsonadvertising,itcouldselleachglassatanaveragepriceof dollars on advertising, it could sell each glass at an average price of 15 + 5kcents.Theamountitmadeinsalesforthepreviousmonthwas cents. The amount it made in sales for the previous month was \40.5040.50. Assuming the stand spent its entire budget on production and advertising, what was the absolute di erence between the amount spent on production and the amount spent on advertising?
1.4. Let AA be the number of di erent ways to tile a 1×n1 \times n rectangle with tiles of size 1×11 \times 1, 1×31 \times 3, and 1×61 \times 6. Let B be the number of different ways to tile a 1×n1 \times n rectangle with tiles of size 1×21 \times 2 and 1×51 \times 5, where there are 2 different colors available for the 1×21 \times 2 tiles. Given that A=BA = B, find nn. (Two tilings that are rotations or reflections of each other are considered distinct.)
1.5. An integer n0n \ge 0 is such that nn when represented in base 22 is written the same way as 2n2n is in base 55. Find nn.
1.6. Let xx be a positive integer such that 33, log6(12x) \log_6(12x), log6(18x)\log_6(18x) form an arithmetic progression in some order. Find xx.
Part 2
Oops, it looks like there were some intentional printing errors and some of the numbers from these problems got removed. Any \blacksquare that you see was originally some positive integer, but now its value is no longer readable. Still, if things behave like they did for Part 1, maybe you can piece the answers together.
2.1. The number nn can be represented uniquely as the sum of \blacksquare distinct positive integers. Find nn.
2.2. Let ABCABC be a triangle with AB=BCAB = BC. The altitude from AA intersects line BCBC at DD. Suppose BD=BD = \blacksquare and AC2=1536AC^2 = 1536. Find ABAB.
2.3. A lemonade stand analyzes its earning and operations. For the previous month it had a $50\$50 dollar budget to divide between production and advertising. If it spent k dollars on production, it could make 2k22k - 2 glasses of lemonade. If it spent kk dollars on advertising, it could sell each glass at an average price of 25+5k25 + 5k cents. The amount it made in sales for the previous month was $\$\blacksquare. Assuming the stand spent its entire budget on production and advertising, what was the absolute di erence between the amount spent on production and the amount spent on advertising?
2.4. Let AA be the number of different ways to tile a 1×n1 \times n rectangle with tiles of size 1×1 \times \blacksquare, 1×1 \times \blacksquare, and 1×1 \times \blacksquare. Let BB be the number of different ways to tile a 1×n1\times n rectangle with tiles of size 1×1 \times \blacksquare and 1×1 \times \blacksquare, where there are \blacksquare different colors available for the 1×1 \times \blacksquare tiles. Given that A=BA = B, find nn. (Two tilings that are rotations or reflections of each other are considered distinct.)
2.5. An integer nn \ge \blacksquare is such that nn when represented in base 99 is written the same way as 2n2n is in base \blacksquare. Find nn.
2.6. Let xx be a positive integer such that 11, log96(6x)\log_{96}(6x), log96(x)\log_{96}(\blacksquare x) form an arithmetic progression in some order. Find xx.
