p1. Suppose that xx and yy are positive real numbers such that log2x=logxy=logy256\log_2 x = \log_x y = \log_y 256. Find xyxy.
p2. Let the roots of x2+7x+11x^2 + 7x + 11 be rr and ss. If f(x) is the monic polynomial with roots rs+r+srs + r + s and r2+s2r^2 + s^2, what is f(3)f(3)?
p3. Call a positive three digit integer ABC\overline{ABC} fancy if ABC=(AB)211C\overline{ABC} = (\overline{AB})^2 - 11 \cdot \overline{C}. Find the sum of all fancy integers.
p4. In triangle ABCABC, points DD and EE are on line segments BCBC and ACAC, respectively, such that ADAD and BEBE intersect at HH. Suppose that AC=12AC = 12, BC=30BC = 30, and EC=6EC = 6. Triangle BECBEC has area 4545 and triangle ADCADC has area 7272, and lines CHCH and ABAB meet at FF. If BF2BF^2 can be expressed as abcd\frac{a-b\sqrt{c}}{d} for positive integers aa, bb, cc, dd with cc squarefree and gcd(a,b,d)=1gcd(a, b, d) = 1, then find a+b+c+da + b + c + d.
p5. Find the minimum possible integer yy such that y>100y > 100 and there exists a positive integer xx such that x2+18x+yx^2 + 18x + y is a perfect fourth power.
p6. Let ABCDABCD be a quadrilateral such that AB=2AB = 2, CD=4CD = 4, BC=ADBC = AD, and ADC+BCD=120o\angle ADC + \angle BCD = 120^o. If the sum of the maximum and minimum possible areas of quadrilateral ABCDABCD can be expressed as aba\sqrt{b} for positive integers a,ba, b with bb squarefree, then find a+ba + b.
