p17. Find all ordered pairs of integers that satisfy
p18. Ben rolls the frustum-shaped piece of candy (shown below) in such a way that the lateral area is always in contact with the table. He rolls the candy until it returns to its original position and orientation. Given that and , find the length of the path traced by .
Part 7
p19. In their science class, Adam, Chris, Eddie and Sam are independently and randomly assigned an integer grade between and inclusive. Given that they each have a distinct grade, what is the expected value of the maximum grade among their four grades?
p20. Let be a regular tetrahedron with side length . Let point be the foot of the perpendicular

Part 9
p25. Submit a prime between and , inclusive. If you don’t, or if you submit the same number as another team’s submission, you will receive points. Otherwise, your score will be , where is the positive difference between your submission and the closest valid submission made by another team.
p26. Sam, Derek, Jacob, andMuztaba are eating a very large pizza with slices. Due to dietary preferences, Sam will only eat an even number of slices, Derek will only eat a multiple of slices, Jacob will only eat a multiple of slices, andMuztaba will only eat a multiple of slices. How many ways are there for Sam, Derek, Jacob, andMuztaba to eat the pizza, given that all slices are identical and order of slices eaten is irrelevant? If your answer is and the correct answer is , the number of points you receive will be: irrelevant? If your answer is and the correct answer is , the number of points you receive will be:
p27. Let denote the number of perfect square divisors of . Compute
If your answer is and the correct answer is , the number of points you recieve will be
