Problem Statement

Set 6
p16. Let xx and yy be non-negative integers. We say point (x,y)(x, y) is square if x2+yx^2 + y is a perfect square. Find the sum of the coordinates of all distinct square points which also satisfy x2+y64x^2 + y \le 64.
p17. Two integers aa and bb are randomly chosen from the set {1,2,13,17,19,87,115,121}\{1, 2, 13, 17, 19, 87, 115, 121\}, with a>ba > b. What is the expected value of the number of factors of abab?
p18. Marnie the Magical Cello is jumping on nonnegative integers on number line. She starts at 00 and jumps following two specific rules. For each jump she can either jump forward by 11 or jump to the next multiple of 44 (the next multiple must be strictly greater than the number she is currently on). How many ways are there for her to jump to 20222022? (Two ways are considered distinct only if the sequence of numbers she lands on is different.)
PS. You should use hide for answers.
