Problem Statement
[hide=B stands for Bernoulli, G stands for Germain]they had two problem sets under those two names Set 4
B16 / G11 Let triangle be an equilateral triangle with side length . If point is on and point is on , find the minimum possible value of .
B17 / G12 Find the smallest positive integer with at least seven divisors.
B18 / G13 Square is inscribed in a circle. The circle is inscribed in Square . If the circle has a radius of , what is the ratio between a side length of Square and a side length of Square ?
B19 / G14 Billy Bob has distinguishable books that he wants to place on a shelf. How many ways can he order them if he does not want his two math books to be next to each other?
B20 / G15 Six people make statements as follows:
Person says “At least one of us is lying.”
Person says “At least two of us are lying.”
Person says “At least three of us are lying.”
Person says “At least four of us are lying.”
Person says “At least five of us are lying.”
Person says “At least six of us are lying.”
How many are lying?
Set 5
B21 / G16 If and are between and , find the ordered pair which maximizes .
B22 / G17 If I take all my money and divide it into piles, I have dollars left. If I take all my money and divide it into piles, I have dollars left. If I take all my money and divide it into piles, I have dollars left. What’s the least amount of money I could have?
B23 / G18 A quadratic equation has two distinct prime number solutions and its coefficients are integers that sum to a prime number. Find the sum of the solutions to this equation.
B24 / G20 A regular -sided polygon is inscribed in a circle. Gaz then chooses vertices of the polygon at random and connects them to form a triangle. What is the probability that this triangle is right?
B25 / G22 A book has at most chapters, and each chapter is either pages long or has a length that is a power of (including ). What is the least positive integer for which the book cannot have pages?
Set 6
B26 / G26 What percent of the problems on the individual, team, and guts rounds for both divisions have integer answers?
B27 / G27 Estimate .
B28 / G28 Let be the center of a circle with radius . Let be randomly selected on . Let , be the midpoints of sides , , and let , intersect at . What is the probability that ?
B29 / G29 Let be the remainder when is divided by . What is ?
B30 / G30 Bongo flips coins. Call a run of heads a sequence of consecutive heads. Say a run is maximal if it isn’t contained in another run of heads. For example, if he gets , he’d have maximal runs of length . Bongo squares the lengths of all his maximal runs and adds them to get a number . What is the expected value of ? - - - - - -
G19 Let be a square of side length . Let be the midpoint of and be the midpoint of . Let the intersection of and be . Find the area of quadrilateral .
G21 Quadrilateral has . If , , and , what is length ?
G23 is an equilateral triangle of side length . Three unit circles , , and lie in the plane such that passes through while and are centered at and , respectively. Given that is externally tangent to both and , and the center of is between point and line , find .
G24 For some integers , the quadratic function has two distinct positive integer roots, exactly one out of which is a prime and at least one of which is in the form for some nonnegative integer . What is the sum of all possible values of ?
G25 In a triangle, let the altitudes concur at . Given that , , and the circumradius is , calculate
