Problem Statement
[hide=E stands for Euclid , L stands for Lobachevsky]they had two problem sets under those two names
E1. How many positive divisors does have?
E2 / L2. Raymond wants to travel in a car with other (distinguishable) people. The car has seats: a driver’s seat, a passenger seat, and a row of seats behind them. If Raymond’s cello must be in a seat next to him, and he can’t drive, but every other person can, how many ways can everyone sit in the car?
E3 / L3. Peter wants to make fruit punch. He has orange juice ( orange juice), tropical mix ( orange juice, pineapple juice), and cherry juice ( cherry juice). If he wants his final mix to have orange juice, cherry juice, and pineapple juice, in what ratios should he mix the juices? Please write your answer in the form (orange):(tropical):(cherry), where the three integers are relatively prime.
E4 / L4. Points , and are chosen on a circle such that , ,and . What is ?
E5. , and are positive real numbers. If and , what is the minimum possible value of ?
E6 / L5. Circles and are drawn on a plane such that they intersect at two points. The centers of the two circles and the two intersection points lie on another circle, circle . If the distance between the centers of circles and is and the radius of circle is , what is the radius of circle ?
E7. Point is inside rectangle . If , , and , what is the length of ?
E8 / L6. For how many integers is divisible by ?
E9. How many of the perfect squares between and , inclusive, can be written as the sum of two triangular numbers? We define the th triangular number to be , where is a positive integer.
E10 / L7. A small sphere of radius is sitting on the ground externally tangent to a larger sphere, also sitting on the ground. If the line connecting the spheres’ centers makes a angle with the ground, what is the radius of the larger sphere?
E11 / L8. A classroom has chairs in a row and distinguishable students. The teacher wants to position the students in the seats in such a way that there is at least one empty chair between any two students. In how many ways can the teacher do this?
E12 / L9. Let there be real numbers and such that and . Find the value of .
E13 / L10. Find the number of ordered pairs of positive integers such that .
E14 / L11. Evaluate
E15 / L12. Xavier and Olivia are playing tic-tac-toe. Xavier goes first. How many ways can the game play out such that Olivia wins on her third move? The order of the moves matters.
L1. What is the sum of the positive divisors of ?
L13. Let be a convex quadrilateral with . Furthermore, let , and be the midpoints of , and , respectively. Let be the intersection of the diagonals of quadrilateral . Given that and , compute the area of .
L14. Evaluate to the nearest integer.
L15. In Hatland, each citizen wears either a green hat or a blue hat. Furthermore, each citizen belongs to exactly one neighborhood. On average, a green-hatted citizen has of his neighbors wearing green hats, and a blue-hatted citizen has of his neighbors wearing blue hats. Each neighborhood has a different number of total citizens. What is the ratio of green-hatted to blue-hatted citizens in Hatland? (A citizen is his own neighbor.)
