p4. For how many three-digit multiples of 1111 in the form abc\underline{abc} does the quadratic ax2+bx+cax^2 + bx + c have real roots?
p5. William draws a triangle ABC\vartriangle ABC with AB=3AB =\sqrt3, BC=1BC = 1, and AC=2AC = 2 on a piece of paper and cuts out ABC\vartriangle ABC. Let the angle bisector of ABC\angle ABC meet ACAC at point DD. He folds ABD\vartriangle ABD over BDBD. Denote the new location of point AA as AA'. After William folds ACD\vartriangle A'CD over CDCD, what area of the resulting figure is covered by three layers of paper?
p6. Compute (1)(2)(3)+(2)(3)(4)+...+(18)(19)(20)(1)(2)(3) + (2)(3)(4) + ... + (18)(19)(20).
