20x +19y = 2019

.
p8. Let

p

be a prime number such that both

2p -1

10p -1

are prime numbers. Find the sum of all possible values of

p

.
p9. In a square

ABCD

with side length

10

, let

E

be the intersection of

AC

and

BD

. There is a circle inscribed in triangle

ABE

with radius

r

and a circle circumscribed around triangle

ABE

with radius

R

. Compute

p10. The fraction

\frac{13}{37 \cdot 77}

can be written as a repeating decimal

0.a_1a_2...a_{n-1}a_n

n

digits in its shortest repeating decimal representation. Find

a_1 +a_2 +...+a_{n-1}+a_n

p11. Let point

E

be the midpoint of segment

AB

12

. Linda the ant is sitting at

A

. If there is a circle

O

of radius

3

centered at

p12. Euhan and Minjune are playing tennis. The first one to reach

25

points wins. Every point ends with Euhan calling the ball in or out. If the ball is called in, Minjune receives a point. If the ball is called out, Euhan receives a point. Euhan always makes the right call when the ball is out. However, he has a

\frac34

chance of making the right call when the ball is in, meaning that he has a

\frac14

chance of calling a ball out when it is in. The probability that the ball is in is equal to the probability that the ball is out. If Euhan won, determine the expected number of wrong callsmade by Euhan.
p13. Find the number of subsets of

\{1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6,7\}

which contain four consecutive numbers.
p14. Ezra and Richard are playing a game which consists of a series of rounds. In each round, one of either Ezra or Richard receives a point. When one of either Ezra or Richard has three more points than the other, he is declared the winner. Find the number of games which last eleven rounds. Two games are considered distinct if there exists a round in which the two games had different outcomes.
p15. There are

10

distinct subway lines in Boston, each of which consists of a path of stations. Using any

9

lines, any pair of stations are connected. However, among any

8

lines there exists a pair of stations that cannot be reached from one another. It happens that the number of stations is minimized so this property is satisfied. What is the average number of stations that each line passes through?
p16. There exist positive integers

k

and

3\nmid m

for which

1 -\frac12 + \frac13 - \frac14 +...+ \frac{1}{53}-\frac{1}{54}+\frac{1}{55}=\frac{3^k \times m}{28\times 29\times ... \times 54\times 55}.

Find the value

k

.
p17. Geronimo the giraffe is removing pellets from a box without replacement. There are

5

red pellets,

10

blue pellets, and

15

white pellets. Determine the probability that all of the red pellets are removed before all the blue pellets and before all of the white pellets are removed.
p18. Find the remainder when

70! \left( \frac{1}{4 \times 67}+ \frac{1}{5 \times 66}+...+ \frac{1}{66\times 5}+ \frac{1}{67\times 4} \right)

is divided by

71
