Question 1

Positive integers $a,b,c$ satisfy $ab+bc+ca+2(a+b+c)=8045$ and $abc-a-b-c=-2$. Find $a+b+c$.

Question 2

A class contains students who always lie and students who never lie. Everyone knows everyone else’s type. Today each student states the type of every other student, producing the answer “liar” two hundred forty times. Yesterday the same procedure with one student absent produced “liar” two hundred sixteen times. How many students are present today?

Question 3

The factors $1!\cdot2!\cdots2011!\cdot2012!$ are written on a board. Which factorial factor can be erased so the product of the remaining factors is an integer square? Here $n!$ is the product of all positive integers at most $n$.

Question 4

$B,E$ lie on $AD,AC$ of triangle $ACD$, and $BC,DE$ intersect at $F$. Triangles $ABC,AED$ are congruent, with $AB=AE=1$ cm, $AC=AD=3$ cm. Find the area ratio $[ABFE]:[ADC]$.

Question 5

A positive integer $n$ has exactly four positive divisors, including one and itself. Moreover $n+1$ is four times the sum of its other two divisors. Find $n$.

Question 6

Jo tells Kate that three positive integers have product thirty-six and also tells their sum, yet Kate cannot determine the three numbers. What is their sum?

Question 7

Circles $A,B$ of radius one centimetre touch externally. Equal-radius circles $P,Q,R,S$ have the shown external tangencies: $P$ touches $A,B,Q,S$; $Q$ touches $P,B,R$; $R$ touches $A,B,Q,S$; $S$ touches $P,A,R$. Find their common radius in centimetres.

Question 8

Find the smallest positive multiple of both seven and eight whose digits are all seven or eight, with at least one of each.

Question 9

A triangle has side lengths fifty, one hundred twenty and one hundred thirty centimetres. Find the area, inside and outside the triangle, of all points at distance two centimetres from at least one point on its sides. Use $\pi=22/7$.

Question 10

Count the eight-digit positive integers using only zero and one, beginning with one, whose even-position digit sum equals the odd-position digit sum.

Question 11

A checker on an infinite grid of unit squares first moves one square north. Odd-numbered moves are north or south; even-numbered moves east or west. On move $n$, it moves $n$ squares in one direction. After twelve moves, what is the minimum distance between the centres of its initial and final squares, in centimetres?

Question 12

Real numbers $a,b,c$ satisfy $\frac{a(b-c)}{b(c-a)}=\frac{b(c-a)}{c(b-a)}=k\gt 0$. Find $\lfloor k\rfloor$.

Question 13

The diagonals $AC,BD$ of quadrilateral $ABCD$ intersect at $E$. If $AE=CE$ and $\angle ABC=\angle ADC$, must $ABCD$ be a parallelogram?

Question 14

For $a=1,2,\ldots,2011$, the roots of $x^2-2x-a^2-a=0$ are $\alpha_a,\beta_a$. Evaluate $\sum_{a=1}^{2011}(1/\alpha_a+1/\beta_a)$.

Question 15

Fifteen rays originate at one point. What is the maximum number of obtuse angles they can form? The angle between any two rays is taken to be at most one hundred eighty degrees.
