Question 1

$N$ is five-digit. Appending $1$ on its right gives $P$; placing $1$ on its left gives $Q$. If $P=3Q$, find $N$.

Question 2

In triangle $ABC$, $X$ lies on $AC$, $AX=15$ cm, $XC=5$ cm, $\angle AXB=60^\circ$, and $\angle ABC=2\angle AXB$. Find $BC$.

Question 3

Todd and Steven start at $A$ on a $950$ m track $AB$, running back and forth for $90$ minutes. Their speeds are $40$ and $150$ m/min. Count meetings when they run towards one another. At which such meeting are they closest to $B$?

Question 4

Group $A$: $\frac16,\frac1{12},\frac1{20},\frac1{30},\frac1{42}$. Group $B$: $\frac18,\frac1{24},\frac1{48},\frac1{80}$. Group $C$: $2.82,2.76,2.18,2.24$. Choose one number from each and multiply. Find the sum of all $80$ products.

Question 5

On the $8\times8$ board, draw a single closed non-self-intersecting path through every marked circle, moving between cells sharing a side. At a black circle turn, but go straight in both adjacent path cells. At a white circle go straight, but turn in at least one adjacent path cell.

Question 6

A $7\times7$ checkerboard has black corner squares. How many ways can six checkers occupy squares of the same colour, with no two in the same row or column?

Question 7

What is the maximum number of different positive integers not exceeding $2008$ that can be selected so the sum of any two is not divisible by their difference?

Question 8

Cut a $7\times7\times7$ cube into cubes of sizes $4\times4\times4$, $3\times3\times3$, $2\times2\times2$, or $1\times1\times1$. Find the minimum number of smaller cubes.

Question 9

Place digits $0$ through $9$ once each in the ten circles shown so the sums at the three vertices of all six upward-pointing shaded triangles are equal.

Question 10

A frog starts at $0$ on a line and must reach $2008$ in exactly $19$ jumps of lengths $1^2,2^2,\ldots,19^2$ in order, choosing positive or negative direction each time. What is the earliest possible last negative jump?
