A rectangular sheet of paper $PQRS$ has width $PQ$ twice the height $QR$. The paper is folded along a line $PX$ such that $Q$ lies on top of $Q^{\prime}$, a point on $RS$. Angle $SPX$ is
Ten students sit a test consisting of 20 questions. Two students get 8 questions correct and one student gets 9 questions correct. The remaining seven students all get at least 10 questions correct and the average number of questions answered correctly by these seven students is an integer. If the average number of questions answered correctly by all ten students is also an integer, then that integer is

Ten identical solid gold spheres will be melted down and recast into a number of smaller identical spheres whose diameter is 80% of the original ones. Ignoring any excess gold which may be left over, how many smaller spheres will be made?
A regular decagon has 10 sides of length 1. Four vertices are chosen to make a convex quadrilateral that has all side lengths greater than 1. How many non-congruent quadrilaterals can be formed this way?
The increasing sequence of positive integers $1,2,4,\ldots$ has the property that each term from the third onwards is the next positive integer which is not equal to the sum of any two previous terms of the sequence. How many terms of the sequence are less than 2016?
