Each third-grade classroom at Pearl Creek Elementary has $18$ students and $2$ pet rabbits. How many more students than rabbits are there in all $4$ of the third-grade classrooms?

A circle of radius $5$ is inscribed in a rectangle as shown. The ratio of the length of the rectangle to its width is $2:1.$ What is the area of the rectangle?

For a science project, Sammy observed a chipmunk and a squirrel stashing acorns in holes. The chipmunk hid $3$ acorns in each of the holes it dug. The squirrel hid $4$ acorns in each of the holes it dug. They each hid the same number of acorns, although the squirrel needed $4$ fewer holes. How many acorns did the chipmunk hide?

Suppose that the euro is worth $1.30$ dollars. If Diana has $500$ dollars and Étienne has $400$ euros, by what percent is the value of Étienne’s money greater than the value of Diana’s money?

Two integers have a sum of $26.$ When two more integers are added to the first two integers the sum is $41.$ Finally when two more integers are added to the sum of the previous four integers the sum is $57.$ What is the minimum number of even integers among the $6$ integers?

In order to estimate the value of $x-y$ where $x$ and $y$ are real numbers with $x \gt y \gt 0,$ Xiaoli rounded $x$ up by a small amount, rounded $y$ down by the same amount, and then subtracted her rounded values. Which of the following statements is necessarily correct?

Small lights are hung on a string $6$ inches apart in the order red, red, green, green, green, red, red, green, green, green, and so on continuing this pattern of $2$ red lights followed by $3$ green lights. How many feet separate the $3$rd red light and the $21$st red light?

Note: $1$ foot is equal to $12$ inches.

A dessert chef prepares the dessert for every day of a week starting with Sunday. The dessert each day is either cake, pie, ice cream, or pudding. The same dessert may not be served two days in a row. There must be cake on Friday because of a birthday. How many different dessert menus for the week are possible?

It takes Clea $60$ seconds to walk down an escalator when it is not operating, and only $24$ seconds to walk down the escalator when it is operating. How many seconds does it take Clea to ride down the operating escalator when she just stands on it?

What is the area of the polygon whose vertices are the points of intersection of the curves $x^2 + y^2 = 25$ and $(x - 4)^2 + 9y^2 = 81?$

In the equation below, $A$ and $B$ are consecutive positive integers, and $A,$ $B,$ and $A + B$ represent number bases: $$
132_A + 43_B = 69_{A+B}.
$$ What is $A + B?$

How many sequences of zeros and/or ones of length $20$ have all the zeros consecutive, or all the ones consecutive, or both?

Two parabolas have equations $y = x^2 + ax + b$ and $y = x^2 + cx + d,$ where $a,$ $b,$ $c,$ and $d$ are integers (not necessarily different), each chosen independently by rolling a fair six-sided die. What is the probability that the parabolas have at least one point in common?

Bernardo and Silvia play the following game. An integer between $0$ and $999,$ inclusive, is selected and given to Bernardo. Whenever Bernardo receives a number, he doubles it and passes the result to Silvia. Whenever Silvia receives a number, she adds $50$ to it and passes the result to Bernardo. The winner is the last person who produces a number less than $1000.$ Let $N$ be the smallest initial number that results in a win for Bernardo. What is the sum of the digits of $N?$

Jesse cuts a circular paper disk of radius $12$ along two radii to form two sectors, the smaller having a central angle of $120$ degrees. He makes two circular cones, using each sector to form the lateral surface of a cone. What is the ratio of the volume of the smaller cone to that of the larger?

Amy, Beth, and Jo listen to four different songs and discuss which ones they like. No song is liked by all three. Furthermore, for each of the three pairs of the girls, there is at least one song liked by those two girls but disliked by the third. In how many different ways is this possible?

Square $PQRS$ lies in the first quadrant. Points $(3, 0),$ $(5, 0),$ $(7, 0),$ and $(13, 0)$ lie on lines $SP,$ $RQ,$ $PQ,$ and $SR,$ respectively. What is the sum of the coordinates of the center of the square $PQRS?$

Let $(a_1, a_2, \ldots, a_{10})$ be a list of the first $10$ positive integers such that for each $2 \le i \le 10$ either $a_i + 1$ or $a_i - 1$ or both appear somewhere before $a_i$ in the list. How many such lists are there?

A unit cube has vertices $P_1,$ $P_2,$ $P_3,$ $P_4,$ $P_1',$ $P_2',$ $P_3',$ and $P_4'.$ Vertices $P_2,$ $P_3,$ and $P_4$ are adjacent to $P_1,$ and for $1 \le i \le 4,$ vertices $P_i$ and $P_i'$ are opposite to each other. A regular octahedron has one vertex in each of the segments $P_1P_2,$ $P_1P_3,$ $P_1P_4,$ $P_1'P_2',$ $P_1'P_3',$ and $P_1'P_4'.$ What is the octahedron’s side length?

A trapezoid has side lengths $3,$ $5,$ $7,$ and $11.$ The sum of all the possible areas of the trapezoid can be written in the form of $r_1\sqrt{n_1} + r_2\sqrt{n_2} + r_3,$ where $r_1,$ $r_2,$ and $r_3$ are rational numbers and $n_1$ and $n_2$ are positive integers not divisible by the square of a prime. What is the greatest integer less than or equal to $$
r_1 + r_2 + r_3 + n_1 + n_2?
$$
