Platform: start at 0; Q1–15 are worth 2 each, Q16–25 worth 4 each; wrong/blank 0; maximum 70. Official SASMO reference: initial 15, Section A +2/−1/0 (correct/wrong/blank), Section B +4/0/0; maximum 85.
In the square below, E and F are the midpoints of AB and AD, respectively. If the side length of the square is 12 cm, find the area (in cm²) of the shaded region.
Use the exact midpoint and square relationships; do not measure the scan.
Angela built a pyramid using identical cubes. The pyramid is shown below from different angles. Angela paints the whole pyramid orange. How many cubes have exactly 3 faces painted orange?
Source convention: the centred solid has complete layers of 5 × 5, 3 × 3 and 1 identical cubes, with no hidden gaps. Paint every exposed exterior face, including the underside, without separating the cubes. Faces where cubes touch are not painted.
An ant is at one vertex of a cube and can only walk along its edges. It cannot walk along any edge more than once. If each edge is 8 cm long, what is the greatest distance (in cm) that the ant can walk before it cannot continue?
Dotted lines are hidden cube edges and may also be used. Vertices may be revisited; edges may not.
Amelia cuts a 75 cm by 30 cm rectangle into identical squares with no leftovers. If each square’s side length is a whole number of centimetres, what is the least number of squares she can get?
Use the usual edge-aligned square tiling shown by the source method.
The number in an unshaded square is obtained by adding the numbers connected to it from the row above. What number must be in the square with the question mark?
Each lower white square adds the two white squares immediately above-left and above-right; shaded squares are separators.
Father came home and found that one of his children had eaten the whole cake he put in the fridge. He asked each child who did it.
- Andy: Cindy ate the cake.
- Bob: Andy ate the cake.
- Cindy: Bob is lying.
- David: It was not Cindy who ate the cake.
- Erik: I did not eat the cake.
If only two children were telling the truth, who ate the cake?
Exactly one of the five named children ate the cake, and exactly two statements are true.
The graph below shows the number of books Mr Goh sold in a week. All horizontal lines are equally spaced. If he sold 999 books in total during the week, how many more books did he sell on Monday than on Sunday?
The bottom horizontal line is the zero baseline. Monday–Sunday are Thứ Hai, Thứ Ba, Thứ Tư, Thứ Năm, Thứ Sáu, Thứ Bảy, Chủ nhật.
Input: enter a whole number without units; leading zeroes from the paper answer grid may be omitted.
Randal subtracted 4 from a number and then divided by 5. Andy subtracted 5 from the same number and then divided by 4. They both got the same answer. What was the original number?
Input: enter a whole number without units; leading zeroes from the paper answer grid may be omitted.
