One straight line through the region inside a circle can cut it into two parts, as shown. If the circle is cut into 232 parts, what is the least number of straight lines that must be drawn through the region?
Lines are straight and may be placed freely; count regions inside the circle. Enter one whole number.
Each position in a four-digit PIN code can be any digit from 0 to 9. How many possible codes are there? Leading zeros and repeated digits are allowed. The standalone source phrases this as the number of possible outcomes when guessing a four-digit ATM PIN; the mathematical conditions are the same.
Ari, Barry and Carrie chose a number. Ari said it was a multiple of 3, 5 and 11. Barry said it was a multiple of 2 and 7. Carrie said it had 4 digits, one of which was 9, but none of which were 6. Find the last 3 digits of the number.
Karen can paint a wall in 2.5 hours. Stephanie takes 1.25 hours to paint the same size wall. How many minutes will it take for Karen and Stephanie working together to paint the same wall?
Assume constant individual painting rates, with their rates adding when they work together.
Enter only the whole-number answer, without units.
In the cryptarithm MINED + DENIM, different letters represent different digits. Find the last three digits of the largest possible sum. Both addends are five-digit numbers. For example, if the sum were 1234, write 234.
Enter exactly the last three digits, without spaces.
Azma took part in a gymnastics competition. When the ranking list arrived, no one had been disqualified. She was three places ahead of the first contestant in the lower half and three places behind the bronze medalist. First prize is gold, second is silver, and third is bronze. How many people competed?
Clarification for this edition: ranks have no ties; “three places” means a rank difference of 3; the upper and lower halves have equal numbers of contestants.
Each of the whole numbers 1 through 9 is written on 9 cards, one number per card. Three cards are dealt to each of the three players. The sum of Player One's cards is 15. The sum of Player Two's cards is 23. What is the highest single card Player Three could have?
Enter only the whole-number answer, without units.
The cube shown is constructed from identical rectangular slabs. How many slabs does the cube contain? The divisions in the original drawing indicate the same unit scale on all three directions; there are no gaps or overlaps.
A dancer is allowed to step on only one of the following tiles: 1 blue, 1 green, 2 red, 2 orange and 3 grey. The grey tiles are sticky and make the dancer stop dancing. If the chance of getting stuck on the very first step is $m/n$, find $m+n$.
**Assumptions for this self-study exercise:** Each of the nine tiles is equally likely to be chosen, and $m/n$ is written in lowest terms with positive whole-number numerator and denominator. The original question does not state these conditions.
