A boat travels downstream from $A$ to $B$ in $4$ hours and upstream from $B$ to $A$ in $8$ hours. How many hours does a patch of water hyacinth take to drift from $A$ to $B$?
Among the following numbers, which is irrational? $\sqrt{(-2)^4}$; $\sqrt{3\dfrac1{16}}$; $\dfrac{\sqrt{\pi^2}}{|{-\pi}|}$; $\sqrt{2250}$; $(\sqrt3)^4$.
Five teams enter a single round-robin football tournament. In each match the winner receives $3$ points and the loser $0$; in a draw each team receives $1$ point. After some matches, no team has $0$ points and all five scores are different. What is the smallest possible number of matches played?
An engine is tested as follows. On the first road segment, the car travels at speed $v$. The second segment is twice as long as the first and is travelled at speed $2v$. The third is three times as long as the first and is travelled at speed $3v$. The car continues in this way: the $n$th segment is $n$ times as long as the first and is travelled at speed $nv$. Find $n$ so that the average speed over all the segments is $7$ times the average speed on the first segment. The speed is constant on each segment.
The odd numbers $1,3,5,\ldots,99$ are written on a board. At each turn, erase any two numbers and write the remainder obtained when their sum is divided by $7$. What number remains after $49$ turns?
Let $A=11\times12\times13\times\cdots\times20$ and $B=21\times22\times23\times\cdots\times30$. Find the remainder when $B-A-2022$ is divided by $1001$.
In triangle $ABC$, $\angle B=40^\circ$ and $\angle C=80^\circ$. A line parallel to $AB$ meets $CA$ and $CB$ at $M$ and $N$, respectively, such that $AM=MN$. Find $\angle BAN$ in degrees.
A basket contains some apples. An takes out one third of them, then returns $15$ apples to the basket. Binh takes one third of the remaining apples, then returns $10$. The numbers of apples taken by An and Binh are equal. Chau also takes one third of the remaining apples, then returns $x$ apples. What is $x$ so that Chau takes the same number of apples as An and Binh?
A sequence begins with $1,2,3$. Its fourth term is the sum of the preceding three terms: $1+2+3=6$. Each term from the fourth onwards is likewise the sum of the preceding three terms. What is the eighth term?
A digital clock displays the time of day in HH:MM:SS format from 00:00:00 to 23:59:59. How many times in $24$ hours do all six digits change after one second?
