1) Let S

be the sum of n consecutive integers, where n is an odd

positive integer. What is the median of the n numbers?

2) Let a be the sum of 25 consecutive integers whose median is

m ,

and let b be the sum of 15 consecutive integers whose median is

n . What does

a
b

3) The Fibonacci sequence is defined as follows: The first term is 1, the

second term is 1, and every term after these two equals the sum of
the two terms that immediately precede it. So, for example, the first
few terms in the sequence are
1,1,2,3,5,

since 3=1+2, 5=2+ 3, etc. How many terms in this sequence that are
less than 100 are prime numbers?
