Questions 1 to 10 are worth 4 marks each.

1. Calculate the value of (1002 – 982 ) + (962 – 942 ) + (922 – 902 ) + … +
(82 – 62 ) + (42 – 22 ).

2. In a group of ten people, each person is asked to write the sum of the ages of all the
other nine people. The ten sums are 82, 83, 84, 85, 87, 89, 90, 90, 91 and 92. Find
the age of the youngest person. Assume that the ages are all whole numbers.

3. There are 10 hats. Each hat is a different colour. Two hats are cotton ($30 each),
five are leather ($50 each) and three are wool ($10 each). How many ways are there
to buy 5 hats such that the total cost is more than $101 but less than $149?

4. Persons A and B are each peeling potatoes at a constant speed of one potato per
minute. They start with the same number of potatoes. Every time A peels a potato,
A throws an unpeeled one into B’s basket simultaneously. (Assume no loss of time.)
At a certain moment, the ratio of B’s unpeeled potatoes to A’s is 2:1. Ten minutes
later, this ratio has increased to 4:1. How long from the start would this ratio be 8:1?

A triangle of three numbers

is taken from the pattern above, such that 𝐴, 𝐵 are two successive numbers in the
𝑖 th row and 𝐶 is in the (𝑖 + 1)th row just below 𝐴 and 𝐵. If 𝐴 + 𝐵 + 𝐶 = 2093,
find the value of 𝐶.

12. In a rectangle made up of 2004 × 4002 square units, how many square units can a
diagonal line pass through? (For example, the figure below shows a diagonal line of
a 6 × 8 rectangle that passes through 12 square units.)

13. Buses from town A to town B leave every hour on the hour.
(For example: 6:00, 7:00, …)
Buses from town B to town A leave every hour on the half hour.
(For example: 6:30, 7:30, …)
The trip between town A and town B takes 5 hours. Assume the buses travel on the
same road.
If you get a bus from town A, how many buses from town B do you pass on the road
(not including those at the stations)?

14. As shown in the figure, B is the midpoint of the line segment AD. The lengths of all
the line segments AB, AC, AD, BC, BD and CD are integers. If the product of all the
integers representing those lengths is 10500, find the length of AB.

15. Towns A, B, and C are connected to each other by several roads, with at least one
road connecting any two towns. In going from A to B, one can go directly on one of
the roads joining them, or one can travel from A to C on one of the roads joining A
and C and then travel from C to B on a road joining C to B. In all, there are 33 routes
from A to B, including those via C. Similarly, there are 23 routes from B to C,
including those via A. How many routes are there from A to C, including those via B?

16. The numbers 1, 2, 3, …, 51 and 52 are written on 52 cards, one number on each card.
We say that we have a “Lucky Set” if there are three cards in a hand (regardless of
the total number of cards in the hand) such that the sum of the digits on each card
is the same. What is the least number of cards we must have in order to ensure that
we get a “Lucky Set” in the hand?

17. In square 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷 , points 𝑃 and 𝑄 lie on 𝐴𝐷 ̅̅̅̅ and 𝐴𝐵

̅̅̅̅ , respectively.
Segments 𝐵𝑃̅̅̅̅ and 𝐶𝑄
̅̅̅̅ intersect at right angles at 𝑅, with 𝐵𝑅 = 6 and 𝑃𝑅 = 7. What
is the area of the square?
