1. A positive integer n is defined as a stepstool number if n has one less positive
divisor than n + 1. For example, 3 is a stepstool number, as 3 has 2 divisors and
4 has 2 + 1 = 3 divisors. Find the sum of all stepstool numbers less than 300.
2. An underground line has 26 stops, including the first and the final one, and all
the stops are numbered from 1 to 26 according to their order. Inside the train,
for each pair (x, y) with 1 ≤ x < y ≤ 26 there is exactly one passenger that
goes from the x-th stop to the y-th one. If every passenger wants to take a seat
during his journey, find the minimum number of seats that must be available
on the train.
3. Let a, b, c > 1 be positive real numbers such that alogb c = 27, logc a
√ b √ =√ 81,
and cloga b = 243. Then the value of log3 abc can be written as x + y + z
for positive integers x, y, and z. Find x + y + z.
4. Triangle 4ABC has AB = 3, BC = 4, and AC = 5. Let M and N be the
midpoints of AC and BC, respectively. If line AN intersects the circumcircle of
triangle 4BM C at points X and Y , then XY 2 = m n for some relatively prime
positive integers m, n. Find m + n.
5. Find the last three digits of the sum of all the real values of m such that
the ellipse x2 + xy + y 2 = m intersects the hyperbola xy = n only at its two
vertices, as n ranges over all non-zero integers −81 ≤ n ≤ 81.
6. Let P be the set of all polynomials p(x) = x4 + 2x2 + mx + n, where m and
n range over the positive reals. There exists a unique p(x) ∈ P such that p(x)
has a real root, m is minimized, and p(1) = 99. Find n.
7. Let A, B, C, D be points, in order, on a straight line such that AB = BC =
CD. Let E be a point closer to B than D such that BE = EC = CD and let
F be the midpoint of DE. Let AF intersect EC √
at G and let BF intersect EC
at H. If [BHC] + [GHF ] = 1, then AD2 = a c b where a, b, and c are positive
integers, a and c are relatively prime, and b is not divisible by the square of any
prime. Find a + b + c.
8. Mark has six boxes lined up in a straight line. Inside each of the first three
boxes are a red ball, a blue ball, and a green ball. He randomly selects a
ball from each of the three boxes and puts them into a fourth box. Then, he
randomly selects a ball from each of the four boxes and puts them into a fifth
box. Next, he randomly selects a ball from each of the five boxes and puts them
into a sixth box, arriving at three boxes with 1, 3, and 5 balls, respectively. The
probability that the box with 3 balls has each type of color is m n , where m and
n are relatively prime positive integers. Find m + n.

9. Angela, Bill, and Charles each independently and randomly choose a subset
of {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8} that consists of consecutive integers (two people can select
the same subset). The expected number of elements in the intersection of the
three chosen sets is m n , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers.
Find m + n.
10. In circle Ω, let AB = 65 be the diameter and let points C and D lie on the
same side of arc AB
˜ such that CD = 16, with C closer to B and D closer to A.
Moreover, let AD, BC, AC, and BD all have integer lengths. Two other circles,
circles ω1 and ω2 , have AC and BD as their diameters, respectively. Let circle
ω1 intersect AB at a point E 6= A and let circle ω2 intersect AB at a point
F 6= B. Then EF = m n , for relatively prime integers m and n. Find m + n.
11. Let N be the set {1, 2, . . . , 2018}. For each subset A of N with exactly 1009
elements, define X X
f (A) = i j.
i∈A j∈N,j ∈A
/
If E[f (A)] is the expected value of f (A) as A ranges over all the possible subsets
of N with exactly 1009 elements, find the remainder when the sum of the distinct
prime factors of E[f (A)] is divided by 1000.
12. Define a permutation of the set {1, 2, 3, ..., n} to be sortable if upon cancelling
an appropriate term of such permutation, the remaining n − 1 terms are in
increasing order. If f (n) is the number of sortable permutations of {1, 2, 3, ..., n},
find the remainder when

is divided by 1000. Note that the empty set is considered sortable.
13. Find the number of positive integers n < 2017 such that n2 + n0 + n1 + n7
is not divisible by the square of any prime.
14. Let 4ABC be a triangle with AB = 6, BC = 8, AC = 10, and let D be a
point such that if IA , IB , IC , ID are the incenters of the triangles BCD, ACD,
ABD, ABC, respectively, the lines √ AIA , BIB , CIC , DID are concurrent. If the
volume of tetrahedron ABCD is 15 2 39 , then the sum of the distances from D
to A, B, C can be expressed in the form ab for some positive relatively prime
integers a, b. Find a + b.
15. A positive integer n is said to be m-free if n ≤ m! and gcd(i, n) = 1 for each
i = 1, 2, ..., m. Let Sk denote the sum of the squares of all the k-free integers.
Find the remainder when S7 − S6 is divided by 1000.
