1 Every morning, Aya does a 9 kilometer walk, and then finishes at the coffee shop. One day, she
walks at s kilometers per hour, and the walk takes 4 hours, including t minutes at the coffee
shop. Another morning, she walks at s + 2 kilometers per hour, and the walk takes 2 hours and
24 minutes, including t minutes at the coffee shop. This morning, if she walks at s+ 21 kilometers
per hour, how many minutes will the walk take, including the t minutes at the coffee shop?

2 Real numbers x and y with x, y > 1 satisfy logx (y x ) = logy (x4y ) = 10. What is the value of xy?

3 Alice and Bob play the following game. A stack of n tokens lies before them. The players take
turns with Alice going first. On each turn, the player removes 1 token or 4 tokens from the stack.
The player who removes the last token wins. Find the number of positive integers n less than or
equal to 2024 such that there is a strategy that guarantees that Bob wins, regardless of Alice’s
moves.

4 Jen randomly picks 4 distinct elements from {1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10}. The lottery machine also
picks 4 distinct elements. If the lottery machine picks at least 2 of Jen’s numbers, Jen wins a
prize. If the lottery machine’s numbers are all 4 of Jen’s, Jen wins the Grand Prize. Given that
Jen wins a prize, what is the probability she wins a Grand Prize?

1 Among the 900 residents of Aimeville, there are 195 who own a diamond ring, 367 who own a
set of golf clubs, and 562 who own a garden spade. In addition, each of the 900 residents owns
a bag of candy hearts. There are 437 residents who own exactly two of these things, and 234
residents who own exactly three of these things. Find the number of residents of Aimeville who
own all four of these things.

2 A list of positive integers has the following properties:

3 Find the number of ways to place a digit in each cell of a 2 × 3 grid so that the sum of the two
numbers formed by reading left to right is 999, and the sum of the three numbers formed by
reading top to bottom is 99. The grid below is an example of such an arrangement because
