1. Abe can paint the room in 15 hours, Bea can paint 50 percent faster than Abe,
and Coe can paint twice as fast as Abe. Abe begins to paint the room and works
alone for the first hour and a half. Then Bea joins Abe, and they work together
until half the room is painted. Then Coe joins Abe and Bea, and they work
together until the entire room is painted. Find the number of minutes after Abe
begins for the three of them to finish painting the room.

2. Arnold is studying the prevalence of three health risk factors, denoted by A, B,

and C, within a population of men. For each of the three factors, the probability
that a randomly selected man in the population has only this risk factor (and
none of the others) is 0.1. For any two of the three factors, the probability that
a randomly selected man has exactly these two risk factors (but not the third)
is 0.14. The probability that a randomly selected man has all three risk factors,
given that he has A and B is 13 . The probability that a man has none of the
three risk factors given that he does not have risk factor A is pq , where p and q
are relatively prime positive integers. Find p + q.

3. A rectangle has sides of length a and 36. A hinge is installed at each vertex
of the rectangle and at the midpoint of each side of length 36. The sides of
length a can be pressed toward each other keeping those two sides parallel so
the rectangle becomes a convex hexagon as shown. When the figure is a hexagon
with the sides of length a parallel and separated by a distance of 24, the hexagon
has the same area as the original rectangle. Find a2 .

4. The repeating decimals 0.ababab and 0.abcabcabc satisfy

33
0.ababab + 0.abcabcabc = ,
37
where a, b, and c are (not necessarily distinct) digits. Find the three-digit num-
ber abc.

5. Real numbers r and s are roots of p(x) = x3 + ax + b, and r + 4 and s − 3 are

roots of q(x) = x3 + ax + b + 240. Find the sum of all possible values of |b|.

6. Charles has two six-sided dice. One of the dice is fair, and the other die is biased
so that it comes up six with probability 23 , and each of the other five sides has
1
probability 15 . Charles chooses one of the two dice at random and rolls it three
times. Given that the first two rolls are both sixes, the probability that the third
roll will also be a six is pq , where p and q are relatively prime positive integers.
Find p + q.

8. Circle C with radius 2 has diameter AB. Circle D is internally tangent to circle
C at A. Circle E is internally tangent to circle C, externally tangent to circle
D, and tangent to AB. The radius√of circle D is three times the radius of circle
E and can be written in the form m − n, where m and n are positive integers.
Find m + n .

9. Ten chairs are arranged in a circle. Find the number of subsets of this set of
chairs that contain at least three adjacent chairs.

10. Let z be a complex number with |z| = 2014. Let P be the polygon in the
1
complex plane whose vertices are z and every w such that z+w = z1 + w1 . Then
√
the area enclosed by P can be written in the form n 3, where n is an integer.
Find the remainder when n is divided by 1000.

11. In 4RED, RD = 1, ∠DRE = 75◦ and ∠RED = 45◦ . Let M be the midpoint
of segment RD. Point C lies on side ED such that RC ⊥ EM . √ Extend segment
DE through E to point A such that CA = AR. Then AE = a−c b , where a and
c are relatively prime positive integers, and b is a positive integer. Find a + b + c.

12. Suppose that the angles of 4ABC satisfy cos(3A) + cos(3B) + cos(3C) = 1.
Two sides of the triangle have lengths 10 and 13. There is a positive integer
√m
so that the maximum possible length for the remaining side of 4ABC is m.
Find m.

13. Ten adults enter a room, remove their shoes, and toss their shoes into a pile.
Later, a child randomly pairs each left shoe with a right shoe without regard
to which shoes belong together. The probability that for every positive integer
k < 5, no collection of k pairs made by the child contains the shoes from exactly
k of the adults is m
n , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find
m + n.

14. In 4ABC, AB = 10, ∠A = 30◦ , and ∠C = 45◦ . Let H, D, and M be points on

line BC such that AH ⊥ BC, ∠BAD = ∠CAD, and BM = CM . Point N is
the midpoint of segment HM , and point P is on ray AD such that P N ⊥ BC.
Then AP 2 = m n , where m and n are relatively prime positive integers. Find
m + n.

15. For any integer k ≥ 1, let p(k) be the smallest prime which does not divide k.
Define the integer function X(k) to be the product of all primes less than p(k)
if p(k) > 2, and X(k) = 1 if p(k) = 2. Let {xn } be the sequence defined by
x0 = 1, and xn+1 X(xn ) = xn p(xn ) for n ≥ 0. Find the smallest positive integer,
t such that xt = 2090.
