<u>Round 1</u>**p1.**  Alec rated the movie Frozen  $1$  out of  $5$  stars. At least how many ratings of  $5$  out of  $5$  stars does Eric need to collect to make the average rating for Frozen greater than or equal to  $4$  out of  $5$  stars?**p2.** Bessie shuffles a standard  $52$ -card deck and draws five cards without replacement. She notices that all five of the cards she drew are red. If she draws one more card from the remaining cards in the deck, what is the probability that she draws another red card?**p3.** Find the value of  $121 \cdot 1020304030201$ .


<u>Round 2</u>**p4.** Find the smallest positive integer  $c$  for which there exist positive integers  $a$  and  $b$  such that  $a \ne b$  and  $a^2 + b^2 = c$ **p5.** A semicircle with diameter  $AB$  is constructed on the outside of rectangle  $ABCD$  and has an arc length equal to the length of  $BC$ . Compute the ratio of the area of the rectangle to the area of the semicircle.**p6.** There are  $10$  monsters, each with  $6$  units of health. On turn  $n$ , you can attack one monster, reducing its health by  $n$  units. If a monster's health drops to  $0$  or below, the monster dies. What is the minimum number of turns necessary to kill all of the monsters?


<u>Round 3</u>**p7.** It is known that  $2$  students make up  $5\%$  of a class, when rounded to the nearest percent. Determine the number of possible class sizes.**p8.** At  $17:10$ , Totoro hopped onto a train traveling from Tianjin to Urumuqi. At  $14:10$  that same day, a train departed Urumuqi for Tianjin, traveling at the same speed as the  $17:10$  train. If the duration of a one-way trip is  $13$  hours, then how many hours after the two trains pass each other would Totoro reach Urumuqi?**p9.** Chad has  $100$  cookies that he wants to distribute among four friends. Two of them, Jeff and Qiao, are rivals; neither wants the other to receive more cookies than they do. The other two, Jim and Townley, don't care about how many cookies they receive. In how many ways can Chad distribute all  $100$  cookies to his four friends so that everyone is satisfied? (Some of his four friends may receive zero cookies.)


<u>Round 4</u>**p10.** Compute the smallest positive integer with at least four two-digit positive divisors.**p11.** Let  $ABCD$  be a trapezoid such that  $AB$  is parallel to  $CD$ ,  $BC = 10$  and  $AD = 18$ . Given that the two circles with diameters  $BC$  and  $AD$  are tangent, find the perimeter of  $ABCD$ .**p12.** How many length ten strings consisting of only  $A$ s and Bs contain neither " $BAB$ " nor " $BBB$ " as a substring?
