  1. Of the first 100100 positive integers 11, 22, …, 100100, the number of those not divisible by 77 is

  2. The total score of four students in a test is 20132013. Ace scores 11 point more than Bea, Bea scores 33 points more than Cec, and Cec scores 22 points more than Dee. None of their scores is divisible by

  3. Of the following five fractions, the largest one is

  4. Two teams AA and BB played a soccer game on each of seven days. On each day, the first team to score seven goals won. There were no ties. Over the seven days, AA won more games than BB, but BB scored more goals than AA overall. The difference in the total numbers of goals scored by BB and AA is at most

  5. ABCDABCD is a quadrilateral with AB=12AB = 12 and CD=18CD = 18. Moreover, ABAB is parallel to CDCD and both ∠ADC\angle ADC and ∠BCD\angle BCD are less than 90∘90^\circ. PP and QQ are points on side CDCD such that AD=APAD = AP and BC=BQBC = BQ. The length of PQPQ is

  6. Each of four cows is either normal or mutant. A normal cow has 44 legs and always lies. A mutant cow has either 33 or 55 legs and always tells the truth. When asked how many legs they have among them, their respective responses are 1313, 1414, 1515 and 1616. The total number of legs among these four cows is

  7. Let aa and bb be positive integers such that ab<100ab < 100 and ab>2\dfrac{a}{b} > 2. Denote the minimum possible value of ab\dfrac{a}{b} by mm. Then we have

  8. Let ABCDABCD be a quadrilateral with ∠DAB=∠CBA=90∘\angle DAB = \angle CBA = 90^\circ. Suppose there is a point PP on side ABAB such that ∠ADP=∠CDP\angle ADP = \angle CDP and ∠BCP=∠DCP\angle BCP = \angle DCP. If AD=8AD = 8 and BC=18BC = 18, the perimeter of the quadrilateral ABCDABCD is

  9. Two bus routes stop at a certain bus stop. The A bus comes in one-hour intervals while the B bus also comes in regular intervals of a different length. When grandma rests on the bench by the bus stop, one A bus and two B buses come by. Later, grandpa rests on the same bench and eight A buses come by. The minimum number of B buses that must have come by during that time is

  10. Suppose that 162013=ab16^{2013} = a^b, where aa and bb are positive integers. The number of possible values of aa is

  11. The following statements are made about the integers aa, bb, cc, dd and ee: (i) abab is even and cc is odd; (ii) bcbc is even and dd is odd; (iii) cdcd is even and ee is odd; (iv) dede is even and aa is odd; (v) eaea is even and bb is odd. The maximum number of these statements which may be correct is

  12. A very small cinema has only one row of five seats numbered 11 to 55. Five movie goers arrive one at a time. Each takes a seat not next to any occupied seat if this is possible. If not, then any seat will do. The number of different orders in which the seats may be taken is

  13. Let f(x)=x2+x+1f(x) = x^2 + x + 1. Let nn be the positive integer such that f(n)=f(20)f(21)f(n) = f(20)f(21). Then the number of distinct prime divisors of nn is

  14. The number of pairs (x,y)(x, y) of integers satisfying the equation x2+y2+xy−x+y=2x^2 + y^2 + xy - x + y = 2 is

  15. A triangle ABCABC with AB=7AB = 7, BC=8BC = 8 and CA=10CA = 10 has an interior point PP such that ∠APB=∠BPC=∠CPA=120∘\angle APB = \angle BPC = \angle CPA = 120^\circ. Let r1r_1, r2r_2 and r3r_3 be the radii of the circles passing through the vertices of triangles PABPAB, PBCPBC and PCAPCA respectively. The value of r12+r22+r32r_1^2 + r_2^2 + r_3^2 is

  16. The list 11, 33, 44, 99, 1010, 1212, 1313, … contains in increasing order all positive integers which can be expressed as sums of one or more distinct integral powers of 33. The 100100-th number in this list is
