  14. A number is chosen at random from among the first 100100 positive integers, and a positive integer divisor of that number is then chosen at random. What is the probability that the chosen divisor is divisible by 11?11?
  15. An even number of circles are nested, starting with a radius of 11 and increasing by 11 each time, all sharing a common point. The region between every other circle is shaded, starting with the region inside the circle of radius 22 but outside the circle of radius 1.1. An example showing 88 circles is displayed below. What is the least number of circles needed to make the total shaded area at least 2023π?2023\pi?

(There were no ties and no ambidextrous players.) What is the total number of games played?
  17. Let ABCDABCD be a rectangle with AB=30AB = 30 and BC=28.BC = 28. Points PP and QQ lie on BCBC and CDCD respectively so that all sides of △ABP,\triangle ABP, △PCQ,\triangle PCQ, and △QDA\triangle QDA have integer lengths. What is the perimeter of △APQ?\triangle APQ?

  21. There is a unique polynomial P(x)P(x) of least degree with leading coefficient 11 satisfying all of the following: 11 is a root of P(x)−1,P(x) - 1, 22 is a root of P(x−2),P(x - 2), 33 is a root of P(3x),P(3x), and 44 is a root of 4P(x).4P(x).
