The value of the two-digit number $\underline{a}\,\underline{b}$ in base seven equals the value of the two-digit number $\underline{b}\,\underline{a}$ in base nine. What is $a + b?$

Positive integers $x$ and $y$ satisfy the equation $57x + 22y = 400.$ What is the least possible value of $x + y?$

Emmy says to Max, “I ordered $36$ math club sweatshirts today.” Max asks, “How much did each shirt cost?” Emmy responds, “I’ll give you a hint. The total cost was $\$\underline{A}\,\underline{B}\,\underline{B}.\underline{B}\,\underline{A},$ where $A$ and $B$ are digits and $A \neq 0.$” After a pause, Max says, “That was a good price.” What is $A + B?$

What is the value of $$\sum_{n=2}^{255} \frac{\log_2\left(1 + \frac{1}{n}\right)}{(\log_2 n)(\log_2(n+1))}?$$

There are integers $a$ and $b$ such that the polynomial $x^3 - 5x^2 + ax + b$ has $4 + \sqrt{5}$ as a root. What is $a + b?$

What is the tens digit of $6^{6^6}?$

The altitude to the hypotenuse of a $30\text{-}60\text{-}90$ right triangle is divided into two segments of lengths $x \lt y$ by the median to the shortest side of the triangle. What is the ratio $\dfrac{x}{x+y}?$

Nine athletes, no two of whom are the same height, try out for the basketball team. One at a time, they draw a wristband at random, without replacement, from a bag containing $3$ blue bands, $3$ red bands, and $3$ green bands. They are divided into a blue group, a red group, and a green group. The tallest member of each group is named the group captain. What is the probability that the group captains are the three tallest athletes?

The windshield wiper on the driver’s side of a large bus is depicted below. Arm $\overline{AB}$ pivots back and forth around point $A,$ sweeping out an arc of $60^\circ,$ symmetric about the vertical line through $A.$ The wiper blade $\overline{CD}$ is attached to $B$ at its midpoint and stays vertical as the arm moves. The arm is $3$ feet long, and the wiper blade is $3.5$ feet tall. What is the area of the windshield cleaned by the wiper, in square feet, to the nearest hundredth? (Assume that the windshield is a flat vertical surface.)

A circle has been divided into $6$ sectors of different sizes. Then $2$ of the sectors are painted red, $2$ painted green, and $2$ painted blue so that no two neighboring sectors are painted the same color. One such coloring is shown below. How many different colorings are possible?

Consider a decreasing sequence of $n$ positive integers $x_1 \gt x_2 \gt \cdots \gt x_n$ that satisfies the following two conditions: • The average (arithmetic mean) of the first $3$ terms in the sequence is $2025.$ • For all $4 \le k \le n,$ the average of the first $k$ terms in the sequence is $1$ less than the average of the first $k-1$ terms in the sequence. What is the greatest possible value of $n?$

A container has a $1 \times 1$ square bottom, a $3 \times 3$ open square top, and four congruent trapezoidal sides, as shown. Starting when the container is empty, a hose that runs water at a constant rate takes $35$ minutes to fill the container up to the midline of the trapezoids. How many more minutes will it take to fill the remainder of the container?

An analog clock starts at midnight and runs for $2025$ minutes before stopping. What is the tangent of the acute angle between the hour hand and the minute hand when the clock stops?

Each of the $9$ squares in a $3 \times 3$ grid is to be colored red, blue, or yellow in such a way that each red square shares an edge with at least one blue square, each blue square shares an edge with at least one yellow square, and each yellow square shares an edge with at least one red square. Colorings that can be obtained from one another by rotations and/or reflections are to be considered the same. How many different colorings are possible?

Awnik repeatedly plays a game that has a probability of winning of $\dfrac{1}{3}.$ The outcomes of the games are independent. What is the expected value of the number of games he will play until he has both won and lost at least once?

A rectangular grid of squares has $141$ rows and $91$ columns. Each square has room for two numbers. Horace and Vera each fill in the grid by putting the numbers from $1$ through $141 \times 91 = 12{,}831$ into the squares. Horace fills the grid horizontally: he puts $1$ through $91$ in order from left to right into row $1,$ puts $92$ through $182$ into row $2$ in order from left to right, and continues similarly through row $141.$ Vera fills the grid vertically: she puts $1$ through $141$ in order from top to bottom into column $1,$ then $142$ through $282$ into column $2$ in order from top to bottom, and continues similarly through column $91.$ How many squares get two copies of the same number?

A frog hops along the number line according to the following rules. • It starts at $0.$ • If it is at $0,$ then it moves to $1$ with probability $\dfrac{1}{2}$ and it disappears with probability $\dfrac{1}{2}.$ • For $n = 1,$ $2,$ or $3,$ if it is at $n,$ then it moves to $n+1$ with probability $\dfrac{1}{4},$ it moves to $n-1$ with probability $\dfrac{1}{4},$ and it disappears with probability $\dfrac{1}{2}.$ What is the probability that the frog reaches $4?$

Two non-congruent triangles have the same area. Each triangle has sides of length $8$ and $9,$ and the third side of each triangle has integer length. What is the sum of the lengths of the third sides?

What is the greatest possible area of the triangle in the complex plane with vertices $2z,$ $(1+i)z,$ and $(1-i)z,$ where $z$ is a complex number satisfying $|4z - 2| = 1?$

Let $S$ be the set of all integers $z \gt 1$ such that for all pairs of nonnegative integers $(x, y)$ with $x \lt y \lt z,$ the remainder when $2025x$ is divided by $z$ is less than the remainder when $2025y$ is divided by $z.$ What is the sum of the elements of $S?$
