1. Jessica walks from location A to location B in seven days, and back in six days. Each day, she
walks one kilometer more than on the preceding day. Determine the distance between the
location A and location B.
2. Winson thought of a whole number and then multiplied it by either 5 or 6. Erica added 5 or
6 to Winson's answer. Finally Rachael subtracted either 5 or 6 from Erica's answer. The final
result was 73. Determine the number Winson thought.
1 1 192
4. Let x and y be two positive prime integers such that . Determine the
x y 2005 20042

5. In a certain triangle, the size of each of the angles is a whole number of degrees. Also, one
angle is 60° larger than the average of the other two angles. Determine the largest possible
size of an angle in this triangle.
7. Ada thinks of a number. She adds 2 to it to get a second number. She then adds 3 to the
second number to get a third number, adds 4 to the third to get a fourth, and finally adds 5
to the fourth to get a fifth number. Alan also thinks of a number but he subtracts 3 to get a
second. He then subtracts 4 from the second to get a third, and so on until he too has five
numbers. Finally, they discover that the sum of Ada’s five numbers is the same as the sum
of Alan’s five numbers. Determine the difference between the two numbers of which they
first thought.
8. The figure shows part of a tiling, which extends indefinitely in every direction across the
whole plane. Each tile is a regular hexagon. Some of the tiles are white, the others are
black. Determine the fraction that the plane is white.
9. In the following sum, O represent the digit 0. A, B, X and Y each represents distinct digit.
Determine there are how many possible digits can A be.
10. The tens digit of a two-digit number is three more than the units digit. When this two-
digit number is divided by the sum of its digits, the answer is 7 remainder 3. Determine
the sum of the digits of the two-digit number.
11. Richard has four cubes all the same size: one blue, one red, one white and one yellow. He
wants to glue the four cubes together to make the solid shape as shown in the figure
below.
Determine the number of differently-coloured shapes can Richard make. [Two shapes are
considered to be the same if one can be picked up and turned around so that it looks
identical to the other.]
12. Determine the sum of all corner angles of a 5-pointed star: a+b+c+d+e.
13. A 3-digit integer is called a ‘V-number’ if the digits go ‘high-low-high’ – that is, if the tens
digit is smaller than both the hundreds digit and the units (or ‘ones’) digit. Determine the
number of 3-digit ‘V-numbers’ that can be formed.
14. Oscar wants to put the numbers 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 and 10 into the circles so that the products of
the three numbers along each edge are the same, and as large as possible. Determine the
product of the three numbers.
15. A two-digit number ‘mn’ is multiplied by its reverse ‘nm’. The ones (units) and tens digits of
the four-digit answer are both 0. Determine the value of the smallest such two-digit
number ‘mn’.
19. Suppose that x2 a 2006, x 2 b 2007 and x 2 c 2008 and abc 3 . Determine the
a b c 1 1 1
value of .
bc ac ab a b c
20. The difference between the highest common factor and the lowest common multiple of m
and 18 is 120. Determine the value of m.
21. The internal bisector of angle A of triangle ABC meets BC at D. The external bisector of angle
A meets BC produced at E. If AB=6 units, AC=4 units and BC=6 units, determine the length
DE.
22. In triangle ABC, D and E are points on AB and BC respectively. Given that AD:DB=2:3 and DE
is parallel to AC, determine the ratio of the area of triangle BDE to the area of triangle ABC.
23. In how many ways can the letters of the word MURMUR be arranged without letting two
letters which are alike come together?
24. Determine how many numbers less than 2013 are both satisfying condition (1) and
condition (2).
