Problem 1
How many positive perfect squares less than are multiples of 24?

Solution

Problem 2
A 100 foot long moving walkway moves at a constant rate of 6 feet per second. Al steps onto the start of the
walkway and stands. Bob steps onto the start of the walkway two seconds later and strolls forward along the
walkway at a constant rate of 4 feet per second. Two seconds after that, Cy reaches the start of the walkway
and walks briskly forward beside the walkway at a constant rate of 8 feet per second. At a certain time, one
of these three persons is exactly halfway between the other two. At that time, find the distance in feet
between the start of the walkway and the middle person.

Solution
Problem 3
The complex number is equal to , where is a positive real number and . Given that the
imaginary parts of and are the same, what is equal to?

Solution

Problem 4
Three planets orbit a star circularly in the same plane. Each moves in the same direction and moves at
constant speed. Their periods are , , and years. The three planets and the star are currently
collinear. What is the fewest number of years from now that they will all be collinear again?

Solution

Problem 5
The formula for converting a Fahrenheit temperature to the corresponding Celsius temperature is

An integer Fahrenheit temperature is converted to Celsius, rounded to the nearest

integer, converted back to Fahrenheit, and again rounded to the nearest integer.

For how many integer Fahrenheit temperatures between and inclusive does the original temperature
equal the final temperature?

Solution

Problem 6
A frog is placed at the origin on the number line, and moves according to the following rule: in a given
move, the frog advances to either the closest point with a greater integer coordinate that is a multiple of
, or to the closest point with a greater integer coordinate that is a multiple of . A move sequence is a
sequence of coordinates which correspond to valid moves, beginning with , and ending with . For example,
is a move sequence. How many move sequences are possible for the frog?

and are both factors of ?

Solution

Problem 9
In right triangle with right angle , and . Its legs and are
extended beyond and . Points and lie in the exterior of the triangle and are the centers of
two circles with equal radii. The circle with center is tangent to the hypotenuse and to the extension
