7. What is the largest three-digit prime number with all its digits prime?

8. Given that a polygon with all its angles less than 180° has n acute angles, find the sum of
maximum and minimum possible values of n.

9. In the diagram, the eight vertices represent the numbers a, b, c, d, e, f, g, and h respectively.

10. A seven-digit positive integer 2020 ABC is divisible by 7, 8 and 9. How many such integers
are there?

11. Some 50-cent and one-dollar coins are used to fill up a 3 3 board.
Each coin is to occupy a 1 1 square on the board.
The total value of the coins used is 6 dollars.
Given that the total value of the coins in every 2  2 square is a dollars, find the largest
possible value of a.

12. In triangle ABC, BAC = 80  , BE = BF and CD = CF . Find the size of DFE in degrees.

13. It is given that 111

  is divisible by 333
...111   . Find the least possible value of n.
...333
n digits 100 digits

14. In the diagram, we wish to fill out the 10 small squares using numbers 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 11, 12, 13,
14, 15 without repetition, such that the sum of four numbers in every 2  2 square is equal.
Find the largest possible value of the sum.

15. In 2019, a smartphone sold at 80% of its marked price made a profit of 20% on its cost. In
2020, the cost of the same model is lowered by 100 dollars. It is known that if the retailer sells
the phone at 75% of the same marked price, he would actually make a 25% profit. What is the
cost of this smartphone in 2020?

16. Find the sum of reciprocals of all positive factors of 120. The reciprocal of a number a is
1
defined as .
a

17. In the diagram , A and B are the centres of two quarter-circles of radii 14 cm and 28 cm
respectively.
22
Find the difference between areas of regions Ⅰ and Ⅱ in cm2. (Take π to be 7 .)

18. Let x and y be positive integers less than 100. Find the number of ordered pairs (x, y) such
that x2 + y2 is divisible by 49. (Note: (1, 2) and (2, 1) are considered two different ordered
pairs.)

19. If were to be written in its decimal representation, what is the sum of the first 2020 digits
13
after the decimal point?

20. In the diagram, points A, B and C are vertices of an equilateral triangle, and points D, E and F
are midpoints of the sides.
How many non-congruent triangles can be drawn using any three of these six points as
vertices?
(Note: Two triangles are congruent if they can overlap exactly. For example, triangle ADF
and triangle DFE are congruent. Triangle ADF and triangle CED are non-congruent.)

21. A pair of two consecutive numbers is called a “buddy” pair if there is no carry over in any
digits when addition is performed. For example, 134 and 135 is a “buddy” pair, but 135 and
136 is not.
In the list of integers 1001, 1002, ..., 1999, 2000, how many “buddy” pairs are there?

22. Given that x = 20182019  2020 , y = 20182020  2019 and z = 20202019  2018 . which of
the following is correct?

(1) z  y  x (2) z  x  y (3) x  y  z (4) x  z  y (5) y  z  x

23. Find the sum of all possible products of a prime number and a composite number chosen from
the following numbers： 2, 3, 4, 5, ..., 20.
(Note: Composite numbers are non-prime numbers more than once, for example, 12 can be
obtained as 2  6 or 3 4 , then 12 needs to be added twice when the sum is computed.)

24. Three generous friends, each with some money, redistribute the money as follows:
Richard gives enough money to Simon and Timothy to double their amount. Simon then gives
enough money to Richard and Timothy to double their amount. Finally, Timothy gives
enough money to Richard and Simon to double their amount.
If Timothy had 36 dollars at the beginning and 36 dollars at the end, what is the total amount
that all three people have?

25. How many digits are there when the product 2
2...  2 is evaluated?
2
100 ' 2 ' s
(For example, when 2  2  2  2  2  2  2 is evaluated, the result 128 is a 3-digit number.)

26. Two cities are 999 km apart.

There are 1000 distance signs along the highway connecting the cities at every 1 km mark.
The signs are in the following format:
(0, 999), (1, 998), (2, 997), ..., (998, 1), (999, 0).
We call a distance sign “nice” if it contains only two distinct digits.
For example, (0, 999) is “nice” as it only contains 0 and 9.
How many “nice” signs are there?

27. How many ways are there to arrange 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 in a line such that every digit is not greater
than the average of the two neighbouring digits? Note that this condition does not apply to the
leftmost and rightmost digits as they only have adjacent digit on one side.

28. There are 7 types of tetrominoes as shown in the diagram below.

They are labelled from 1 to 7.
Mr Tetris used four distinct tetrominoes (rotation) is allowed to form a square of area 16
square units.
If the sum of the four labels is calculated, what is the least possible value of this sum?

29. How many different ways are there to express 10000 as the product of 3 positive integers?
(Note: Order is important, for example, 1 100  100 and 100  1 100 are considered two
different ways.)

30. A rectangular board with 8 columns has its squares numbered as follows:
The first row is numbered 1 to 8, the second row is numbered 9 to 16, and so on. A student
shades square 1, then skips one square and shaded square 3, skips two squares and shaded
square 6, and continues in this way until there is at least one shaded square in each column.
What is the number in the final shaded square?
