Problem 1
arctan 3 + arctan 4 = arctan x. Compute the value of x.

Problem 2

Compute the value of 2014 + (b 2014c 1 + b 3 2014c 1 + ...). (bxc denotes


the greatest integer less than or equal to x).

Problem 3
Convex quadrilateral ABCD exists such that AD = 7, CD = 9, BC = 11,
and AB = 13. There exists a point E on AD such that CE AD. Diagonals
AC and BD intersect at F and CE intersects BD at G. 6 ECD = 38 ,
6 BAC = 7 , 6 BCA = 1 6 GEA. If AF = F B, and CF = F D, compute the
2
value of AC.

Problem 4
Let p(x) = x3 6x2 +9x4. The range of , for which is real and p(x) =
has only one solution, is the set (, a) (b, ). Find the value of
a + b.

Problem 5
The Fibonacci sequence is a sequence that is defined as: F0 = 0, F1 = 1, Fn =
Fn1 + Fn2 . A cool-sumish set is a subset of 1, 2, ..., 2013, such that the sum
of the elements is equal to F2014 1. Let be the number of cool-sumish
sets. Compute the value of .

Problem 6
2014 circles are drawn on the plane. Let N be the maxmimum number of
regions that the 2014 circles can divide the plane. Find the number of divisors
of N . Note that 506773 is prime.

Problem 7
Let the set a0 , a1 , a2 , a3 be the root of a4 2014a+1. Let x be max(a0 , a1 , a2 , a3 ),
where max(b0 , b1 , ...) returns the largest value of b0 , b1 , .... Compute the value
1
of b x3 2014
c. (bxc denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x).

Problem 8
Compute

(2014

Problem 9
There exists a 2014 2015 rectangle on the cartesian plane, with one corner
being (0, 0), and the other at (2014, 2015). Define a Swag-tile as a 1 2 tile.
A monster comes and decides to destroy a pair of squares (remove a pair of
squares). Let k be the number of ways the monster can do this such that
you
can still tile the rest of the region with Swag-tiles. Compute the value
of b kc. (bxc denotes the greatest integer less than or equal to x).

Problem 10
Let f = lnx. Let the equation of a function g is sin(f )+2sin( 2 3f )sin(2f ).
Bob graphs this equation on a paper that extends indefinitely. Let S be the
set of all , where > 1, that are roots of g. Let find(x,S) be the function
that finds the xth smallest element in the set of S, and if there is no such
k
element, it returns 2014. If e m = find(2014,S), find the value of k + m.
