9. Let ABC be a triangle with AB = 5, AC = 4, BC = 6. The internal angle bisector
of C intersects the side AB at D. Points M and N are taken on sides BC and AC,
p
respectively, such that DM k AC and DN k BC. If (M N )2 = where p and q are
q
relatively prime positive integers then what is the sum of the digits of |p − q|?
10. Five students take a test on which any integer score from 0 to 100 inclusive is
possible. What is the largest possible difference between the median and the mean
of the scores? (The median of a set of scores is the middlemost score when the
data is arranged in increasing order. It is exactly the middle score when there are
an odd number of scores and it is the average of the two middle scores when there
are an even number of scores.)

13. Find the sum of all positive integers n for which |2n + 5n − 65| is a perfect square.
14. The product 55 × 60 × 65 is written as the product of five distinct positive integers.
What is the least possible value of the largest of these integers?
15. Three couples sit for a photograph in 2 rows of three people each such that no

22. In triangle ABC, let P and R be the feet of the perpendiculars from A onto the
external and internal bisectors of ∠ABC, respectively; and let Q and S be the feet
of the perpendiculars from A onto the internal and external bisectors of ∠ACB,
respectively. If P Q = 7, QR = 6 and RS = 8, what is the area of triangle ABC?
23. The incircle Γ of a scalene triangle ABC touches BC at D, CA at E and AB at F .
Let rA be the radius of the circle inside ABC which is tangent to Γ and the sides
AB and AC. Define rB and rC similarly. If rA = 16, rB = 25 and rC = 36, determine
the radius of Γ.
24. A light source at the point (0, 16) in the coordinate plane casts light in all directions.
A disc (a circle along with its interior) of radius 2 with center at (6, 10) casts√a
shadow on the X axis. The length of the shadow can be written in the form m n
where m, n are positive integers and n is square-free. Find m + n.
25. For a positive integer n, let hni denote the perfect square integer closest to n. For
example, h74i = 81, h18i = 16. If N is the smallest positive integer such that

26. In the figure below, 4 of the 6 disks are to be colored black and 2 are to be colored
white. Two colorings that can be obtained from one another by a rotation or a
reflection of the entire figure are considered the same.
Fig 1.
There are only four such colorings for the given two colors, as shown in Figure 1.
In how many ways can we color the 6 disks such that 2 are colored black, 2 are
colored white, 2 are colored blue with the given identification condition?
27. A bug travels in the coordinate plane moving only along the lines that are parallel to
the x axis or y axis. Let A = (−3, 2) and B(3, −2). Consider all possible paths of the
bug from A to B of length at most 14. How many points with integer coordinates
lie on at least one of these paths?
28. A natural number n is said to be good if n is the sum of r consecutive positive
