    HOW TO COMPLETE THE ANSWER SHEET

    The answers to all questions are integers from 0 to 999. Consider the following
    example question:

    26. If 3x − 216 = 0, determine the value of x.

    The answer is 72, so you must complete the block for question 26 on the answer
    sheet as follows: shade 0 in the hundreds row, 7 in the tens row, and 2 in the units
    row:

    Write the digits of your answer in the the blank blocks on the left of the respec-
    tive rows, as shown in the example; hundreds, tens and units from top to bottom.
    The three digits that you wrote down will not be marked, since it is only for your
    convenience — only the shaded circles will be marked.

    DO NOT TURN THE PAGE BEFORE YOU ARE TOLD

    Part A: 3 marks each

    1. 20  8  20  3 

    in cm2, of quadrilateral ADQD′.
    9. On the island of Pythageuleria, all vehicle number plates have two letters from the selection
    A, B, C, D followed by a number 1, 2, 3 or 4. For example:

    How many number plates contain both a single ‘A’ and an odd number?

    10. Some 3-digit numbers have the following property: if you remove the first digit then the
    remaining 2-digit number is a perfect square AND if you remove the last digit the remaining
    2-digit number is also a perfect square. What is the largest such 3-digit number?

    Part B: 4 marks each

    11. The diagram shows three regular hexagons and four shaded equilateral triangles. If the TOTAL
    area of the diagram is 176 cm2, what (in cm2) is the area of the shaded region?

    12. Busi correctly adds the lengths of three sides of a rectangle and gets 73 cm. Caleb correctly
