Ten Points Each. Total 150 Points.

1. If A, B, and C are three distinct positive integers such that 0 <A<B<C and A +
B + C = A B C , find C A + B.
2. Use 27 small wooden cubes to pile up into a large cube and paint the surface of
the large cube with red paint. If these small cubes are separated, total how
many faces of those small cubes have no paint on them?
3. Use match sticks to arrange the following figures. For example, Figure 4 has 16
small equilateral triangles. How many match sticks are required to arrange for
36 small equilateral triangles?

4. The figure on the right shows an addition in which each

type of English letter represents distinct digit. If it is
known that W = 7 and I is an even number, what does M
represent?
5. Let A, B, and C be distinct single decimal digits. Lois is participating in an
event in which she has to run a distance of AC (a twodigit number)
kilometers. She starts from a location marker that indicates the starting point to
be at the BB kilometer mark. When she arrives at the finish line, the location
marker labels the AAA (a threedigit number) kilometer mark. How many
kilometers did Lois run?
6. Compute (1 + 2 + 3 + + 2014 + 2015 + 2014 + 2013 + + 3 + 2 + 1)
2015.

7. An isosceles trapezoid has 55, 25, and 15 as the lengths of its three sides with its
lower base being the longest side. What is the perimeter of this trapezoid?
8. A group of students line up to arrange into a square. If this square adds a new
row and a new column to form a larger square, 19 more students will be needed.
How many students are lined up for the new larger square?
9. Three years from now, the sum of two brothers' ages will be 27. If the younger
brother's current age is equal to the difference between their ages, how old is the
younger brother now?
10. A total of 2015 balls are separated into 3 piles. After the same number of balls
are removed from each pile, the second pile still has 14 balls and the remaining
number of balls in the first pile is twice as many as those remaining in the third
pile. How many balls were in the third pile in the beginning?
11. Suppose , , and represent 3 different positive integers and satisfy the
equations 2 22 . What is the smallest value for ?
12. The figure on the right is a large square that is composed of 4
identical rectangles and one small square (no overlapping). If
the perimeter of each small rectangle is 40 and their width is 5,
find the area of the small square.
13. A bag of candies is distributed to certain number of people. If each person is
given 5 candies, there are 10 candies left over. If the number of people is
increased to 5 less than 3 times the original number and each person gets 2
candies, then there are 8 candies short. How many candies are in the bag?
14. Among the 7 numbers 5, 17, 19, 37, 39, 46, and 66, at least how many numbers
must be selected so that the sum of the selected numbers is 100?
15. For making measurements, a certain balance scale uses standard weights of 1, 2,
4, 5, and 7 grams; the object to be weighed is placed on one side of the scale
while combinations of standard weights are collected on the other until balance
is achieved. One of these standard weights, however, is missing such that the
balance scale cannot weigh something that is 10 grams.
