Problem 3. The flag of Malaysia consists of a blue rectangle at the upper left corner,
and 14 stripes with equal thickness, coloured alternately red and white. The width
of the blue rectangle is half the width of the flag.
If a Malaysian flag has an area of 140 cm2 , determine the area of the flag (in cm2 )
that is coloured red.
Problem 4. In a flower garden, 99% of the flowers are roses, and the rest are lilies. The
gardener wants to decrease the percentage of roses to 98% by discarding some roses.
The amount of roses he needs to discard is k% of all the flowers.
Find k.
Problem 5. Farah received a calendar for year 2020 as a gift. Once the year ends, she
plans to keep it because she can reuse the exact same calendar in a future year N
(this means that for any given date in year N , it will fall on the same day as in year
2020. For example, 5 September in year N will fall on Saturday, as is 5 September
2020).
What is the smallest possible N ?

Problem 6. A positive integer is defined as awesome if the sum of its digits equals its
number of digits. For example, the number 2020 is awesome because its sum of
digits and its number of digits are both 4.
How many awesome positive integers (including 2020) less than 10,000 are there?
Note: An awesome integer cannot start with digit 0.
a1 , a2 , a3 , . . . ,
Starting from the third term, each term is equal to the sum of all previous terms
(for example, a5 = a1 + a2 + a3 + a4 ). It is known that a1 = 1, and n is the largest
possible integer with an = 10000.
Find a2 .

Part C (3 points each)
Problem 11. How many palindromic integers are there that remains a palindromic
number after addition with 2020?
Note: An integer is palindromic if it remains the same if read forward or backward.
For example, 747 and 1991 are palindromic integers.
is an integer.
Problem 13. Given a trapezium ABCD, with side AB parallel to side CD. The two
diagonals of the trapezium meet at E. It is known that the area of 4DAE is 3
times the area of 4ABE.
area of 4BCD
Determine the value of .
area of 4ABE
Problem 14. In a class of 100 students, there are a females and b males, where 0 ≤ a ≤
100. The sum of digits of a is S(a), and the sum of digits of b is S(b).
If S(a) + S(b) = 19, how many possible values of a are there?
Problem 15. A number is said to be k-good if the number can be expressed as a sum
of k consecutive positive integers. For example, 27 is 2-good and 3-good, since 27
can be expressed as
27 = 13 + 14 and 27 = 8 + 9 + 10.

Part D (4 points each)
Problem 16. Given integers a, b, c, d with a > b > c > d > 1, and
Find a + b + c + d.
Problem 17. It is known that the number of female students in a class is more than
48% but less than 50% of the total number of students.
What is the smallest possible number of students in the class?
Problem 18. What is the maximum possible number of reflex angles inside a polygon
with 100 sides?
|x − y| + |x + y| = 2.
Problem 20. Consider the two-dimensional coordinate plane. For any positive integer
n, define f (n) to be the number of lattice points on the line segment connecting
point (0, 0) to point (n, n + 6), excluding both endpoints.
Find the value of
f (1) + f (2) + f (3) + · · · + f (1000).
Note: A lattice point is a point with integer x-coordinate and y-coordinate.
