Question 5
The first term in a sequence of numbers is 𝑎1 = 20. Next terms are defined in the
following way
𝑎𝑛 = 𝑎𝑛−1 + 2𝑛 + 3.
Find the value of 𝑎40 .

Question 6
Find the value of the following.
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
−
101 − 102 × 103 − 104 × 105 106 × … × 2018 − 2019
1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1
102 − 103 104 − 105 106 − 107 2019 − 2020

Question 7
How many times does the number 2020 appear in the sequence below?
3, 4, 5, 4, 3, 4, 5, 6, 5, 4, 5, 6, 7, 6, 5, 6, 7, 8, 7, 6, …

Question 8
Bored Bob wrote down the natural numbers in a clockwise spiral manner as shown
in the figure below. Artsy Archie, his twin brother, drew connected segments starting
from 1, with each segment passing through as many consecutive integers as
possible. Let us define the segment sum as the sum of the two numbers at the ends
of a segment. For example, the segment sum of the third segment is 3 + 5 = 8.
What is the segment sum of the segment that passes through 2020?

Question 21

The date format in South Korea is YYYY/MM/DD. Let us write the dates in South
Korean format as YYYYMMDD so that they form an 8-digit number. For example, 29
February 2020 can be written as 20200229. How many of the 8-digit numbers formed
by the dates in 2020 are divisible by 3?
