Problem 2
On her first day of work, Janabel sold one widget. On day two, she sold three
widgets. On day three, she sold five widgets, and on each succeeding day, she sold
two more widgets than she had sold on the previous day. How many widgets in total
had Janabel sold after working days?
Solution
We can easily find out she makes widgets on Day . Then, we make
the sum of by adding in this
way: , which include pairs
Problem 3
How many square yards of carpet are required to cover a rectangular floor that is
feet long and feet wide? (There are feet in a yard.)
Solution
Since there are feet in a yard, we divide by to get , and by to get . To find
the area of the carpet, we then multiply these two values together to get .
Problem 4
How many pairs of parallel edges, such as and or and does a
cube have?
Solution
We first count the number of pairs of parallel lines that are in the same direction as .
The pairs of parallel lines are , ,
, , , and . These are pairs total. We can do
the same for the lines in the same direction as and . This means there
Problem 5

day of the week is February 14 in that year?
(A) Saturday (B) Monday (C) Tuesday (D) Thursday (E) Friday
Solution
(A) Saturday
January 1st is a Thursday and 31st January is a Saturday. So 1st Feb is a Sunday and 14th
will be a Saturday.

Problem 7
The diagram shows the miles traveled by bikers Alberto and Bjorn. After four hours,
about how many more miles has Alberto biked than Bjorn?
Solution
After 4 hours, we see that Bjorn biked 45 miles, and Alberto biked 60. Thus the answer
is .

as , so the answer is .
Problem 10
As shown in the figure below, a rectangle is partitioned into 9 smaller rectangles. The
number inside each small rectangle represents its area of that rectangle. The
numbers outside the small rectangles represent the lengths of their edges. Find the
area of the original large rectangle.
(A) 73 (B) 74 (C) 75 (D) 76 (E) 77
Solution
(E) 77
Problem 11
Luka is making lemonade to sell at a school fundraiser. His recipe requires times
as much water as sugar and twice as much sugar as lemon juice. He uses cups of
lemon juice. How many cups of water does he need?
Solution
Since the amount of sugar is twice the amount of lemon juice, Luka uses cups
of sugar.
Problem 12
Given an integer. If subtracted 2012 from it, the result is a perfect square. If
subtracted 2024 from it, the result is also a perfect square. Which of the following
integer has these two properties?
(A) 2012 (B) 2025 (C) 2026 (D) 2028 (E) 2048
Solution
Trial and error with the options
(D) 2028
2028-2012 =16 and 2028-2024=4 Both are square numbers
Problem 13
Solution
If we extend the lines, we have the following diagram:
the answer is
Problem 14
Shauna takes five tests, each worth a maximum of points. Her scores on the
first three tests are , , and . In order to average for all five tests, what is
the lowest score she could earn on one of the other two tests?
Solution
Right now, she scored and points, for a total of points. She wants her
average to be for her tests, so she needs to score points in total. This means
she needs to score a total of points in her next tests. Since the
maximum score she can get on one of her tests is , the least possible score she
can get is .
Note: You can verify that is the right answer because it is the lowest answer out of
the 5. Since it is possible to get 48, we are guaranteed that that is the right answer.
Problem 15
We observe that there is a pattern for the units digit which recurs every four powers of
three. Using this pattern, we can subtract 1 from 2012 and divide by 4. The remainder is
the power of three that we are looking for, plus one. divided by leaves a
remainder of , so the answer is the units digit of , or . Thus, we find that the units
digit of is .
Problem 16
The octagon has been divided up into identical triangles (and thus they each have
equal area). Since the shaded region occupies out of the total triangles, the answer
is .
Problem 17
Which triplet of numbers has a sum NOT equal to 1?
Solution
By adding each triplet, we can see that gives us , not , as our sum.
Problem 18
What is the degree measure of the smaller angle formed by the hands of a clock at
10 o clock?
Solution
At , the hour hand will be on the while the minute hand on the .

Problem 21
How many triangles are in this figure? (Some triangles may overlap other triangles.)
Solution
By inspection, we have that there triangles: Each of the small triangles, medium
triangle made of the rightmost two small triangles, and the large triangle.
Problem 22
To make this statement true, the question mark between the 6 and the 3 should be
replaced by
Solution
Simplifying the given expression, we get:
At this point, it becomes clear that it should be
Problem 23
Solution
After both folds are completed, the square would become a triangle that has an area
Since the area is square inches for of the square, square inches is the
area of square
The length of the side of a square that has an area of square inches is
inches.
Problem 24
Jeremy's father drives him to school in rush hour traffic in minutes. One day, there
is no traffic, so his father can drive him miles per hour faster and gets him to
school in minutes. How far in miles is it to school?
Solution
When driving in rush hour traffic, he drives minutes for one distance ( ) to the
school. It means he drives minutes for distances ( ) to the school. When driving in
no traffic hours, he drives minutes for one distance ( ) to the school. It means he
drives minutes for distances ( ) to the school. Subtracting these two situations, it
be miles.
Problem 25
If the pattern in the diagram continues, what fraction of the interior would be shaded
in the eighth triangle?
Solution
In each phase, all small triangles are congruent. The number of shaded triangles follows
the pattern:
which is the pattern of "square numbers". Thus, the eighth triangle will be divided
into small triangles in total.
The ratio of shaded to total triangles will be the fraction of the whole figure that's shaded,
since all triangles are congruent. Thus, the answer is , and the correct choice
is
