P6. It is given the integer $Y$ with $Y = 2018 + 20118 + 201018 + 2010018 + \cdots + 201 \underbrace{00 \ldots 0}_{\textrm{100 digits}} 18.$ Determine the sum of all the digits of such $Y$. (It is implied that $Y$ is written with a decimal representation.) P7. Three groups of lines divides a plane into $D$ regions. Every pair of lines in the same group are parallel. Let $x, y$ and $z$ respectively be the number of lines in groups 1, 2, and 3. If no lines in group 3 go through the intersection of any two lines (in groups 1 and 2, of course), then the least number of lines required in order to have more than 2018 regions is .... P8. It is known a frustum $ABCD.EFGH$ where $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ are squares with both planes being parallel. The length of the sides of $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ respectively are $6a$ and $3a$, and the height of the frustum is $3t$. Points $M$ and $N$ respectively are intersections of the diagonals of $ABCD$ and $EFGH$ and the line $MN$ is perpendicular to the plane $EFGH$. Construct the pyramids $M.EFGH$ and $N.ABCD$ and calculate the volume of the 3D figure which is the intersection of pyramids $N.ABCD$ and $M.EFGH$. P9. Look at the arrangement of natural numbers in the following table. The position of the numbers is determined by their row and column numbers, and its diagonal (which, the sequence of numbers is read from the bottom left to the top right). As an example, the number $19$ is on the 3rd row, 4th column, and on the 6th diagonal. Meanwhile the position of the number $26$ is on the 3rd row, 5th column, and 7th diagonal. (Image should be placed here, look at attachment.) a) Determine the position of the number $2018$ based on its row, column, and diagonal. b) Determine the average of the sequence of numbers whose position is on the "main diagonal" (quotation marks not there in the first place), which is the sequence of numbers read from the top left to the bottom right: 1, 5, 13, 25, ..., which the last term is the largest number that is less than or equal to $2018$. P10. It is known that $A$ is the set of 3-digit integers not containing the digit $0$. Define a [i]gadang[/i] number to be the element of $A$ whose digits are all distinct and the digits contained in such number are not prime, and (a [i]gadang[/i] number leaves a remainder of 5 when divided by 7. If we pick an element of $A$ at random, what is the probability that the number we picked is a [i]gadang[/i] number?

The height $SO$ of a regular quadrangular pyramid $SABCD$ forms an angle $60^o$ with a side edge , the volume of this pyramid is equal to $18$ cm$^3$ . The vertex of the second regular quadrangular pyramid is at point $S$, the center of the base is at point $C$, and one of the vertices of the base lies on the line $SO$. Find the volume of the common part of these pyramids. (The common part of the pyramids is the set of all such points in space that lie inside or on the surface of both pyramids).

Let $ ABCD $ be a tetrahedron with $ \angle ABC = \angle ABD = \angle CBD = 90^\circ $ and $ AB = BC $. Let $ E, F, G $ be points on $ \overline{AD} $, $ BD $, and $ \overline{CD} $, respectively, such that each of the quadrilaterals $ AEFB $, $ BFGC $, and $ CGEA $ have an inscribed circle. Let $ r $ be the smallest real number such that $ \dfrac{[\triangle EFG]}{[\triangle ABC]} \leq r $ for all such configurations $ A, B, C, D, E, F, G $. If $ r $ can be expressed as $ \dfrac{\sqrt{a - b\sqrt{c}}}{d} $ where $ a, b, c, d $ are positive integers with $ \gcd(a, b) $ squarefree and $ c $ squarefree, find $ a + b + c + d $. Note: Here, $ [P] $ denotes the area of polygon $ P $. (This wasn't in the original test; instead they used the notation $ \text{area}(P) $, which is clear but frankly cumbersome. :P)

Six people play the following game: They have a cube, initially white. One by one, the players mark an $ X$ on a white face of the cube, and roll it like a die. The winner is the first person to roll an $ X$ (for example, player 1 wins with probability $ \frac {1}{6}$, while if none of players 1-5 win, player 6 will place an $ X$ on the last square and win for sure). What is the probability that the sixth player wins?
