[b]p1.[/b] What is $20\times 19 + 20 \div (2 - 7)$? [b]p2.[/b] Will has three spinners. The first has three equally sized sections numbered $1$, $2$, $3$; the second has four equally sized sections numbered $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$; and the third has five equally sized sections numbered $1$, $2$, $3$, $4$, $5$. When Will spins all three spinners, the probability that the same number appears on all three spinners is $p$. Compute $\frac{1}{p}$. [b]p3.[/b] Three girls and five boys are seated randomly in a row of eight desks. Let $p$ be the probability that the students at the ends of the row are both boys. If $p$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $m + n$. [b]p4.[/b] Jaron either hits a home run or strikes out every time he bats. Last week, his batting average was $.300$. (Jaron's batting average is the number of home runs he has hit divided by the number of times he has batted.) After hitting $10$ home runs and striking out zero times in the last week, Jaron has now raised his batting average to $.310$. How many home runs has Jaron now hit? [b]p5.[/b] Suppose that the sum $$\frac{1}{1 \cdot 4} +\frac{1}{4 \cdot 7}+ ...+\frac{1}{97 \cdot 100}$$ is expressible as $\frac{m}{n}$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$. Compute $m + n$. [b]p6.[/b] Let $ABCD$ be a unit square with center $O$, and $\vartriangle OEF$ be an equilateral triangle with center $A$. Suppose that $M$ is the area of the region inside the square but outside the triangle and $N$ is the area of the region inside the triangle but outside the square, and let $x = |M -N|$ be the positive difference between $M$ and $N$. If $$x =\frac1 8(p -\sqrt{q})$$ for positive integers $p$ and $q$, find $p + q$. [b]p7.[/b] Find the number of seven-digit numbers such that the sum of any two consecutive digits is divisible by $3$. For example, the number $1212121$ satisfies this property. [b]p8.[/b] There is a unique positive integer $x$ such that $x^x$ has $703$ positive factors. What is $x$? [b]p9.[/b] Let $x$ be the number of digits in $2^{2019}$ and let $y$ be the number of digits in $5^{2019}$. Compute $x + y$. [b]p10.[/b] Let $ABC$ be an isosceles triangle with $AB = AC = 13$ and $BC = 10$. Consider the set of all points $D$ in three-dimensional space such that $BCD$ is an equilateral triangle. This set of points forms a circle $\omega$. Let $E$ and $F$ be points on $\omega$ such that $AE$ and $AF$ are tangent to $\omega$. If $EF^2$ can be expressed in the form $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers, determine $m + n$. PS. You should use hide for answers.

Find the greatest number of depicted pieces composed of $4$ unit squares that can be placed without overlapping on an $n \times n$ grid (where n is a positive integer) in such a way that it is possible to move from some corner to the opposite corner via uncovered squares (moving between squares requires a common edge). The shapes can be rotated and reflected. [img]https://cdn.artofproblemsolving.com/attachments/b/d/f2978a24fdd737edfafa5927a8d2129eb586ee.png[/img]

Let $a_1, a_2, \ldots , a_{11}$ be 11 pairwise distinct positive integer with sum less than 2007. Let S be the sequence of $1,2, \ldots ,2007$. Define an [b]operation[/b] to be 22 consecutive applications of the following steps on the sequence $S$: on $i$-th step, choose a number from the sequense $S$ at random, say $x$. If $1 \leq i \leq 11$, replace $x$ with $x+a_i$ ; if $12 \leq i \leq 22$, replace $x$ with $x-a_{i-11}$ . If the result of [b]operation[/b] on the sequence $S$ is an odd permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots , 2007\}$, it is an [b]odd operation[/b]; if the result of [b]operation[/b] on the sequence $S$ is an even permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots , 2007\}$, it is an [b]even operation[/b]. Which is larger, the number of odd operation or the number of even permutation? And by how many? Here $\{x_1, x_2, \ldots , x_{2007}\}$ is an even permutation of $\{1, 2, \ldots ,2007\}$ if the product $\prod_{i > j} (x_i - x_j)$ is positive, and an odd one otherwise.
