Mr. Jones has eight children of different ages. On a family trip his oldest child, who is 9, spots a license plate with a 4-digit number in which each of two digits appears two times. "Look, daddy!" she exclaims. "That number is evenly divisible by the age of each of us kids!" "That's right," replies Mr. Jones, "and the last two digits just happen to be my age." Which of the following is not the age of one of Mr. Jones's children? $ \textbf{(A) } 4 \qquad \textbf{(B) } 5 \qquad \textbf{(C) } 6 \qquad \textbf{(D) } 7 \qquad \textbf{(E) } 8$

There is a $40\%$ chance of rain on Saturday and a $30\%$ of rain on Sunday. However, it is twice as likely to rain on Sunday if it rains on Saturday than if it does not rain on Saturday. The probability that it rains at least one day this weekend is $\frac{a}{b}$, where $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $a+b$.

Let $x,y$ and $z$ be positive real numbers that satisfy the following system of equations: $$\log_2\left({x \over yz}\right) = {1 \over 2}$$ $$\log_2\left({y \over xz}\right) = {1 \over 3}$$ $$\log_2\left({z \over xy}\right) = {1 \over 4}$$ Then the value of $\left|\log_2(x^4y^3z^2)\right|$ is ${m \over n}$ where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers.

Ed and Sue bike at equal and constant rates. Similarly, they jog at equal and constant rates, and they swim at equal and constant rates. Ed covers $ 74$ kilometers after biking for $ 2$ hours, jogging for $ 3$ hours, and swimming for $ 4$ hours, while Sue covers $ 91$ kilometers after jogging for $ 2$ hours, swimming for $ 3$ hours, and biking for $ 4$ hours. Their biking, jogging, and swimming rates are all whole numbers of kilometers per hour. Find the sum of the squares of Ed's biking, jogging, and swimming rates.

Jerry likes to play with numbers. One day, he wrote all the integers from $1$ to $2024$ on the whiteboard. Then he repeatedly chose four numbers on the whiteboard, erased them, and replaced them with either their sum or their product. (For example, Jerry's first step might have been to erase $1, 2, 3$, and $5$, and then write either $11$, their sum, or $30$, their product, on the whiteboard.) After repeatedly performing this operation, Jerry noticed that all the remaining numbers on the board were odd. What is the maximum possible number of integers on the board at that time? $ \textbf{(A) }1010 \qquad \textbf{(B) }1011 \qquad \textbf{(C) }1012 \qquad \textbf{(D) }1013 \qquad \textbf{(E) }1014 \qquad $

Let $ \mathcal{R}$ be the region consisting of the set of points in the coordinate plane that satisfy both $ |8 \minus{} x| \plus{} y \le 10$ and $ 3y \minus{} x \ge 15$. When $ \mathcal{R}$ is revolved around the line whose equation is $ 3y \minus{} x \equal{} 15$, the volume of the resulting solid is $ \frac {m\pi}{n\sqrt {p}}$, where $ m$, $ n$, and $ p$ are positive integers, $ m$ and $ n$ are relatively prime, and $ p$ is not divisible by the square of any prime. Find $ m \plus{} n \plus{} p$.
