Doug and Dave shared a pizza with $ 8$ equally-sized slices. Doug wanted a plain pizza, but Dave wanted anchovies on half the pizza. The cost of a plain pizza was $ \$8$, and there was an additional cost of $ \$2$ for putting anchovies on one half. Dave ate all the slices of anchovy pizza and one plain slice. Doug ate the remainder. Each paid for what he had eaten. How many more dollars did Dave pay than Doug? $ \textbf{(A) } 1\qquad \textbf{(B) } 2\qquad \textbf{(C) } 3\qquad \textbf{(D) } 4\qquad \textbf{(E) } 5$

Line segment $\overline{AB}$ is a diameter of a circle with $AB=24$. Point $C$, not equal to $A$ or $B$, lies on the circle. As point $C$ moves around the circle, the centroid (center of mass) of $\triangle{ABC}$ traces out a closed curve missing two points.

A majority of the $30$ students in Ms. Demeanor's class bought pencils at the school bookstore. Each of these students bought the same number of pencils, and this number was greater than $1$. The cost of a pencil in cents was greater than the number of pencils each student bought, and the total cost of all the pencils was $\$17.71$. What was the cost of a pencil in cents? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 7 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 11 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 17 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 23 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 77 $

It takes $A$ algebra books (all the same thickness) and $H$ geometry books (all the same thickness, which is greater than that of an algebra book) to completely fill a certain shelf. Also, $S$ of the algebra books and $M$ of the geometry books would fill the same shelf. Finally, $E$ of the algebra books alone would fill this shelf. Given that $A, H, S, M, E$ are distinct positive integers, it follows that $E$ is $ \textbf{(A)}\ \frac{AM+SH}{M+H} \qquad\textbf{(B)}\ \frac{AM^2+SH^2}{M^2+H^2} \qquad\textbf{(C)}\ \frac{AH-SM}{M-H} \qquad\textbf{(D)}\ \frac{AM-SH}{M-H} \qquad\textbf{(E)}\ \frac{AM^2-SH^2}{M^2-H^2} $

Jim starts with a positive integer $ n$ and creates a sequence of numbers. Each successive number is obtained by subtracting the largest possible integer square less than or equal to the current number until zero is reached. For example, if Jim starts with $ n=55$, then his sequence contains $ 5$ numbers: \begin{align*} &55\\ 55-7^2=&\ 6\\ 6-2^2=&\ 2\\ 2-1^2=&\ 1\\ 1-1^2=&\ 0 \end{align*}Let $ N$ be the smallest number for which Jim's sequence has 8 numbers. What is the units digit of $ N$? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 1 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 3 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 5 \qquad \textbf{(D)}\ 7 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 9$
