Joey and Chloe and their daughter Zoe all have the same birthday. Joey is 1 year older than Chloe, and Zoe is exactly 1 year old today. Today is the first of the 9 birthdays on which Chloe's age will be an integral multiple of Zoe's age. What will be the sum of the two digits of Joey's age the next time his age is a multiple of Zoe's age?

Paula the painter and her two helpers each paint at constant, but different, rates. They always start at $\text{8:00 AM}$, and all three always take the same amount of time to eat lunch. On Monday the three of them painted $50\%$ of a house, quitting at $\text{4:00 PM}$. On Tuesday, when Paula wasn't there, the two helpers painted only $24\%$ of the house and quit at $\text{2:12 PM}$. On Wednesday Paula worked by herself and finished the house by working until $\text{7:12 PM}$. How long, in minutes, was each day's lunch break?

Consider an $n$-by-$n$ board of unit squares for some odd positive integer $n$. We say that a collection $C$ of identical dominoes is a [i]maximal grid-aligned configuration[/i] on the board if $C$ consists of $(n^2-1)/2$ dominoes where each domino covers exactly two neighboring squares and the dominoes don't overlap: $C$ then covers all but one square on the board. We are allowed to slide (but not rotate) a domino on the board to cover the uncovered square, resulting in a new maximal grid-aligned configuration with another square uncovered. Let $k(C)$ be the number of distinct maximal grid-aligned configurations obtainable from $C$ by repeatedly sliding dominoes. Find the maximum value of $k(C)$ as a function of $n$.

Ed has five identical green marbles and a large supply of identical red marbles. He arranges the green marbles and some of the red marbles in a row and finds that the number of marbles whose right hand neighbor is the same color as themselves equals the number of marbles whose right hand neighbor is the other color. An example of such an arrangement is GGRRRGGRG. Let $m$ be the maximum number of red marbles for which Ed can make such an arrangement, and let $N$ be the number of ways in which Ed can arrange the $m+5$ marbles to satisfy the requirement. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by 1000.

A person starting with $64$ cents and making $6$ bets, wins three times and loses three times, the wins and losses occurring in random order. The chance for a win is equal to the chance for a loss. If each wager is for half the money remaining at the time of the bet, then the final result is:
$\textbf{(A)}\ \text{a loss of } 27 \qquad
\textbf{(B)}\ \text{a gain of }27 \qquad
\textbf{(C)}\ \text{a loss of }37 \qquad$
$
\textbf{(D)}\ \text{neither a gain nor a loss} \qquad
\textbf{(E)}\ \text{a gain or a loss depending upon the order in which the wins and losses occur}$

A rectangular floor measures $ a$ by $ b$ feet, where $ a$ and $ b$ are positive integers with $ b > a$. An artist paints a rectangle on the floor with the sides of the rectangle parallel to the sides of the floor. The unpainted part of the floor forms a border of width $ 1$ foot around the painted rectangle and occupies half of the area of the entire floor. How many possibilities are there for the ordered pair $ (a,b)$?
