Given the polynomial $a_0x^n+a_1x^{n-1}+\cdots+a_{n-1}x+a_n$, where $n$ is a positive integer or zero, and $a_0$ is a positive integer. The remaining $a$'s are integers or zero. Set $h=n+a_0+|a_1|+|a_2|+\cdots+|a_n|$. [See example 25 for the meaning of $|x|$.] The number of polynomials with $h=3$ is: $ \textbf{(A)}\ 3\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 6\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 7\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 9 $

For any integer $k\ge1$, let $p(k)$ be the smallest prime which does not divide $k$. Define the integer function $X(k)$ to be the product of all primes less than $p(k)$ if $p(k)>2$, and $X(k)=1$ if $p(k)=2$. Let $\{x_n\}$ be the sequence defined by $x_0=1$, and $x_{n+1}X(x_n)=x_np(x_n)$ for $n\ge0$. Find the smallest positive integer, $t$ such that $x_t=2090$.

Farmer Pythagoras has a field in the shape of a right triangle. The right triangle's legs have lengths 3 and 4 units. In the corner where those sides meet at a right angle, he leaves a small unplanted square $S$ so that from the air it looks like the right angle symbol. The rest of the field is planted. The shortest distance from $S$ to the hypotenuse is 2 units. What fraction of the field is planted?
