Let $ A$ and $ B$ be the endpoints of a semicircular arc of radius $ 2$. The arc is divided into seven congruent arcs by six equally spaced points $ C_1,C_2,\ldots,C_6$. All chords of the form $ \overline{AC_i}$ or $ \overline{BC_i}$ are drawn. Let $ n$ be the product of the lengths of these twelve chords. Find the remainder when $ n$ is divided by $ 1000$.

Find the number of positive integers $n$ with exactly $1974$ factors such that no prime greater than $40$ divides $n$, and $n$ ends in one of the digits $1$, $3$, $7$, $9$. (Note that $1974 = 2 \cdot 3 \cdot 7 \cdot 47$.) [i]Proposed by Yonah Borns-Weil[/i]

This is an ARML Super Relay! I'm sure you know how this works! You start from #1 and #15 and meet in the middle. We are going to require you to solve all $15$ problems, though -- so for the entire task, submit the sum of all the answers, rather than just the answer to #8. Also, uhh, we can't actually find the slip for #1. Sorry about that. Have fun anyways! Problem 2. Let $T = TNYWR$. Find the number of way to distribute $6$ indistinguishable pieces of candy to $T$ hungry (and distinguishable) schoolchildren, such that each child gets at most one piece of candy. Problem 3. Let $T = TNYWR$. If $d$ is the largest proper divisor of $T$, compute $\frac12 d$. Problem 4. Let $T = TNYWR$ and flip $4$ fair coins. Suppose the probability that at most $T$ heads appear is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Compute $m+n$. Problem 5. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the last digit of $T^T$ in base $10$. Problem 6. Let $T = TNYWR$ and flip $6$ fair coins. Suppose the probability that at most $T$ heads appear is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Compute $m+n$. Problem 7. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the smallest prime $p$ for which $n^T \not\equiv n \pmod{p}$ for some integer $n$. Problem 8. Let $M$ and $N$ be the two answers received, with $M \le N$. Compute the number of integer quadruples $(w,x,y,z)$ with $w+x+y+z = M \sqrt{wxyz}$ and $1 \le w,x,y,z \le N$. Problem 9. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the smallest integer $n$ with $n \ge 2$ such that $n$ is coprime to $T+1$, and there exists positive integers $a$, $b$, $c$ with $a^2+b^2+c^2 = n(ab+bc+ca)$. Problem 10. Let $T = TNYWR$ and flip $10$ fair coins. Suppose the probability that at most $T$ heads appear is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Compute $m+n$. Problem 11. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the last digit of $T^T$ in base $10$. Problem 12. Let $T = TNYWR$ and flip $12$ fair coins. Suppose the probability that at most $T$ heads appear is $\frac mn$, where $m$ and $n$ are coprime positive integers. Compute $m+n$. Problem 13. Let $T = TNYWR$. If $d$ is the largest proper divisor of $T$, compute $\frac12 d$. Problem 14. Let $T = TNYWR$. Compute the number of way to distribute $6$ indistinguishable pieces of candy to $T$ hungry (and distinguishable) schoolchildren, such that each child gets at most one piece of candy. Also, we can't find the slip for #15, either. We think the SFBA coaches stole it to prevent us from winning the Super Relay, but that's not going to stop us, is it? We have another #15 slip that produces an equivalent answer. Here you go! Problem 15. Let $A$, $B$, $C$ be the answers to #8, #9, #10. Compute $\gcd(A,C) \cdot B$.

You have some white one-by-one tiles and some black and white two-bye-one tiles as shown below. There are four different color patterns that can be generated when using these tiles to cover a three-by-one rectangoe by laying these tiles side by side (WWW, BWW, WBW, WWB). How many different color patterns can be generated when using these tiles to cover a ten-by-one rectangle?

At ARML, Santa is asked to give rubber duckies to $2013$ students, one for each student. The students are conveniently numbered $1,2,\cdots,2013$, and for any integers $1 \le m < n \le 2013$, students $m$ and $n$ are friends if and only if $0 \le n-2m \le 1$. Santa has only four different colors of duckies, but because he wants each student to feel special, he decides to give duckies of different colors to any two students who are either friends or who share a common friend. Let $N$ denote the number of ways in which he can select a color for each student. Find the remainder when $N$ is divided by $1000$. [i]Proposed by Lewis Chen[/i]
