Let $\{a,b,c,d,e,f,g,h,i\}$ be a permutation of $\{1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9\}$ such that $\gcd(c,d)=\gcd(f,g)=1$ and \[(10a+b)^{c/d}=e^{f/g}.\] Given that $h>i$, evaluate $10h+i$. [i]Proposed by James Lin[/i]

Two three-dimensional objects are said to have the same coloring if you can orient one object (by moving or turning it) so that it is indistinguishable from the other. For example, suppose we have two unit cubes sitting on a table, and the faces of one cube are all black except for the top face which is red, and the the faces of the other cube are all black except for the bottom face, which is colored red. Then these two cubes have the same coloring. In how many different ways can you color the edges of a regular tetrahedron, coloring two edges red, two edges black, and two edges green? (A regular tetrahedron has four faces that are each equilateral triangles. The figure below depicts one coloring of a tetrahedron, using thick, thin, and dashed lines to indicate three colors.)

Let $f$ be the unique polynomial of degree at most $2026$ such that for all $n \in \{1,2, 3, \ldots, 2027\},$ $$f(n)=\begin{cases} 1 & \text{if } $n$ \text{ is a perfect square}, \\ 0 & \text{otherwise.} \end{cases}$$ Suppose that $\tfrac{a}{b}$ is the coefficient of $x^{2025}$ in $f,$ where $a$ and $b$ are integers such that $\gcd(a,b)=1.$ Compute the unique integer $r$ between $0$ and $2026$ (inclusive) such that $a-rb$ is divisible by $2027.$ (Note that $2027$ is prime.)

2019 PUMaC Combinatorics A, 7

In the country of PUMACsboro, there are $n$ distinct cities labelled $1$ through $n$. There is a rail line going from city $i$ to city $j$ if and only if $i<j$; you can only take this rail line from city $i$ to city $j$. What is the smallest possible value of $n$ such that if each rail line's track is painted orange or black, you can always take the train between $2019$ cities on tracks that are all the same color? (This means there are some cities $c_1,c_2,\dots,c_{2019}$ such that there is a rail line going from city $c_i$ to $c_{i+1}$ for all $1\leq i\leq 2018$ and their rail lines' tracks are either all orange or all black.)

Paul is in the desert and has a pile of gypsum crystals. No matter how he divides the pile into two nonempty piles, at least one of the resulting piles has a number of crystals that, when written in base $10,$ has a sum of digits at least $7.$ Given that Paul’s initial pile has at least two crystals, compute the smallest possible number of crystals in the initial pile.

For how many unordered sets $\{a,b,c,d\}$ of positive integers, none of which exceed $168$, do there exist integers $w,x,y,z$ such that $(-1)^wa+(-1)^xb+(-1)^yc+(-1)^zd=168$? If your answer is $A$ and the correct answer is $C$, then your score on this problem will be $\left\lfloor25e^{-3\frac{|C-A|}C}\right\rfloor$.

In a country, mathematicians chose an $\alpha> 2$ and issued coins in denominations of 1 ruble, as well as $\alpha ^k$ rubles for each positive integer k. $\alpha$ was chosen so that the value of each coins, except the smallest, was irrational. Is it possible that any natural number of rubles can be formed with at most 6 of each denomination of coins?

An event occurs many years ago. It occurs periodically in $x$ consecutive years, then there is a break of $y$ consecutive years. We know that the event occured in $1964$, $1986$, $1996$, $2008$ and it didn't occur in $1976$, $1993$, $2006$, $2013$. What is the first year in that the event will occur again?
