The board contains $20$ non-constant linear functions, not necessarily distinct. For each pair $(f, g)$ of these functions ($190$ pairs in total), Victor writes on the board a quadratic function $f(x)\cdot g(x) - 2$, and Solomiya writes on the board a quadratic function $f(x)g(x)-1$. Victor calculated that exactly $V$ of his quadratic functions have a root, and Solomiya calculated that exactly $S$ of her quadratic functions have a root. Find the largest possible value of $S-V$. [i]Remarks.[/i] A linear function $y = kx+b$ is called non-constant if $k\neq 0$. [i]Proposed by Oleksiy Masalitin[/i]

Mr. Jones teaches algebra. He has a whiteboard with a pre-drawn coordinate grid that runs from $-10$ to $10$ in both the $x$ and $y$ coordinates. Consequently, when he illustrates the graph of a quadratic, he likes to use a quadratic with the following properties: I. The quadratic sends integers to integers. II. The quadratic has distinct integer roots both between $-10$ and $10$, inclusive. III. The vertex of the quadratic has integer $x$ and $y$ coordinates both between $-10$ and $10$, inclusive. How many quadratics are there with these properties?

Let $s(n)$ be the final value obtained after repeatedly summing the digits of $n$ until a single-digit number is reached. (For example: $s(187) = 7$, because the digit sum of $187$ is $16$ and the digit sum of $16$ is $7$). Evaluate the sum: $$ s(1^2) + s(2^2) + s(3^2) + \ldots + s(2025^2)$$ [i]Proposed by Lia Chitishvili, Georgia [/i]

Terry drove along a scenic road using $9$ gallons of gasoline. Then Terry went onto the freeway and used $17$ gallons of gasoline. Assuming that Terry gets $6.5$ miles per gallon better gas mileage on the freeway than on the scenic road, and Terry’s average gas mileage for the entire trip was $30$ miles per gallon, find the number of miles Terry drove.
