A student performed an experiment to determine the ratio of $\text{H}_2\text{O}$ to $\text{CuSO}_4$ in a sample of hydrated copper(II) sulfate by heating it to drive off the water and weighing the solid before and after heating. The formula obtained experimentally was $\text{CuSO}_4 \bullet 5.5\text{H}_2\text{O}$ but the accepted formula is $\text{CuSO}_4 \bullet 5 \text{H}_2\text{O}$. Which error best accounts for the difference in results?
$ \textbf{(A)}\ \text{During heating some of the hydrated copper(II) sulfate was lost} \qquad$
$\textbf{(B)}\ \text{The hydrated sample was not heated long enough to drive off all the water}\qquad$
$\textbf{(C)}\ \text{The student weighed out too much sample initially.} \qquad$
$\textbf{(D)}\ \text{The student used a balance that gave weights that were consistently too high by 0.10 g }\qquad$

Let $f_0$ be the function from $\mathbb{Z}^2$ to $\{0,1\}$ such that $f_0(0,0)=1$ and $f_0(x,y)=0$ otherwise. For each positive integer $m$, let $f_m(x,y)$ be the remainder when \[ f_{m-1}(x,y) + \sum_{j=-1}^{1} \sum_{k=-1}^{1} f_{m-1}(x+j,y+k) \] is divided by $2$.
Finally, for each nonnegative integer $n$, let $a_n$ denote the number of pairs $(x,y)$ such that $f_n(x,y) = 1$.
Find a closed form for $a_n$.

Let $a_1, a_2, a_3, ...$ be a monotonically decreasing sequence of positive real numbers converging to zero. Suppose that $\Sigma_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{a_i}{i}$ diverges. Show that $\Sigma_{i=1}^{\infty}a_i^{2^{2017}}$ also diverges. You may assume in your proof that $\Sigma_{i=1}^{\infty}\frac{1}{i^p}$ converges for all real numbers $p > 1$. (A sum $\Sigma_{i=1}^{\infty}b_i$ of positive real numbers $b_i$ diverges if for each real number $N$ there is a positive integer $k$ such that $b_1+b_2+...+b_k > N$.)

A number is written on the board. Petya can change the number on the board to the sum of the squares of digits of the number on the board. A number is called interesting if Petya, when starting from this number, will not ever get the number on the board to be $1$.
Prove that there infinitely many interesting numbers.

A baseball is dropped on top of a basketball. The basketball hits the ground, rebounds with a speed of $4.0 \text{ m/s}$, and collides with the baseball as it is moving downward at $4.0 \text{ m/s}$. After the collision, the baseball moves upward as shown in the figure and the basketball is instantaneously at rest right after the collision. The mass of the baseball is $0.2 \text{ kg}$ and the mass of the basketball is $0.5 \text{ kg}$. Ignore air resistance and ignore any changes in velocities due to gravity during the very short collision times. The speed of the baseball right after colliding with the upward moving basketball is

Alice and Bob are playing a year number game.
There will be two game numbers $19$ and $20$ and one starting number from the set $\{9, 10\}$ used. Alice chooses independently her game number and Bob chooses the starting number. The other number is given to Bob. Then Alice adds her game number to the starting number, Bob adds his game number to the result, Alice adds her number of games to the result, etc. The game continues until the number $2019$ is reached or exceeded.
Whoever reaches the number $2019$ wins. If $2019$ is exceeded, the game ends in a draw.
$\bullet$ Show that Bob cannot win.
$\bullet$ What starting number does Bob have to choose to prevent Alice from winning?
