[b]p1.[/b] A teenager coining home after midnight heard the hall clock striking the hour. At some moment between $15$ and $20$ minutes later, the minute hand hid the hour hand. To the nearest second, what time was it then? [b]p2.[/b] The ratio of two positive integers $a$ and $b$ is $2/7$, and their sum is a four digit number which is a perfect cube. Find all such integer pairs. [b]p3.[/b] Given the integers $1, 2 , ..., n$ , how many distinct numbers are of the form $\sum_{k=1}^n( \pm k) $ , where the sign ($\pm$) may be chosen as desired? Express answer as a function of $n$. For example, if $n = 5$ , then we may form numbers: $ 1 + 2 + 3- 4 + 5 = 7$ $-1 + 2 - 3- 4 + 5 = -1$ $1 + 2 + 3 + 4 + 5 = 15$ , etc. [b]p4.[/b] $\overline{DE}$ is a common external tangent to two intersecting circles with centers at $O$ and $O'$. Prove that the lines $AD$ and $BE$ are perpendicular.

Let $n$ be a positive integer. Ana and Banana play a game. Banana thinks of a function $f\colon\mathbb{Z}\to\mathbb{Z}$ and a prime number $p$. He tells Ana that $f$ is nonconstant, $p<100$, and $f(x+p)=f(x)$ for all integers $x$. Ana's goal is to determine the value of $p$. She writes down $n$ integers $x_1,\dots,x_n$. After seeing this list, Banana writes down $f(x_1),\dots,f(x_n)$ in order. Ana wins if she can determine the value of $p$ from this information. Find the smallest value of $n$ for which Ana has a winning strategy. [i]Anthony Wang[/i]
