Use the following description of a machine to solve the first 4 problems in the round. A machine displays four digits: $0000$. There are two buttons: button $A$ moves all digits one position to the left and fills the rightmost position with $0$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $2340$), and button $B$ adds $11$ to the current number, displaying only the last four digits if the sum is greater than $9999$ (for example, it changes $1234$ to $1245$, and changes $9998$ to $0009$). We can denote a sequence of moves by writing down the buttons pushed from left to right. A sequence of moves that outputs $2100$, for example, is $BABAA$. [b]p1[/b]. Give a sequence of $17$ or less moves so that the machine displays $2020$. [b]p2.[/b] Using the same machine, how many outputs are possible if you make at most three moves? [b]p3.[/b] Button $ B$ now adds n to the four digit display, while button $ A$ remains the same. For how many positive integers $n \le 20$ (including $11$) can every possible four-digit output be reached? [b]p4.[/b] Suppose the function of button $ A$ changes to: move all digits one position to the right and fill the leftmost position with $2$. Then, what is the minimum number of moves required for the machine to display $2020$, if it initially displays $0000$? [b]p5.[/b] In the figure below, every inscribed triangle has vertices that are on the midpoints of its circumscribed triangle’s sides. If the area of the largest triangle is $64$, what is the area of the shaded region?

Then, the bee turns $135^o$ clockwise, and flies $20$ forward meters. It continues by turning $60^o$ counterclockwise, and flies forward $14$ meters. Finally, the bee turns $120^o$ clockwise and flies another $14$ meters forward before finally finding a flower to pollinate. How far is the bee from its starting location in meters? [b]p7.[/b] All the digits of a $15$-digit number are either $p$ or $c$. $p$ shows up $3$ more times than $c$ does, and the average of the digits is $c - p$. What is $p + c$? [b]p8.[/b] Let $m$ be the sum of the factors of $75$ (including $1$ and $75$ itself). What is the ones digit of $m^{75}$ ? [b]p9.[/b] John flips a coin twice. For each flip, if it lands tails, he does nothing. If it lands heads, he rolls a fair $4$-sided die with sides labeled 1 through $4$. Let $a/b$ be the probability of never rolling a $3$, in simplest terms. What is $a + b$? [b]p10.[/b] Let $\vartriangle ABC$ have coordinates $(0, 0)$, $(0, 3)$,$(18, 0)$. Find the number of integer coordinates interior (excluding the vertices and edges) of the triangle. [b]p11.[/b] What is the greatest integer $k$ such that $2^k$ divides the value $20! \times 20^{20}$? [b]p12.[/b] David has $n$ pennies, where $n$ is a natural number. One apple costs $3$ pennies, one banana costs $5$ pennies, and one cranberry costs $7$ pennies. If David spends all his money on apples, he will have $2$ pennies left; if David spends all his money on bananas, he will have $4$ pennies left; is David spends all his money on cranberries, he will have $6$ pennies left. What is the second least possible amount of pennies that David can have? [b]p13.[/b] Elvin is currently at Hopperville which is $40$ miles from Waltimore and $50$ miles from Boshington DC. He takes a taxi back to Waltimore, but unfortunately the taxi gets lost. Elvin now finds himself at Kinsville, but he notices that he is still $40$ miles from Waltimore and $50$ miles from Boshington $DC$. If Waltimore and Boshington DC are $30$ miles apart, What is the maximum possible distance between Hopperville and Kinsville? [b]p14.[/b] After dinner, Rick asks his father for $1000$ scoops of ice cream as dessert. Rick’s father responds, “I will give you $2$ scoops of ice cream, plus $ 1$ additional scoop for every ordered pair $(a, b)$ of real numbers satisfying $\frac{1}{a + b}= \frac{1}{a}+ \frac{1}{b}$ you can find.” If Rick finds every solution to the equation, how many scoops of ice cream will he receive? [b]p15.[/b] Esther decides to hold a rock-paper-scissors tournament for the $56$ students at her school. As a rule, competitors must lose twice before they are eliminated. Each round, all remaining competitors are matched together in best-of-1 rock-paper-scissors duels. If there is an odd number of competitors in a round, one random competitor will not compete that round. What is the maximum number of matches needed to determine the rock-paper-scissors champion? [b]p16.[/b] $ABCD$ is a rectangle. $X$ is a point on $\overline{AD}$, $Y$ is a point on $\overline{AB}$, and $N$ is a point outside $ABCD$ such that $XYNC$ is also a rectangle and $YN$ intersects $\overline{BC}$ at its midpoint $M$. $ \angle BYM = 45^o$. If $MN = 5$, what is the sum of the areas of $ABCD$ and $XYNC$? [b]p17. [/b] Mr. Brown has $10$ identical chocolate donuts and $15$ identical glazed donuts. He knows that Amar wants $6$ donuts, Benny wants $9$ donuts, and Callie wants $9$ donuts. How many ways can he distribute out his $25$ donuts? [b]p18.[/b] When Eric gets on the bus home, he notices his $ 12$-hour watch reads $03: 30$, but it isn’t working as expected. The second hand makes a full rotation in $4$ seconds, then makes another in $8$ seconds, then another in $ 12$ seconds, and so on until it makes a full rotation in $60$ seconds. Then it repeats this process, and again makes a full rotation in $4$ second, then $8$ seconds, etc. Meanwhile, the minute hand and hour hand continue to function as if every full rotation of the second hand represents $60$ seconds. When Eric gets off the bus $75$ minutes later, his watch reads $AB: CD$. What is $A + B + C + D$? [b]p19.[/b] Alex and Betty want to meet each other at the airport. Alex will arrive at the airport between $12: 00$ and $13: 15$, and will wait for Betty for $15$ minutes before he leaves. Betty will arrive at the airport between $12: 30$ and $13: 10$, and will wait for Alex for $10$ minutes before she leaves. The chance that they arrive at any time in their respective time intervals is equally likely. The probability that they will meet at the airport can be expressed as $a/b$ where $a/b$ is a fraction written in simplest form. What is $a + b$? [b]p20.[/b] Let there be $\vartriangle ABC$ such that $A = (0, 0)$, $B = (23, 0)$, $C = (a, b)$. Furthermore, $D$, the center of the circle that circumscribes $\vartriangle ABC$, lies on $\overline{AB}$. Let $\angle CDB = 150^o$. If the area of $\vartriangle ABC$ is $m/n$ where $m, n$ are in simplest integer form, find the value of $m \,\, \mod \,\,n$ (The remainder of $m$ divided by $n$). PS.
