Let's call a natural number a palindrome, the decimal notation of which is equally readable from left to right and right to left (decimal notation cannot start from zero; for example, the number $1221$ is a palindrome, but the numbers $1231, 1212$ and $1010$ are not). Which palindromes among the numbers from $10,000$ to $999,999$ have an odd sum of digits, which have an one even, and how many times are the ones with odd sum more than the ones with the even sum?

Let $\triangle A_1A_2A_3$ be an equilateral triangle with unit side length. For $k = 1$, $2$, and $3$, let $B_k$ be the point on the boundary of $\triangle A_1A_2A_3$ located $1/3$ unit away from $A_k$ in the clockwise direction and let $C_k$ be the point on the boundary of $\triangle A_1A_2A_3$ located $1/3$ unit away from $A_k$ in the counterclockwise direction.

Angelina drove at an average rate of $ 80$ kph and then stopped $ 20$ minutes for gas. After the stop, she drove at an average rate of $ 100$ kph. Altogether she drove $ 250$ km in a total trip time of $ 3$ hours including the stop. Which equation could be used to solve for the time $ t$ in hours that she drove before her stop? $ \textbf{(A)}\ 80t\plus{}100(8/3\minus{}t)\equal{}250 \qquad \textbf{(B)}\ 80t\equal{}250 \qquad \textbf{(C)}\ 100t\equal{}250 \\ \textbf{(D)}\ 90t\equal{}250 \qquad \textbf{(E)}\ 80(8/3\minus{}t)\plus{}100t\equal{}250$

$16$ progamers are playing in a single elimination tournament. Each player has a different skill level and when two play against each other the one with the higher skill level will always win. Each round, each progamer plays a match against another and the loser is eliminated. This continues until only one remains. How many different progamers can reach the round that has $2$ players remaining?

There are $64$ booths around a circular table and on each one there is a chip. The chips and the corresponding booths are numbered $1$ to $64$ in this order. At the center of the table there are $1996$ light bulbs which are all turned off. Every minute the chips move simultaneously in a circular way (following the numbering sense) as follows: chip $1$ moves one booth, chip $2$ moves two booths, etc., so that more than one chip can be in the same booth. At any minute, for each chip sharing a booth with chip $1$ a bulb is lit. Where is chip $1$ on the first minute in which all bulbs are lit?
