[hide=instructions]Time limit: 20 minutes. Fill in the crossword above with answers to the problems below. Notice that there are three directions instead of two. You are probably used to "down" and "across," but this crossword has "1," $e^{4\pi i/3}$, and $e^{5\pi i/3}$. You can think of these labels as complex numbers pointing in the direction to fill in the spaces. In other words "1" means "across", $e^{4\pi i/3}$ means "down and to the left," and $e^{5\pi i/3}$ means "down and to the right." To fill in the answer to, for example, $12$ across, start at the hexagon labeled $12$, and write the digits, proceeding to the right along the gray line. (Note: $12$ across has space for exactly $5$ digits.) Each hexagon is worth one point, and must be filled by something from the set $\{0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9\}$. Note that $\pi$ is not in the set, and neither is $i$, nor $\sqrt2$, nor $\heartsuit$,etc. None of the answers will begin with a $0$. "Concatenate $a$ and $b$" means to write the digits of $a$, followed by the digits of $b$. For example, concatenating $10$ and $3$ gives $103$. (It's not the same as concatenating $3$ and $10$.) Calculators are allowed! THIS SHEET IS PROVIDED FOR YOUR REFERENCE ONLY. DO NOT TURN IN THIS SHEET. TURN IN THE OFFICIAL ANSWER SHEET PROVIDED TO THE TEAM. OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET A SCORE OF ZERO!

You two start off at some point $(x, y)$ on the plane, where $x$ and $y$ are nonnegative integers. When it is player $A$'s turn, A tells his opponent $B$ to move to another point on the plane. Then $A$ waits for a while. If $B$ is not eaten by a tiger, then $A$ moves to that point as well. From a point $(x, y)$ there are three places $A$ can tell $B$ to walk to: leftwards to $(x - 1, y)$, downwards to $(x, y-1)$, and simultaneously downwards and leftwards to $(x-1, y-1)$. However, you cannot move to a point with a negative coordinate. Now, what was this about being eaten by a tiger? There is a tiger at the origin, which will eat the first person that goes there! Needless to say, you lose if you are eaten. Consider all possible starting points $(x, y)$ with $0 \le x \le 346$ and $0 \le y \le 346$, and $x$ and $y$ are not both zero.
