Ralph is standing along a road which heads straight east. If you go nine miles east, make a left turn, and travel seven miles north, you will find Pamela with her mountain bike. At exactly the same time that Ralph begins running eastward along the road at 6 miles per hour, Pamela begins biking in a straight line at 10 miles per hour. Pamela’s direction is chosen so that she will reach a point on the road where Ralph is running at exactly the same time Ralph reaches that same point. Let $M$ and $N$ be relatively prime positive integers such that $\frac{M}{N}$ is the number of hours that it takes Pamela and Ralph to meet. Find $M+N$.

a) Show that the set $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }$ of all positive rationals can be partitioned into three disjoint subsets. $ A,B,C$ satisfying the following conditions:
\[ BA = B; \& B^2 = C; \& BC = A;
\]
where $ HK$ stands for the set $ \{hk: h \in H, k \in K\}$ for any two subsets $ H, K$ of $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }$ and $ H^2$ stands for $ HH.$
b) Show that all positive rational cubes are in $ A$ for such a partition of $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + }.$
c) Find such a partition $ \mathbb{Q}^{ + } = A \cup B \cup C$ with the property that for no positive integer $ n \leq 34,$ both $ n$ and $ n + 1$ are in $ A,$ that is,
\[ \text{min} \{n \in \mathbb{N}: n \in A, n + 1 \in A \} > 34.

Suppose that $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers with $A = \tfrac mn$, where
\[ A = \frac{2+4+6+\dots+2014}{1+3+5+\dots+2013} - \frac{1+3+5+\dots+2013}{2+4+6+\dots+2014}. \] Find $m$. In other words, find the numerator of $A$ when $A$ is written as a fraction in simplest form.

For positive integers $n$, let $s(n)$ denote the sum of the squares of the positive integers less than or equal to $n$ that are relatively prime to $n$. Find the greatest integer less than or equal to \[ \sum_{n\mid 2013} \frac{s(n)}{n^2}, \] where the summation runs over all positive integers $n$ dividing $2013$.

Find all $a,b,c \in \mathbb{N}$ such that
\[a^2b|a^3+b^3+c^3,\qquad b^2c|a^3+b^3+c^3, \qquad c^2a|a^3+b^3+c^3.\]
[PS: The original problem was this:
Find all $a,b,c \in \mathbb{N}$ such that
\[a^2b|a^3+b^3+c^3,\qquad b^2c|a^3+b^3+c^3, \qquad \color{red}{c^2b}|a^3+b^3+c^3.\]
But I think the author meant $c^2a|a^3+b^3+c^3$, just because of symmetry]

Show that there are infintely many pairs $(a,b)$ of relatively prime integers (not necessarily positive) such that both the equations \begin{eqnarray*} x^2 +ax +b &=& 0 \\ x^2 + 2ax + b &=& 0 \\ \end{eqnarray*} have integer roots.

For each positive integer $n$, let $\tau\left(n\right)$ be the number of positive divisors of $n$. It is well-known that if $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime positive integers then $\tau\left(ab\right)=\tau\left(a\right)\tau\left(b\right)$. Does the converse hold? That is, if $a$ and $b$ are positive integers such that $\tau\left(ab\right)=\tau\left(a\right)\tau\left(b\right)$, then is it necessarily true that $a$ and $b$ are relatively prime? Either give a proof, or find a counter-example.

A triangular array of numbers has a first row consisting of the odd integers $ 1,3,5,\ldots,99$ in increasing order. Each row below the first has one fewer entry than the row above it, and the bottom row has a single entry. Each entry in any row after the top row equals the sum of the two entries diagonally above it in the row immediately above it. How many entries in the array are multiples of $ 67$?

Each of $27$ bricks (right rectangular prisms) has dimensions $a \times b \times c$, where $a$, $b$, and $c$ are pairwise relatively prime positive integers. These bricks are arranged to form a $3 \times 3 \times 3$ block, as shown on the left below. A $28$[sup]th[/sup] brick with the same dimensions is introduced, and these bricks are reconfigured into a $2 \times 2 \times 7$ block, shown on the right. The new block is $1$ unit taller, $1$ unit wider, and $1$ unit deeper than the old one. What is $a + b + c$?

Let $\, a,b \,$ be odd positive integers. Define the sequence $\, (f_n ) \,$ by putting $\, f_1 = a,$ $f_2 = b, \,$ and by letting $\, f_n \,$ for $\, n \geq 3 \,$ be the greatest odd divisor of $\, f_{n-1} + f_{n-2}$.

You drop a 7 cm long piece of mechanical pencil lead on the floor. A bully takes the lead and breaks it at a random point into two pieces. A piece of lead is unusable if it is 2 cm or shorter. If the expected value of the number of usable pieces afterwards is $\frac{m}n$ for relatively prime positive integers $m$ and $n$, compute $100m + n$.
