Consider a curve $C$ on the $x$-$y$ plane expressed by $x=\tan \theta ,\ y=\frac{1}{\cos \theta}\left (0\leq \theta <\frac{\pi}{2}\right)$. For a constant $t>0$, let the line $l$ pass through the point $P(t,\ 0)$ and is perpendicular to the $x$-axis,intersects with the curve $C$ at $Q$. Denote by $S_1$ the area of the figure bounded by the curve $C$, the $x$-axis, the $y$-axis and the line $l$, and denote by $S_2$ the area of $\triangle{OPQ}$. Find $\lim_{t\to\infty} \frac{S_1-S_2}{\ln t}.$

Resting against one wall at $Q$, the distance $k$ above the ground makes a $45^\circ$ angle with the ground. Resting against the other wall at $R$, a distance $h$ above the ground, the ladder makes a $75^\circ$ angle with the ground. The width $w$ is equal to $\textbf {(A) } a \qquad \textbf {(B) } RQ \qquad \textbf {(C) } k \qquad \textbf {(D) } \frac{h+k}{2} \qquad \textbf {(E) } h$

Consider increasing integer sequences with elements from $1,\ldots,10^6$. Such a sequence is [i]Adriatic[/i] if its first element equals 1 and if every element is at least twice the preceding element. A sequence is [i]Tyrrhenian[/i] if its final element equals $10^6$ and if every element is strictly greater than the sum of all preceding elements. Decide whether the number of Adriatic sequences is smaller than, equal to, or greater than the number of Tyrrhenian sequences. (Proposed by Gerhard Woeginger, Austria)

Show that $ \rho (f)$ changes continously over $ f$. It means for every bijection $ f: S^1\rightarrow S^1$ and $ \epsilon > 0$ there is $ \delta > 0$ such that if $ g: S^1\rightarrow S^1$ is a bijection such that $ \parallel{}f \minus{} g\parallel{} < \delta$ then $ |\rho(f) \minus{} \rho(g)| < \epsilon$. Note that $ \rho(f)$ is the rotatation number of $ f$ and $ \parallel{}f \minus{} g\parallel{} \equal{} \sup\{|f(x) \minus{} g(x)| | x\in S^1\}$.

A stone is placed in a square of a chessboard with $n$ rows and $n$ columns. We can alternately undertake two operations: [b](a)[/b] move the stone to a square that shares a common side with the square in which it stands; [b](b)[/b] move it to a square sharing only one common vertex with the square in which it stands. In addition, we are required that the first step must be [b](b)[/b]. Find all integers $n$ such that the stone can go through a certain path visiting every square exactly once.

Under the new AMC 10, 12 scoring method, $6$ points are given for each correct answer, $2.5$ points are given for each unanswered question, and no points are given for an incorrect answer. Some of the possible scores between $0$ and $150$ can be obtained in only one way, for example, the only way to obtain a score of $146.5$ is to have 24 correct answers and one unanswered question. Some scores can be obtained in exactly two ways; for example, a score of $104.5$ can be obtained with $17$ correct answers, $1$ unanswered question, and $7$ incorrect, and also with $12$ correct answers and $13$ unanswered questions. There are three scores that can be obtained in exactly three ways. What is their sum? $\textbf{(A) }175\qquad\textbf{(B) }179.5\qquad\textbf{(C) }182\qquad\textbf{(D) }188.5\qquad\textbf{(E) }201$
