[b]p1.[/b] While computing $7 - 2002 \cdot x$, John accidentally evaluates from left to right $((7 - 2002) \cdot x)$ instead of correctly using order of operations $(7 - (2002 \cdot x))$. If he gets the correct answer anyway, what is $x$? [b]p2.[/b] Given that $$x^2 + y^2 + z^2 = 6$$ $$ \left( \frac{x}{y} + \frac{y}{x} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{y}{z} + \frac{z}{y} \right)^2 + \left( \frac{z}{x} + \frac{x}{z} \right)^2 = 16.5,$$ what is $\frac{1}{x^2} + \frac{1}{y^2} + \frac{1}{z^2}$ ? [b]p3.[/b] Evaluate $$\frac{tan \frac{\pi}{4}}{4}+\frac{tan \frac{3\pi}{4}}{8}+\frac{tan \frac{5\pi}{4}}{16}+\frac{tan \frac{7\pi}{4}}{32}+ ...$$ [b]p4.[/b] Note that $2002 = 22 \cdot 91$, and so $2002$ is a multiple of the number obtained by removing its middle $2$ digits. Generalizing this, how many $4$-digit palindromes, $abba$, are divisible by the $2$-digit palindrome, $aa$?

If $F$ is the midpoint of $\overline{DE}$ and $G$ is the midpoint of $\overline{AC}$, what is the length of $\overline{DE}$? [b]p6.[/b] Suppose $a_1, a_2,..., a_{100}$ are real numbers with the property that $$i(a_1 + a_2 +... + a_i) = 1 + (a_{i+1} + a_{i+2} + ... + a_{100})$$ for all $i$. Compute $a_{10}$.

[b]p8.[/b] In the number game, a pair of positive integers $(n,m)$ is written on a blackboard. Two players then take turns doing the following: 1. If $n \ge m$, the player chooses a positive integer $c$ such that $n - cm \ge 0$, and replaces $(n,m)$ with $(n - cm,m)$. 2. If $m > n$, the player chooses a positive integer $c$ such that $m - cn \ge 0$, and replaces $(n,m)$ with $(n,m - cn)$. If $m$ or $n$ ever become $0$, the game ends, and the last player to have moved is declared the winner. If $(n,m)$ are originally $(20021000, 2002)$, what choices of $c$ are winning moves for the first player? PS. You had better use hide for answers.

Two non-intersecting circles, $\omega$ and $\Omega$, have centers $C_\omega$ and $C_\Omega$ respectively. It is given that the radius of $\Omega$ is strictly larger than the radius of $\omega$. The two common external tangents of $\Omega$ and $\omega$ intersect at a point $P$, and an internal tangent of the two circles intersects the common external tangents at $X$ and $Y$. Suppose that the radius of $\omega$ is $4$, the circumradius of $\triangle PXY$ is $9$, and $XY$ bisects $\overline{PC_\Omega}$. Compute $XY$.

Horses X, Y and Z are entered in a three-horse race in which ties are not possible. If the odds against X winning are $3-to-1$ and the odds against Y winning are $2-to-3$, what are the odds against Z winning? (By "[i]odds against H winning are p-to-q[/i]" we mean that probability of H winning the race is $\frac{q}{p+q}$.) $ \textbf{(A)}\ 3-to-20\qquad\textbf{(B)}\ 5-to-6\qquad\textbf{(C)}\ 8-to-5\qquad\textbf{(D)}\ 17-to-3\qquad\textbf{(E)}\ 20-to-3 $
