There are twenty-four 4-digit numbers that use each of the four digits 2, 5, 7, and 4exactly once. Listed in numerical order from smallest to largest, the number in the $17th$ position in the list is $ \text{(A)}\ 4527\qquad\text{(B)}\ 5724\qquad\text{(C)}\ 5742\qquad\text{(D)}\ 7245\qquad\text{(E)}\ 7524 $
Find the smallest natural number n such that for all integers $m > n$ there are positive integers $x$ and $y$ for which the equality 1$7x + 23y = m$ holds
A [b]palindrome[/b] is a whole number that reads the same forwards and backwards. If one neglects the colon, certain times displayed on a digital watch are palindromes. Three examples are: $ \boxed{1:01} $, $ \boxed{12:21} $. How many times during a 12-hour period will be palindromes? $ \text{(A)}\ 57\qquad\text{(B)}\ 60\qquad\text{(C)}\ 63\qquad\text{(D)}\ 90\qquad\text{(E)}\ 93 $
Let $P$ be a polynomial of degree greater than or equal to $4$ with integer coefficients. An integer $x$ is called $P$-[i]representable[/i] if there exists integer numbers $a$ and $b$ such that $x = P(a) - P(b)$. Prove that, if for all $N \geq 0$, more than half of the integers of the set $\{0,1,\dots,N\}$ are $P$-[i]representable[/i], then all the even integers are $P$-[i]representable[/i] or all the odd integers are $P$-[i]representable[/i].
Proctors Andy and Kristin have a PUMaC team of eight students labelled $s_1, s_2, ... , s_8$ (the PUMaC staff being awful with names). The following occurs: $1$. Andy tells the students to arrange themselves in a line in arbitrary order. $2$. Kristin tells each student $s_i$ to move to the current spot of student $s_j$ , where $j \equiv 3i + 1$ (mod $8$). $3$. Andy tells each student $s_i$ to move to the current spot of the student who was in the $i$th position of the line after step $1$. How many possible orders can the students be in now?
If $n$ is a positive integer such that $1+2+3+\cdots+n=190$, then what is $n$?
Annisa has $n$ distinct textbooks, where $n > 6$. She has a different ways to pick a group of $4$ books, b different ways to pick $5$ books and c different ways to pick $6$ books. If Annisa buys two more (distinct) textbooks, how many ways will she be able to pick a group of $6$ books?
Let $O$ be the intersection of the diagonals of convex quadrilateral $ABCD$. The circumcircles of $\triangle{OAD}$ and $\triangle{OBC}$ meet at $O$ and $M$. Line $OM$ meets the circumcircles of $\triangle{OAB}$ and $\triangle{OCD}$ at $T$ and $S$ respectively. Prove that $M$ is the midpoint of $ST$.
Four congruent semicircular half-disks are arranged inside a circle with radius $4$ so that each semicircle is internally tangent to the circle, and the diameters of the semicircles form a $2\times 2$ square centered at the center of the circle as shown. The radius of each semicircular half-disk is $\frac{m}{n}$ , where $m$ and $n$ are relatively prime positive integers. Find $m + n$.

Let $ABCD$ be a cyclic quadrilateral whose sides have pairwise different lengths. Let $O$ be the circumcenter of $ABCD$.

Prove that $O$ lies on the line $\overline{O_BO_D}$.
The letters $R, M$, and $O$ represent whole numbers. If $R \times M \times O = 240$, $R \times O + M =46$ and $R + M \times O = 64$, what is the value of $R + M + O$?
Find all pairs $(b,c)$ of positive integers, such that the sequence defined by $a_1=b$, $a_2=c$ and $a_{n+2}= \left| 3a_{n+1}-2a_n \right|$ for $n \geq 1$ has only finite number of composite terms. [i]Proposed by Oleg Mushkarov and Nikolai Nikolov[/i]
Sarah intended to multiply a two-digit number and a three-digit number, but she left out the multiplication sign and simply placed the two-digit number to the left of the three-digit number, thereby forming a five-digit number. This number is exactly nine times the product Sarah should have obtained. What is the sum of the two-digit number and the three-digit number?
