This is a test containing 15 questions which cover the topics of algebra, geometry, combinatorics and number theory. 2. Scratch paper, ruler, compass and protractor are permitted. Try not to use calculators in the entire test.2 Computers (WolframAlpha etc. included) are not allowed. 3. (Important) How to submit your answers: we’re glad we make a Google Form as a tool for submission of your answers, which will be attached along with this test sheet. In the form, please write your name first (this is required!), then on each question/problem write your correct answer. All answers are integers from 0 to 999; if your answer is a one-digit number X, please write X and if it is a two-digit answer XY, write XY. (It’s useless to pad zeros before your answer if it is less than three digits, because Google truncates these zeros.) If you didn’t have an answer for a particular question, please leave that question unanswered. The deadline of submission is on 20 November 2014, 23:59 PST. 4. Each correct answer is worth 6 points, each question left unanswered is worth 1 point and each incorrect answer is worth 0 points. There is no penalty for incorrect answers. Scores will be posted at Elite Math Circle Facebook group on 21 November 2014 (time to post the scores are to be announced). 5. The top 5 participants who got the highest scores will be recognized. 6. For comments, clarifications and/or violent reactions, please send your messages to Russelle Guadalupe’s Facebook account www.facebook.com/rhguadalupe2.
