A Pascal-like triangle has 1010 as the top row and 1010 followed by 11 as the second row. In each subsequent row the first number is 1010, the last number is 11, and, as in the standard Pascal Triangle, each other number in the row is the sum of the two numbers directly above it. The first four rows are shown below.

// PROBLEM

Frances stands 1515 meters directly south of a locked gate in a fence that runs east-west. Immediately behind the fence is a box of chocolates, located xx meters east of the locked gate. An unlocked gate lies 99 meters east of the box, and another unlocked gate lies 88 meters west of the locked gate. Frances can reach the box by walking toward an unlocked gate, passing through it, and walking toward the box. It happens that the total distance Frances would travel is the same via either unlocked gate. What is the value of xx?

On Monday, 66 students went to the tutoring center at the same time, and each one was randomly assigned to one of the 66 tutors on duty. On Tuesday, the same 66 students showed up, the same 66 tutors were on duty, and the students were again randomly assigned to the tutors. What is the probability that exactly 22 students met with the same tutor both Monday and Tuesday?

// PROBLEM

Nine athletes, no two of whom are the same height, try out for the basketball team. One at a time, they draw a wristband at random, without replacement, from a bag containing 3 blue bands, 3 red bands, and 3 green bands. They are divided into a blue group, a red group, and a green group. The tallest member of each group is named the group captain. What is the probability that the group captains are the three tallest athletes?

A container has a 1×11 \times 1 square bottom, a 3×33 \times 3 open square top, and four congruent trapezoidal sides, as shown.

Four congruent semicircles are inscribed in a square of side length 1 so that their diameters are on the sides of the square, one endpoint of each diameter is at a vertex of the square, and adjacent semicircles are tangent to each other. A small circle centered at the center of the square is tangent to each of the four semicircles, as shown below.

The diameter of the small circle can be written as (a+b)(c+d)(\sqrt{a} + b)(\sqrt{c} + d), where aa, bb, cc, and dd are integers. What is a+b+c+da + b + c + d?

A rectangular grid of squares has 141 rows and 91 columns. Each square has room for two numbers. Horace and Vera each fill in the grid by putting the numbers from 1 through 141×91=12,831141 \times 91 = 12{,}831 into the squares. Horace fills the grid horizontally: he puts 1 through 91 in order from left to right into row 1, puts 92 through 182 into row 2 in order from left to right, and continues similarly through row 141. Vera fills the grid vertically: she puts 1 through 141 in order from top to bottom into column 1, then 142 through 282 into column 2 in order from top to bottom, and continues similarly through column 91. How many squares get two copies of the same number?

A frog hops along the number line according to the following rules:

  • It starts at 00.
  • If it is at 00, then it moves to 11 with probability 12\dfrac{1}{2} and it disappears with probability 12\dfrac{1}{2}.
  • For n=1,2n = 1, 2, or 33, if it is at nn, then it moves to n+1n+1 with probability 14\dfrac{1}{4}, it moves to n1n-1 with probability 14\dfrac{1}{4}, and it disappears with probability 12\dfrac{1}{2}.

What is the probability that the frog reaches 44?

// PROBLEM

Square ABCDABCD has sides of length 4. Points PP and QQ lie on AD\overline{AD} and CD\overline{CD}, respectively, with AP=85AP = \dfrac{8}{5} and DQ=103DQ = \dfrac{10}{3}. A path begins along the segment from PP to QQ and continues by reflecting against the sides of ABCDABCD (with congruent incoming and outgoing angles). If the path hits a vertex of the square, it terminates there; otherwise it continues forever. At which vertex does the path terminate?
