Scoring System
Questions 1 to 10 are worth 3 points, 11 to 20 are worth 4 points and 21 to 25 are worth
5 points. Questions 26 to 30 are worth 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 points, respectively.
No penalties apply for wrong attempts. Maximum score equals 135 points.
The first 25 questions are multiple choice with 5 choices. The last 5 question
have an integer answer between 0 and 999.
Here are sample questions used recently as 26 to 30 Questions which are typical of these
with 0 to 999 integer solutions.
SAMPLE QUESTIONS
Junior
The sum of the digits of the number 2004 is 6. How many whole numbers from 1000 to 9999 have 6 as the sum of their digits?
Intermediate
The Fibonacci numbers are F(1)=1, F(2)=1, F(3)=2, F(4)=3, F(5)=5,
F(6)=8, F(7)=13, ...
where the first two are both equal to 1, and from then on, each one
is the sum of the two preceding it. Of the first 2004 Fibonacci
numbers, how many have 2 as their last digit?
Senior
Seven numbers, each 1 or -1, are listed in a row in such a
way that adding the numbers
successively from left to right never gives a negative answer. For
example, 1 -1 1 1 -1 -1 1 has successive sums 1, 0, 1, 2, 1,
0, 1 and is valid, while 1 1 -1 -1 -1 1 1 has
successive sums 1, 2, 1, 0, -1, 0, 1, and is not valid. How many
valid lists are there?
THE MARK SENSE SHEET
The mark sense sheet is double sided. Below we show the reverse side, which
is used to answer the questions.
