1) One solution is 41312432. This is not unique because, for example, the digits may be
written backwards to produce 23421314. Other solutions may also exist.
2) 160 + 120π cubic metres
 3) holstein
4) 25 triangles
5) The smallest such number is 2519. Others may be produced by adding multiples of
2520.
6) $1540. Hints: How many times will the hands be perpendicular between 8 and 10
o’clock? How many times between 2 and 4 o’clock?
7) 18 7→ 8, 49 7→ 12, and 371 7→ 10. The rule is to sum the digits and subtract 1.
8) a) 8

This problem set was mistakenly dated March 12, 2009. In fact, it was a set of new
problems discussed on March 19.

1) F = 7
2) 16 factors: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 8, 10, 12, 15, 20, 24, 30, 40, 60, 120
3) 120◦
4) 18, 046
5) 12
√
6) 3/2
7) 576
8) Two: 7436 and 3476. Note that a number is divisible by 44 if and only if it is divisible
both by 4 and 11.
9) Either 18 or 21
10) 180 (with n = 12 and n + 3 = 15)
