or (-1)?
A) 10 B) 20 C) 21 D) 11
Problem 8. Let us express all two-digit primes P which, when divided by 4, leave a remainder of
1, as the sum of the squares of two natural numbers (𝑃 = 𝑀 + 𝑁 ).

Problem 11. What is the last digit of the number equal to 111 × 666 × 222 − 111 × 333 × 555?
Problem 12. Two of the sides of an isosceles triangle with a perimeter of 35 cm have a ratio of
1:3. How many cm is the length of its third side?
Hint: The sum of the lengths of each two of the sides of the triangle is greater than the length of
the third side.
Problem 13. A square has been made up of 25 1×1 blocks. Color one block at a time and on it
write down the number of its adjacent blocks (if they share common sides) that have already been
colored. Once all blocks have been colored, calculate the sum of the numbers that have been
written on the 25 blocks.

Problem 17. If
9 + 99 + 999 + … + 999 … 99 + 999 … 99 = 𝑁,

how many digits 1 are used to write down the number N?

Problem 18. Nine consecutive even numbers, the greatest of which is 10, have been written down
in a 3×3 square. The sum of the numbers along each row, each column, and each diagonal, is the
same. Calculate N.
