Alicia had two containers. The first was full of water and the second was empty. She poured all the water from the first container
into the second container, at which point the second container was full of water. What is the ratio of the volume of the first
container to the volume of the second container?
Solution
Let the first jar\'s volume be and the second\'s be . It is given that . We find that
We already know that this is the ratio of smaller to larger volume because it is less than
--mguempel
Solution 2
We can set up a ratio to solve this problem. If x is the volume of the first container, and y is the volume of the second container,
then:
Cross Multiplying allows us to get . Thus the ratio of the volume of the first container to the
second container is
An alternate solution is to plug in some maximum volume for the first container - let\'s say
first container, and then the second container also has a volume of

Each piece of candy in a store costs a whole number of cents. Casper has exactly enough money to buy either 12 pieces of red
candy, 14 pieces of green candy, 15 pieces of blue candy, or pieces of purple candy. A piece of purple candy costs 20 cents.
What is the smallest possible value of ?
Solution 1
If he has enough money to buy 12 pieces of red candy, 14 pieces of green candy, and 15 pieces of blue candy, then the least money

We simply need to find a value of that divides 12, 14, and 15. divides 12 and 15, but not 14. successfully
divides 12, 14 and 15, meaning that we have exact change (in this case, 420 cents) to buy each type of candy, so the minimum

Solution 3
This problem is equivalent to finding the LCM of 12, 14, 15, and 20 (and then dividing it by 20). It is easy to see that the prime

Solution
Notice that whatever point we pick for C, AB will be the base of the triangle. WLOG, points A and B are (0,0) and (0,10) [notice that
for any other combination of points, we can just rotate the plane to be the same thing]. When we pick point C, we have to make
sure the y value of C is 20, because that\'s the only way the area of the triangle can be 100.
We figure that the one thing we need to test to see if there is such a triangle is when the perimeter is minimized, and the value of C
is (x, 20). Thus, we put C in the middle, so point C is (5, 20). We can easily see that AC and BC will both be

Solution 2

units away from it. But 10+20+20 is already 50, and this doesn\'t form a triangle. Otherwise, WLOG . Dropping altitude

Then, we can skip to the end and see that the last term and the first term are equal, and cancel each other out because they have
different signs. Therefore we see that every number cancels out. It might seem that there is some term in the middle, but if we use
a smaller example to check, we see that that is not the case. Therefore, the answer is

The figure below is a map showing cities and roads connecting certain pairs of cities. Paula wishes to travel along exactly
of those roads, starting at city and ending at city , without traveling along any portion of a road more than once. (Paula is
allowed to visit a city more than once.)
How many different routes can Paula take?
Solution (with some graph theory)
Let the bottom right vertex be (0,0) and let each of the edges have length 1 so that all of the vertices are at lattice points. First,
notice that for any vertex excluding and on the graph, we can visit it at most where deg is
the number of edges connected to . This is because to visit any of these vertices, we would have to visit and exit on two
different edges (This is a pretty standard principle in graph theory). We will label each vertex with this number.
Additionally, notice that if we visit vertices (not necessarily distinct; i.e. if we visit a vertex twice we count it as two vertices)
along our path, we must traverse edges (this is also pretty easy to prove). Thus, if we want to traverse 13 edges total, we
have to visit 14 vertices. We will visit and for sure, leaving us with 12 vertices to visit from the rest of the graph. If we add up
the maximum number of visits for each vertex, we find that this sum is equal to exactly 12. This means that we have to visit each
vertex times and we have to traverse edges connected to each vertex. Specifically, this tells us that we must
traverse all four of the edges connected to the two center vertices ((1,1) and (1,2)), both edges connected to the two corner
vertices (excluding and ), and any two edges connected to the other vertices along the outside edge of the rectangle. With
this information, we can proceed with just a few cases.
In this case, we see that we must immediately move right to in order to traverse the edge from to since we
can never revisit . However, by the same logic, we must immediately move to . This is a contradiction, so there are no
paths in this case.
Similar to the last case, we see that we must immediately move to . By symmetry, we conclude that our last two moves
must be . With this information, we have reduced the problem to traveling from to
with the same constraints as before. We redraw the graph, removing the edges we have already used and updating our labels (Note
that and are still labeled with since we will pass through them twice, including the start and end). Then, we
remove the vertices with label 0 and the edges we know we can never traverse, giving us:
Now, it is clear that we must complete a cycle in the lower left square, return to , go to , and complete a cycle in the
top right square, returning to . There are two ways to traverse each cycle (clockwise and anti-clockwise), giving us a total of
paths of length 13 from
(Solution by vedadehhc)
to .
Solution 2
Note the following route, which isn\'t that hard to discover:
!! Someone with good Latex/Asymptote skills please help !!
Look at the two square \"loop\"s. Each one can be oriented in one of two directions (lower left: either go down or left first; upper
right: either go right or up first). Therefore, the answer is 1 route * 2 * 2 = . Note that no choice is larger than it.
Solution 3
Note that of the 12 cities, 6 of them (2 on the top and bottom, 1 on the sides) have 3 edges connecting to them. Therefore, at least
1 edge connecting to them cannot be used. Additionally, the same goes for the start and end point as we don\'t want to return to
them. so we have 8 points that we know have 1 unused edge, and we have a total of 4 unused edges to work with (17-13), so we
easily find there is only one configuration that satisfies this:
X\'s represent unused edges, by necessity, lines are filled in for the paths.
Now, we find that at each of the 2 cities marked with an O, we have 2 possibilities to follow the path, we can either continue straight
and cross back over it later, or make a left turn and turn right when we approach the junction again/ This gives us

How many unordered pairs of edges of a given cube determine a plane?
Solution 1
WLOG, pick one of the 12 edges of the cube to be among the two selected. We seek the answer by computing the probability that a
random choice of second edge satisfies the problem statement.
For two line segments in space to correspond to a common plane, they must correspond to lines that either intersect or are
parallel. If all 12 line segments are extended to lines, our first edge\'s line intersects 4 lines and is parallel to another 3. Thus 7 of the
11 line segments satisfy the problem statement.
We compute:
