Before starting to paint, Bill had
ounces of blue paint,
ounces of red paint, and
ounces of white paint. Bill painted four equally sized stripes on a wall, making a blue stripe, a red stripe, a white stripe, and a pink stripe. Pink is a mixture of red and white, not necessarily in equal amounts. When Bill finished, he had equal amounts of blue, red, and white paint left. Find the total number of ounces of paint Bill had left.

After the pink stripe is drawn, all three colors will be used equally so the pink stripe must bring the amount of red and white paint down to?
?ounces each. Say?
?is the fraction of the pink paint that is red paint and?
?is the size of each stripe. Then equations can be written:?
?and?
. The second equation becomes?
?and substituting the first equation into this one we get?
?so?
. The amount of each color left over at the end is thus?
?and?
.

First, we have:![]()
Now, let?

This is all we need to evaluate the given formula. Note that in our case we have?

The total number of grapes eaten can be computed as the sum of the arithmetic progression with initial term?
?(the number of grapes eaten by the child in?
-st place), difference?
, and number of terms?
. We can easily compute that this sum is equal to?
.
Hence we have the equation?
, and we are looking for a solution?
, where both?
?and?
?are positive integers,?
, and?
?is minimized. (The condition?
?states that even the last child had to eat a non-negative number of grapes.)
The prime factorization of?
?is?
. Hence there are?
?ways how to factor?
?into two positive terms?
?and?
:
The smallest valid solution is therefore?

We can use complementary counting. We can choose a five-element subset in?
?ways. We will now count those where no two numbers are consecutive. We will show a bijection between this set, and the set of 10-element strings that contain 5?
s and 5?
s, thereby showing that there are?
?such sets.
Given a five-element subset?
?of?
?in which no two numbers are consecutive, we can start by writing down a string of length 14, in which the?
-th character is?
?if?
?and?
?otherwise. Now we got a string with 5?
s and 9?
s. As no two numbers were consecutive, we know that in our string no two?
s are consecutive. We can now remove exactly one?
?from between each pair of?
s to get a string with 5?
s and 5?
s. And clearly this is a bijection, as from each string with 5?
s and 5?
s we can reconstruct one original set by reversing the construction.
Hence we have?
, and the answer is?
.
7.
First, note that?
, and that?
.
We can now take the fraction?
?and multiply both the numerator and the denominator by?
. We get that this fraction is equal to?
.
Now we can recognize that?
?is simply?
, hence this fraction is?
, and our sum turns into?
.
Let?
. Obviously?
?is an integer, and?
?can be written as?
. Hence if?
?is expressed as a fraction in lowest terms, its denominator will be of the form?
?for some?
.
In other words, we just showed that?
. To determine?
, we need to determine the largest power of?
?that divides?
.
Let?
?be the largest?
?such that?
?that divides?
.
We can now return to the observation that?
. Together with the obvious fact that?
is odd, we get that?
.
It immediately follows that?
, and hence?
.
Obviously, for?
?the function?
?is is a strictly decreasing function. Therefore?
.
We can now compute?
. Hence?
.
And thus we have?
, and the answer is?
.
Additionally, once you count the number of factors of?
?in the summation, one can consider the fact that, since?
?must be odd, it has to take on a value of?
?or?
?(Because the number of?
s in the summation is clearly greater than?
, dividing by?
?will yield a number greater than?
, and multiplying this number by any odd number greater than?
?will yield an answer?
, which cannot happen on the AIME.) Once you calculate the value of?
, and divide by?
,?
?must be equal to?
, as any other value of?
?will result in an answer?
. This gives?
?as the answer.

There are many almost equivalent approaches that lead to summing a geometric series. For example, we can compute the probability of the opposite event. Let?
?be the probability that Dave will make at least two more throws than Linda. Obviously,?
?is then also the probability that Linda will make at least two more throws than Dave, and our answer will therefore be?
.
How to compute?
?
Suppose that Linda made exactly?
?throws. The probability that this happens is?
, as she must make?
?unsuccessful throws followed by a successful one. In this case, we need Dave to make at least?
?throws. This happens iff his first?
?throws are unsuccessful, hence the probability is?
.
Thus for a fixed?
?the probability that Linda makes?
?throws and Dave at least?
?throws is?
.
Then, as the events for different?
?are disjoint,?
?is simply the sum of these probabilities over all?
. Hence:

Hence the probability we were supposed to compute is?
, and the answer is?
.

It is actually reasonably easy to compute?
?and?
?exactly.
First, note that if?
, then?
?must be odd. Let?
. We get?
, which simplifies to?
. For any pair of positive integers?
?such that?
?we have exactly one?
?such that the equality holds. Hence we need to count the pairs?
.
For a fixed?
,?
?can be at most?
. Hence the number of solutions is

Similarly, we can compute that?
, hence?
.
10.

We have?
, hence we can rewrite the inequality as follows:
We can now get rid of the logarithms, obtaining:
And this can be rewritten in terms of?
?as![]()
From?
?it follows that the?
?solutions for?
?must be the integers?
. This will happen if and only if the lower bound on?
?is in a suitable range -- we must have?
.
Obviously there is no solution for?
. For?
?the left inequality can be rewritten as?
, and the right one as?
.
Remember that we must have?
. However, for?
?we have?
, and hence?
, which is a contradiction. This only leaves us with the cases?
.
Therefore the answer is?
.
12.
Suppose that we have a valid solution with?
?pairs. As all?
?and?
?are distinct, their sum is at least?
. On the other hand, as the sum of each pair is distinct and at most equal to?
, the sum of all?
?and?
?is at most?
.
Hence we get a necessary condition on?
: For a solution to exist, we must have?
. As?
?is positive, this simplifies to?
, whence?
, and as?
?is an integer, we have?
.
If we now find a solution with?
, we can be sure that it is optimal.
From the proof it is clear that we don't have much "maneuvering space", if we want to construct a solution with?
. We can try to use the?
?smallest numbers:?
?to?
. When using these numbers, the average sum will be?
. Hence we can try looking for a nice systematic solution that achieves all sums between?
?and?
, inclusive.
Such a solution indeed does exist, here is one:
Partition the numbers?
?to?
?into four sequences:
Sequences?
?and?
?have?
?elements each, and the sums of their corresponding elements are?
. Sequences?
?and?
?have?
?elements each, and the sums of their corresponding elements are?
.
Thus we have shown that there is a solution for?
?and that for larger?
?no solution exists.
13.
Let the radius be 1 instead. All lengths will be halved so we will multiply by?
?at the end. Place the semicircle on the complex plane, with the center of the circle being 0 and the diameter being the real axis. Then?
?are 6 of the 14th roots of unity. Let?
; then?
?correspond to?
. Let?
?be their reflections across the diameter. These points correspond to?
. Then the lengths of the segments are?
. Noting that?
?represents 1 in the complex plane, the desired product is![]()
for?
. However, the polynomial?
?has as its zeros all 14th roots of unity except for?
and?
. Hence
Thus the product is?
?(
) when the radius is 1, and the product is?
. Thus the answer is?
.
14.
We can now simply start to compute the values?
?by hand:

We now discovered that?
. And as each?
?is uniquely determined by?
, the sequence becomes periodic. In other words, we have?
, and?
.
Therefore the answer is
