Problem 1

In the year 2001, the United States will host the International Mathematical Olympiad. Let $I$, $M$, and $O$ be distinct positive integers such that the product $I \cdot M \cdot O = 2001$. What is the largest possible value of the sum $I + M + O$?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 23 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 55 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 99 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 111 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 671$

Solution

Problem 2

$2000({2000}^{2000}) =$

$\mathrm{(A)}\ {2000}^{2001} \qquad \mathrm{(B)}\ {4000}^{2000} \qquad \mathrm{(C)}\ {2000}^{4000} \qquad \mathrm{(D)}\ {4,000,000}^{2000} \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ {2000}^{4,000,000}$

Solution

Problem 3

Each day, Jenny ate $20\%$ of the jellybeans that were in her jar at the beginning of that day. At the end of the second day, $32$ remained. How many jellybeans were in the jar originally?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 40 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 50 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 55 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 60 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 75$

Solution

Problem 4

Chandra pays an on-line service provider a fixed monthly fee plus an hourly charge for connect time. Her December bill was $$$12.48$, but in January her bill was $$$17.54$ because she used twice as much connect time as in December. What is the fixed monthly fee?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ $ $2.53 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ $ $5.06 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ $ $6.24 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ $ $7.42 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ $ $8.77$

Solution

Problem 5

Points $M$ and $N$ are the midpoints of sides $PA$ and $PB$ of $\triangle PAB$. As $P$ moves along a line that is parallel to side $AB$, how many of the four quantities listed below change?

(a) the length of the segment $MN$

(b) the perimeter of $\triangle PAB$

(c) the area of $\triangle PAB$

(d) the area of trapezoid $ABNM$

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 0 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 1 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 2 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 3 \qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 4$

Solution

Problem 6

The Fibonacci sequence $1, 1, 2, 3, 5, 8, 13, 21, \ldots$ starts with two $1$s, and each term afterwards is the sum of its two predecessors. Which one of the ten digits is the last to appear in the units position of a number in the Fibonacci sequence?

$\mathrm{(A)}\ 0 \qquad\mathrm{(B)}\ 4 \qquad\mathrm{(C)}\ 6 \qquad\mathrm{(D)}\ 7\qquad\mathrm{(E)}\ 9$
